6. (a) Distinguish between book value, market value and replacement value.
(b) The original investment for an asset was Rs. 10,000, and the asset was assumedto have a service life of 12 years with Rs. 2,000 salvage value at the end of service life. After the asset has been in use for 5 years, the remaining service lifeand final salvage value are reestimated at 10 years and Rs. 1000, respectively.
Under these conditions, what is depreciation cost during the sixth year of thetotal life if straight line depreciation is used? [6+10]
7. (a) Discuss about capitalized costs method for determining profitability.
(b) A company has three alternative investments which are being considered. Be-cause all three investments are of the same type of unit and yield the sameservice, only one of the investments can be accepted. The risk factors are thesame for all three cases. Company policies, based on the current economicsituation dictate that a minimum annual return on the original investmentof 15% after taxes must be predicted for any unnecessary investment with
interest on investment not included as a cost. (This may be assumed to meanthat other equally sound investments yielding a 15% return after taxes areavailable) Company policies also dictate that, where applicable, straight-linedepreciation is used and, for time value of money interpretations, end-of-yearcost and profit analysis is used. Land value and pre-startup costs can be ig-nored.Given the following data, determine which investment, if any, should be madeby alternative-analysis profitability-evaluation method of capitalized costs.

fixed-capital investment involved is Rs. 2,50,000, and insurance costs for completeprotection would amount to Rs. 2,000 per year. If self insurance is used, a reservefund will be set up under the companys jurisdiction, and annual insurance premiumsof Rs. 1,500 would be deposited in this fund under an ordinary annuity plan. Allmoney in the fund can be assumed to earn interest at a compound annual rate of 5%. Neglecting any charges connected with administration of the fund, how muchmoney would be deposited in the fund at the beginning of he program in order tohave enough money accumulated to replace a complete Rs. 2,50,000 loss after 10years. [16]

(b) The original cost of a property is Rs. 30,000, and it is depreciated by a 6%sinking fund method. What is the annual depreciation charge if the bookvalue of the property after 10 years is the same as if it had been depreciatedat Rs. 2,500 per year by the straight line method? [8+8]
7. (a) Explain rate of return on investment for profitability analysis.
(b) An investigation of a proposed investment has been made.

Using this information, determine the standard rate of return onthe investment. [6+10]
