None of the aboveExplanation / Answer
Part A)
Effect in total tax of veridian dynamics
a)Tax as new accounting policy for 2015 and 2016 (360000+380000)=740000
b)Tax as per old accounting policy for 2015 and 2016(190000+250000)=440000
C) effect in deffered tax asset (a-b)=300000
As change in policy lead to increase in net income hence it will be debited to deffered tax asset by 300000.
Option (c) is correct
Answer to part (B)
Actual life of machine is 10 years.
cost of machine 800000.and scrap valve 300000.
Depreciation as per slm method (actual cost-scrap value)/usefull life
Depreciation for year (800000-300000)/10=50000
Depreciation for first four year=50000*4=200000
Written down valve on 31.12.2016=800000-200000=600000
calculation of depreciation after change in estimates
Revised scrap value of machine 80000
WDV of machine 600000
remaining life= 20years -4 years=16
depreciation for the year 2017=(WDV-scrap value)/remaining life
depreciation for the year 2017=(600000-80000)/16=32500
option (c) is correct.
