Hello, Can you please explain how the figure 492,500 was gotten under the tax allowable depreciation working? Thank you.

I am sorry, but I do not have the BPP book. You will have to tell me which exam it is from.

The examiner has shown his workings in a strange way. The tax written down value after 3 years is 800,000 - 200,000 - 150,000 - 112,500 = 337500. In the year of sale we subtract the scrap proceeds (of 30,000) and the balance of 337500 - 30000 = 307500 is the balancing allowance. (the 492500 is not really at all relevant :-) )
