All cost paid to make machinery ready for use will be considered as cost of machine.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation of cost of machinery
Purchase of machine 240,000
Wire charges 6,000
Additional charges 1,200
Total cost 247,200
Calculation of depreciation
Depreciation = (Cost - salvage value)/ useful years of life
=(247200-28800)/ 6
=36400
Straightline depreciation method
Opening asset value 247200
Depreciation for 6 years
(36400*6) (218400)
Final asset value balance 28800
