Working Note 1: Calculation of Plant & Machinery Account:

Dr.	Plant & Machinery Account		Cr.
Particulars	Amount (₹)	Particulars	Amount (₹)
To Balance b/d	8,50,000	By Acc. Depreciation (on sold asset)	70,000
To Bank (Purchases - Balancing fig.)	3,36,000	By Bank (Sale)	1,06,000
		By Loss on Sale (P&L)	44,000
		By Balance c/d	10,30,000
Total	11,86,000	Total	11,86,000

Note: Depreciation on sold asset = Total cost ₹ 1,50,000 − NBV (₹ 1,06,000 + ₹ 44,000) = ₹ 70,000

Working Note 2: Calculation of Machines Sold:

Cost = ₹ 1,50,000

Loss = ₹ 44,000

Sale proceeds = ₹ 1,50,000 − ₹ 44,000 = ₹ 1,06,000

Working Note 3: Calculation of Redemption of Debentures:

• 8% Debentures decreased from ₹ 5,00,000 to ₹ 3,00,000
  = ₹ 2,00,000 redeemed
• Premium @ 4% on ₹ 2,00,000
  = ₹ 8,000
• Total outflow = ₹ 2,00,000 + ₹ 8,000
  = ₹ 2,08,000
