Solution

To calculate the depreciation, we first need to determine the depreciable amount. This is the cost of the asset minus its salvage value.

Step 1: Calculate the depreciable amount Depreciable amount = Cost of the asset - Salvage value Depreciable amount = P50,000 - P5,000 = P45,000

Step 2: Calculate the annual depreciation Annual depreciation = Depreciable amount / Useful life Annual depreciation = P45,000 / 10 = P4,500

Since the company has a semi-annual accounting period, we need to calculate the semi-annual depreciation.

Step 3: Calculate the semi-annual depreciation Semi-annual depreciation = Annual depreciation / 2 Semi-annual depreciation = P4,500 / 2 = P2,250

So, the amount of depreciation to be recorded on June 30, 2017 is P2,250. Therefore, the correct answer is b. P2,250.
