Solution

The correct option is A Cost concept
As per Cost Concept, an asset is always recorded at its historical cost.
Here, Historical cost includes
Cost of Machinery = 100,000
Transportation Charges = 10000
Installation Charges = 4000
Dismantling Charges = 10,000
Total Cost = 124,000

However, here it is recorded at the market value which implies that the Cost concept is being violated
