A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/21

Explanation
Depreciation calculation requires timing details for pro-rata adjustment Steps:
- Calculate NBV of original machines at start of year 3: each 16,000 (total $32,000 for two).
- One machine sold at $16,000 NBV, implying sale before year 3 depreciation on it (no depreciation on sold asset).
- Remaining old machine NBV 30,000 cost.
- Depreciation at 20% reducing balance on assets owned at year-end, but purchase/sale timing during year 3 unspecified, so pro-rata portion for new machine (and any partial for sold) unknown. Not enough information.
Final answer: Not enough information.
