    Option "B" is the correct answer to the following question

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Fair value of plant = $100 million

    Book value of plant = $60 million

    Estimated life = 20 year

    Computation of gain on revaluation:

    Gain on revaluation = Fair value of plant - Book value of plant

    Gain on revaluation = $100 million - $60 million

    Gain on revaluation = $40 million

    Computation of per year extra wright off:

    Per year extra wright off = $40 million / 20 year

    Per year extra wright off = $2 million per year

    Two-year elimination amount is 2-year * Per year extra wright off

    Two-year elimination amount is $4 million

    Opening balance of third-year amortization is $40 million - $4 million = $36 million

    So, the amount of eliminating entry is $36 million and write off the value of $2 million
