Debit Balance on 31st March 2019 = GH₵387,000

2. Accumulated Depreciation - Plant:

Credit Balance on 1st April 2018 = GH₵157,500

Debit: Disposal of Plants on 31st December, 2018 = GH₵27,427.10

b) Reduced Balance for Disposed Plants

October 2015 Cost = GH₵40,500

March 2016 less Depreciation = GH₵6,075

Reduced Balance = GH₵34,425

March 2017 less Depreciation = GH₵10,327.50

Reduced Balance = GH₵24,097.50

March 2018 less Depreciation = GH₵7,229.25

Reduced Balance = GH₵16,868.25

December 2018  less Depreciation = GH₵3,795.35

Reduced Balance = GH₵13,072.90
