Qn.1(c)
We are given the closing balance of the machine in the TB. This means that depreciation hasn't been provided on it. Usually asset balances in TB are before providing dep.
In my opinion this is the way the problem has to be approached. It may or may not be correct.
Calculation of depreciation
1. Depreciation on sold machine (160000*5%) = 8000
2. Depreciation on new machine (150000* 5 %)= 7500
3. Depreciation on remaining block
Opening WDV ( on 01 Apr 2010) = 560000+160000-150000
= 570000
So depn remaining block=
(570000 - 160000-150000)* 10%= 26000
Hence total dep = 8000+7500+26000 = 41500.
Book Value in B/S = 560000-41500 = 518500
Loss on sale is same as has been worked out earlier,Rs.17000
