Fixed Assets

[Asifkhan]

1- Could anyone provide me the information on the prescribed rates, to be used for depreciation, by CBR with regards to different assets?

2- How do we classify I.e. fised asset or expense, under normal circumstances the value of mobile hand sets / normal telephone sets?

Regards,

Asif

I guess i have asked something which no body knows, is it true guys?

Rates for depreciation have been clearly stated in the ordinance. As they keep of changing so I may not be quite certain. I would recommend to consult the ordinance.

Did not get your second question.

Thanks Shoaib.

My second question was with regards to buying of Cell phones and normal telephone sets. Now question arises,

Shall we capitalize the value of these items or not? If capitalize them than as you said should get the rate for depreciation from ordinance, am i right?

Following is the capitalization criteria as per the IAS
1)asset has useful life of more than one year
2)It loses value through wear and tear
3)economic benefit is expected in future
Same is the criteria for CBR
There is nothing mentioned regarding amount. but materiality is one of the basic accounting concepts. So u must consider materiality while capitalizing anything...
and Depreciation
building-general->5% Factory etc->10%
furniture and plant->10
computers->30
Books etc->20
