An organisation's asset register shows a carrying value of $145,600. The non-current asset account in the nominal ledger shows a carrying value of $135,600. The difference could be due to a disposed asset not having been deducted from the asset register. Which one of the following could represent that asset?
A Asset with disposal proceeds of $15,000 and a profit on disposal of $5,000
B Asset with disposal proceeds of $15,000 and a carrying value of $5,000
C Asset with disposal proceeds of $15,000 and a loss on disposal of $5,000
D Asset with disposal proceeds of $5,000 and a carrying value of $5,000
i have a question why B is not correct
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Tangible non-current assets
10y ago#1The carrying value of the asset sold must have been 145,600 - 135,600 = 10,000
In B, the carrying value is only 5,000.
What's the answer

the nominal ledger shows a carrying amount of $135,600. The difference could be due to a disposed
