Explanation

All expenditures incurred to bring an asset to its working condition should be capitalized to the asset account. This includes purchase price (Rs. 1,00,000) + repair costs (Rs. 10,000) + registration expenses (Rs. 5,000) + dealer's commission (Rs. 10,200) = Rs. 1,25,200. All these are necessary to make the car usable and therefore form part of the car's cost.
