    years with scrap value ₹25,000. The company provides depreciation on WDV at 25% p.a. After 3 years, the machine is sold for ₹1,80,000. What is the profit or loss on sale?
    A Loss ₹1,20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Profit ₹15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Loss ₹95,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Profit ₹11,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Loss ₹80,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    WDV after 3 years = 4,00,000 × (0.75³) = 4,00,000 × 0.422 = ₹1,68,750. Sale proceeds = ₹1,80,000. Profit = 1,80,000 – 1,68,750 = ₹11,250
