Detailed Solution & Explanation

To calculate the carrying amount of investment as on 31st March, 2024 as per AS 13:
1. Nominal Value of investment = 9,000 shares×10=90,000\displaystyle 9,000 \text{ shares} \times `\,10 = `\,90,000.
2. Cost of Investment = 1,00,000\displaystyle `\,1,00,000.
3. Dividend received @ 20% on nominal value = 90,000×20%=18,000\displaystyle `\,90,000 \times 20\% = `\,18,000.
4. Since the shares were acquired on 25th March, 2024 (just before dividend declaration), the dividend is pre-acquisition.
5. Pre-acquisition dividends are regarded as recovery of cost and deducted from the cost of investment:
Carrying Amount=1,00,00018,00,0=82,000\text{Carrying Amount} = `\,1,00,000 - `\,18,00,0 = `\,82,000
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
