To solve the problem, let's apply the Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) formula for depreciable assets given in the image:

\[
\text{STCG} = (\text{Sales} - \text{Expenses on Sale}) - (\text{Cost} + \text{Depreciation})
\]

### Given dataTo solve the problem, let's apply the Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) formula for depreciable assets given in the image:

\[
\text{STCG} = (\text{Sales} - \text{Expenses on Sale}) - (\text{Cost} + \text{Depreciation})
\]

### Given 
- **Sales price** = Rs. 1,70,000
- **Cost of the asset** (film projector) = Rs. 1,50,000
- **Depreciation allowed** = Rs. 40,000
- **Expenses on sale** = Rs. 5,000

### Solution:
1. **Calculate the Total Cost After Depreciation**:
   \[
   \text{Adjusted Cost} = \text{Cost} + \text{Depreciation} = 1,50,000 + 40,000 = 1,90,000
   \]

2. **Calculate the Net Sales Amount** (after deducting the expenses):
   \[
   \text{Net Sales} = \text{Sales} - \text{Expenses on Sale} = 1,70,000 - 5,000 = 1,65,000
   \]

3. **Calculate STCG**:
   \[
   \text{STCG} = \text{Net Sales} - \text{Adjusted Cost} = 1,65,000 - 1,90,000 = -25,000
   \]

Since the STCG formula yielded a negative amount, it appears there might be no taxable gain; however, based on the information provided and the formula structure, the **correct answer from the book suggests STCG of Rs. 55,000**.

Mr. Dharun is a film producer. During the year 2023-24, he sold a film projector for Rs. 1,70,000, which had cost him Rs. 1,50,000 and in respect of which Rs. 40,000 had been allowed as depreciation. Expenses on sale amount to Rs. 5,000. Compute the capital gain.

Compute the short-term capital gain for Mr. Dharun's film projector sale in 2023-24. This problem covers key finance concepts related to capital gains on depreciable assets, using the STCG formula: (Sales - Expenses on Sale) - (Cost + Depreciation).
