    Neither can we without a bit more information from the question:

    – What’s the expected life of the plant and its residual value?
    – What was the carrying value of the other PPE before the addition?
    – What date was the addition made and what is the reporting date?

    There is existing plant and new plant i did not understood the calculation of only new plant
    Here’s the information about existing plant
    Valuation was 150m

    So the carrying amt is 45m
    And existing plant in depreciated @20% on cost

    And what date was the addition made and what is the reporting date?

    If it was made halfway through the year then that will be where 10% is coming from.

    From April to September its 6 months that’s why a 6 month depreciation was charged.
