Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A) Rs. 625,680
Explanation
The asset was understated by 43,200 (48k - 4.8k). The depreciation recorded was 240 (4,800 * 10% * 6/12) instead of 2,400 (48,000 * 10% * 6/12). Depreciation is understated by 2,160. Corrected profit = 630,000 - 2,160 = 627,840. (Wait, let's re-read the source: 'Increase in dep to be recorded 4800 - 480 = 4320. Corrected profit = 630,000 - 4320 = 625,680'. Source assumed full year depreciation despite 1 July purchase! Based on source, the answer is 625,680).
