CAPITAL WORK IN PROGRESS
If an asset is not completed at that time when balance sheet is prepared, all costs incurred on that asset up to
the balance sheet date are transferred to an account called Capital Work in Progress Account. This
account is shown separately in the balance sheet below the fixed asset. Capital work in progress account
contains all expenses incurred on the asset until it is converted into working condition. All these expenses
will become part of the cost of that asset. When an asset is completed and it is ready to work, all costs in the
capital work in progress account will transfer to the relevant asset account through the following entry:
Debit:
Relevant asset account
Credit:
Capital work in progress account
ILLUSTRATION # 1
A machine is purchased for Rs. 400,000. Its useful life is estimated to be five years. Its residual value is Rs.
25,000. After four years, it was sold for Rs. 40,000. For the purpose of WDV, its depreciation rate is 40%.
You are required to show calculation of depreciation for four years. Also calculate profit or loss on disposal.
SOLUTION
Calculation of depreciation and profit & loss on the basis of straight line method:
Depreciation/year = (400,000 ­ 25,000)/5 = 75,000 (Straight line method)
As, machine was sold after four years but its useful life was estimated for five years, when we calculate
depreciation of the asset under straight line method, we will divide its WDV over five years, not on four
years.
