Solution

The correct option is B Loss of Rs. 100000
Profit/loss on Asset = Sale value of asset - WDV of asset
= 50000 - 1,50,000
= Loss of RS-1,00,000

Working notes:-
WDV of the asset as on 31.12.08
= Cost - depreciation for 7 years on SLM basis
= 5,00,000 - 3,50,000 ( 50,000 x 7years)
= RS-1,50,000
Depreciation on SLM basis = depreciable amount
------------------------------
useful life
= 5,00,000
-------------------
10
= RS-50,000.
