TRUE

Cost allocation is the process of assigning indirect costs to cost objects such as a product, a department, a job.

Indirect costs can be both variable and fixed.

1. Historical Cost means the cost at which Asset is Purchased ab=nd it will be recorded in books.

In given case Historical Cost of Van = OMR 40000

2. Net Realisable Value = Estimated Selling price - Estimated cost to complete such sale

NRV = OMR 30000 - OMR 2000 = OMR 28000

3. Current Cost means the cost that would be required to replace an asset in the current period

Current Cost = OMR 36000

4. Present Value of Van = OMR 90347

(Assuming 10% Discount rate)

While calculating present value , Residual value is not considered because there is no sale information at the end of sixth year
