Solution

The correct option is D No profit, no loss

The cost of equipment, vehicles, and furniture includes the purchase price, sales taxes, transportation fees, insurance paid to cover the item during shipment, assembly, installation, and all other costs associated with making the item ready for use.

Therefore, in the given question cost of second hand machine includes current repairs and hence, the cost of machine was Rs. (100000 + 10000) = Rs. 110000.

(Profit) / Loss on sale of machinery = Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation - Sales value of asset

(Profit) / Loss on sale of machinery = Rs. 110000 - Rs. 50000 - Rs. 60000

(Profit) / Loss on sale of machinery = 0

Therefore, in the above question there is no profit or loss on disposal of asset or machinery.
