Explanation / Answer

(a) Gain(loss) on marketable securities when sold out for 65,000 = 65000-152400= (87400)

(b) Gain on production equipment: Sale price-Book value

=36500-20080 = 16420 (where as cost will be 20080 (Cost price-depreciation upto date i.e.100400-80320))

(c) Gain on Land: 227500-216750 = 10750

(d) Gain on Building: 227500 - 148400 = 79100

Where cost (cost - depreciation upto date) = 212000-63600= 148400

(e) Gain on securirities when sold out for 160,800= 160800-152400= 8400

Gain for Ques A: a+b+c+d= -87400+16420+10750+79100= 18,870

Gain for Ques B: b+c+d+e= 10750+79100+16420+8400= 114,670
