Wait, so the Finance Director is basically testing us on our ability to differentiate between capital and revenue expenditures? Sounds like a real *asset* of a question!

E is just plain wrong. The loss on disposal is not recorded in a liability account, that's ridiculous!

B is a strange one. Why would the cost of insurance be debited to the PPE account? That doesn't make any sense.

A, C, and F are correct. The depreciation charge and loss on disposal reduce profit, and depreciation reduces the carrying value of PPE.
