Machinery- ₹40,000
Stock of raw material- ₹20,000
Stock of finished goods- ₹30,000
Debtors- ₹20,000

On the date of retirement, the building is to be appreciated by 20%. What will be the value of the building after appreciation?

Options:

₹20,000

₹1,00,000

₹1,20,000

₹80,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,20,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹1,20,000.

Building = ₹1,00,000
Appreciation = 20% 
So, appreciation = 1,00,000*20/100
                           = ₹20,000

So the current value = 1,00,000 + 20,000
                                 = ₹1,20,000
