Respuesta :

Answer:

d) In the following year using a half-year convention.

Explanation:

Half year convention in accounting assumes that all assets is made use of in mid year, therefore half year cost recovery is performed for assets in that year.

Half of depreciation is done during the first year and the rest is done during the final year.

In this instance since no cost was invited in the second year we can spread out the cost to the second year by using the half year convention to recognise cost.
