Solution

The book value of a plant asset is determined by option b. deducting the balance of the accumulated depreciation from the asset cost.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. Start with the original cost of the asset. This is the amount that was paid to acquire the asset.

  2. Determine the accumulated depreciation of the asset. This is the total depreciation that has been recorded for the asset since it was acquired.

  3. Subtract the accumulated depreciation from the original cost of the asset. The result is the book value of the asset.

So, if an asset was purchased for 10,000andithasaccumulateddepreciationof10,000 and it has accumulated depreciation of 4,000, the book value of the asset would be 6,000(6,000 (10,000 - $4,000).
