What will be depreciation and accumulated depreciation amount for Y/E 31.03.2020
Is it 6400 Depreciation and 24400 Accumulated Depreciation or

Is this in the bookkeeping records or in the accounts?
If the depreciation was put through the accounts and it was just missed in bookkeeping then it's option 1. If it hasn't gone through the accounts then I think you'll need to make a prior year adjustment for the previous years to add the depreciation back in.AAT Level 4, MAAT
