Answer 1

Ans (a). Carrying amount of Land - Purchase price of Land + Cost of levelling = $20,000,000 + $850,000 = $20,850,000

Carrying amount of Factory

	Particulars	Amt
	Cost of Materials	7,500,000
Add:	Cost of employment of Construction period ($500,000 x 5)	2,500,000
Add:	Administrative Overhead allocated ($200,000 x 4)	800,000
Add:	Consultancy Cost	500,000
Add:	Cost of Roof	2,400,000
	TOTAL	13,700,000

Calculation of Depreciation: (i) On Factory Structure = $11,300,000 / (40 x 12) = $23,541.67 per month or $282,500 pa   (ii) On Factory Roof = $2,400,000 / (20 x 12)   = $10,000 per month or $120,000 pa

Carrying Amount as on 31-03-2018: (i) Land = $20,850,000 (ii) Factory = $13,700,000 - ($282,500 + $120,000) = $13,297,500
