Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Calculation of depreciation

 = \(\frac{10}{100} \times 60, 000\) = # 6000

Depreciation at the year of disposal = \(\frac{6}{12}\) x \(\frac{10}{100}\) x 60,000 = #3000

  #    
Cost 60,000 provision for depreciation 27,000
    Cash realised from sales of assets 16,000
    loss on sales  17,000

                 60000                                                                                                60,000
