Solution

The correct option is B False
Both 'Expected Obsolescence' and 'Unexpected Obsolescence' are considered for determining the amount of depreciation- this is a false statement since only expected obsolescence is considered for determining the amount of depreciation. It has two components: loss of value of fixed assets due to change in technology and change in demand.
