    (i) The Machinery account in the records of a company for the year ended 31 December 2018 is shown below:

    Machinery – at cost
    £ £
    Opening bal. 300,000 30 November Disposals 120,000
    1 June Bank 72,000 Bal c/d 252,000
    372,000 372,000

    The company’s policy is to charge straight line depreciation at 10% per year on a proportionate basis.

    300,000 – 120,000 = 180,000
    180,000 + 72,000 = 252, 000

    What should be the charge for depreciation in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2018?

    A £25,200

    B £20,400

    C £33,200

    D £30,000

    Hi can you please explain this question to me step by step and how to get the answer. I’m quite confused
    Thank you!
