suppose a company traded in an old machine having a carrying amount of Rs.16800 and cash difference of Rs. 6000 for a new machine having total cash price of Rs. 20500.so my question is what would be the cost price of new machine?

21 May 2009 By looking ur case, W.D.V. of old machine is Rs.16800/- and sold for (20500-6000)=Rs.14500/-and with it Rs. 14,500( selling price as mutually agreed)+ Rs.6000/- in cash is paid for new machine.
So cost of new machine should be Rs. 14,500+Rs. 6,000/-= Rs. 20,500/-
and loss on sale of old machine will be 16800-14500=Rs.2,300/-

22 May 2009 The above answer is correct. Only one aspect, the question is not clear whether the Sale price of Old Machine is Rs.14500 or Rs.6000

If it is 14500/- the above answer is correct.

If it is 6000 the loss on Sale of asset will be
WDV- Sale price = 16800-6000 = 10800
