Q. Depreciation appearing in the Trial Balance should be?
a. Debited to P&L A/c
b. Shown as liability in Balance Sheet
c. Reduced from related asset in Balance Sheet
d. Both A. and C. above
Any item appearing in the Trial Balance will have one effect i.e., depreciation appearing in the Trial Balance will be debited to the Profit & Loss Account. However, if depreciation is given in the adjustments, it will have double effect i.e., it should be debited to P&L A/c and deducted from the gross fixed asset block in the Balance Sheet also.
