Rules of Block Concept

If the block ceases to exist (all assets sold), even if WDV remains, depreciation is zero. Remaining WDV becomes a Short Term Capital Loss.
If sales value exceeds block value, the remainder is Short Term Capital Gain.
Depreciation is claimed on the block, not on individual assets.
