Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Rs. 1,08,000

Depreciable value of asset:-

Cost of the asset = 10,40,000

Add:- delivery charges = 20,000

erection charges = 40,000

Additional components to increase capacity = 80,000

Less:- Agreed discount = (1,00,000)

-------------------

Cost of the asset 10,80,000

Depreciation (SLM Basis) = value of asset x rate

= 10,80,000 x 10/100

= RS-1,08,000.
