The following qualifying expenditures related to the asset were made during the year: $60,000 on April 1, $90,000 on June 1, and $100,000 uniformly during the period.

(A) $250,000
(B) $190,000
(C) $140,000
(D) $130,000

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation: The accumulated expenditure for the second quarter could be calculated by considering the expenditure as per the basis of time perios:-

For april = $60,000 * (3/3) = $60,000

For june = $90,000 * (1/3) = $30,000

For rest = $100,000 * (1.5/3) = $50,000

Hence the total accumlated depreciation is $140,000.
