31 October 2007 Case A

Capital Expenditure = 5 LAKH
Revenue Expenditure = 15000 + 10000 = 25000

Case C

Total premium = 1500000*20% = 300000

Write off in 10 years i.e. is Rs. 30000 every year

31 October 2007 Case A- When they are asking for amt to be expense means they are asking for Revenue expense hence answer must be 25000
Case B - Let the total commision = X
Invioce value =100000+25%OF 100000
= 125000
I V of goods sold = 125000*3/5
= 75000
Amount of commission-
X =2%of 85000+20%(85000-X-75000)
=1700+2000-0.20X
1.20X= 3700
X = 3700/1.20 = 3083
Case 3 Premium on redemption= 1500000*20%
=300000
Premium at issue = 1500000*10%
= 150000
Amount to be wriitten off
= (300000-150000)/10 = 15000
