Leo purchased an asset at a cost of 50,000 on 1 April 20x2. The machine was sold for 13000 on 31 March 20x6. At that date, accumulated depreciation on the machine amounted to 34,000. What is the profit or loss on disposal of the asset

bank loan for general borrowing at 8% pa 130,000. The company used 60,000 for the construction of building on 1 February 2024. What borrowing cost should be capitalized for the new building and what as expense

Borrowing cost for the new building = 60,000*8%*11/12 = 4400
Expense = 400
Closing stock in the books worth $60000 includes a product which is damaged in rain (costing $10000) , which can be sold for 3000 after incurring an exp of $500. what is the value of closing stock in books?

Cost = 10,000
Net Realizable value 3000-500 = 2500

On 1/1/2021, an asset was purchased for $5,00,000, useful life – 10 years. No scrap value. On 31/12/2022, an impairment review was done, fair value - $ 3,50,000, cost of disposal - $10,000, Value in use - $3,80,000.
Compute impairment loss as 31/12/2022.
•Carrying amount = cost – acc deprn = 500000 – 100000 = 400000
•Fair value – cost of disposal =350000 – 10000 = 340000
•Value in use = 380000
•Recoverable amount = 340000 or 380000 w e h = 380000
•Impairment loss = $400000 - $380000 = $20000.- SOPL - DR
