a $58720
b $70200
c $59000
d $63200
plz explain me in detail i will be very thankful to uSince the are using reducing balance, you need to know the carrying value/net book value (NBV) at the start of the year.
It was 270,000 but you need to add on the cost of the new car (46,000) and subtract the net book value of the car that was sold.
The car that was sold was bought for 35,000 but will have been depreciated (reducing balance) for 2 year (X0 and X1).Calculate the NBV of the car sold.
The take the opening balance + cost of new car – NBV of car sold.Then calculate 20% of this figure.
