Accumulated depreciation at 1 January was $150,000; the depreciation charge for the year was $70,000; accumulated depreciation on the disposed assets was $45,000.

Closing cost is $510,000 and closing accumulated depreciation is $175,000, giving a carrying amount of $335,000.
- A$285,000
- B$315,000Correct
- C$330,000
- D$375,000
Explanation
Closing cost = 480,000 + 90,000 - 60,000 = 510,000. Closing accumulated depreciation = 150,000 + 70,000 - 45,000 = 175,000. Carrying amount = 510,000 - 175,000 = 335,000. Check: opening carrying amount 330,000 + 90,000 additions - 70,000 depreciation - 15,000 disposal carrying amount = 335,000. Note: the options need to match, so the correct figure is $335,000, which is not offered; see corrected options in this item.
