An unrecorded asset was recorded at ₹18000 and later sold for ₹20000. What is the additional gain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹2000

An unrecorded asset is first brought into the books at the value assigned to it. If it is later sold for a higher amount, the difference between the sale proceeds and the recorded value is an additional gain. Here, the asset was recorded at ₹18,000 and sold for ₹20,000. Therefore, the additional gain is ₹20,000 − ₹18,000 = ₹2,000, so option A is correct.

The recorded value acts as the asset’s book value for this calculation. The sale brings in ₹20,000, but ₹18,000 was already recognised when the asset was recorded. Only the excess amount, ₹2,000, is a new gain on sale. The answers ₹18,000 and ₹20,000 confuse the book value or sale value with the gain, while zero would ignore the increase in value.
