Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Calculation of cost of the machinery:- 
Cost as per supplier                                                                        =  5,20,000
Add:- delivery charges                                                                   =      10,000
          erection charges                                                                   =     20,000
          Additional component to increase capacity of machine    =     40,000
                                                                                                          -------------------
                                                                                                          = 5,90,000
Less:- Agreed discount                                                                   =   (50,000)
                                                                                                         ----------------------
Cost of the machinery :-                                                                =  5,40,000

Depreciation on machinery (SLM Basis) = Cost of machinery x rate 
                                                                   = 5,40,000 x 10/100
                                                                   = 54,000.
Note:- All the cost that are incurred to bring the machinery in the running condition when purchased will be added to the cost of the machinery. Costs like annual maintenance charges, insurance charges, additional maintenance charges etc will not be included in the cost of the machinery.
