On 30th June 3 acres of land were sold by A ltd for 192000. A ltd had originally purchased 4 acres of land, the indexed cost of the 4 acres on 30 June 2014 was 196000. The market value of the unsold acre of land as at 30 June 2014 was 53000. During June 2014 A ltd spent 29400 clearing and leveling the 3 acres of land that were sold.
What is the total of the original indexed cost and enhancement expenditure that will be deducted to compute the gain on the disposal on 30 june 2014?
Are we supposed to use A/(A+B), but its wrong the answer is 183000 how?
May 27, 2015 at 8:00 pm #249683183000 is correct if they are asking the allowable cost. What does the question ask? Allowable cost or gain?

May 28, 2015 at 11:56 am #249805(192000/192000+53000)*196000 = 153600

May 28, 2015 at 1:49 pm #249835Good work Abdul – use the value based part disposal formula to establish share of the 4 acre cost belonging to the 3 acres sold and then deduct in full those costs specific to the 3 acres sold
