Hello @Srushti_Gosai

From what I can understand, the simple logic to calculate depreciation amount in Straight line method is :

  • Depreciation Amount = Gross Purchase Amount: (2833752.00) / Total Number of Depreciations: 15

which is ā‚¹ 1,86,581.69

Moreover, I donā€™t understand your ā€œOpening Accumulated Depreciationā€, for 2 months it should be ā‚¹ 1,86,581.69 *2 = 3,73,163.38ā€¬ , right?

I would update that value and check again the calculation.

Hello @Darshan_Patel1

There is also salvage value hereā€¦so calculation should be like this:

  • Depreciation Value = (Gross Purchase Amountāˆ’Residual Value )/ Total Number of Depreciations

  • Depreciation Value = (2833752āˆ’141688 )/ 15 = 179470.933333333

and bout the Number of Depreciations Booked: 2
itā€™s actually 1.5 monthsā€¦but idk how to handle this case here in assetā€¦

Thatā€™s why iā€™ve asked this question hereā€¦
