A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/O/N/18

Explanation
Proceeds from asset sale formula
Steps:
- Net book value = original cost - accumulated depreciation = 760 - 500 = 260
- Profit on sale = proceeds - net book value
- Rearrange to find proceeds = net book value + profit = 260 + 70
- Proceeds = 330
Why D is correct:
- Proceeds equal net book value plus profit, as defined in accounting for asset disposals.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Adds only depreciation and profit, ignoring cost.
- B: Likely subtracts depreciation from profit, missing net book value.
- C: Understates by subtracting profit from net book value.
Final answer: D
