Detailed Solution & Explanation

Under Paragraph 24 of Ind AS 116:
1. The cost of the **Right-of-Use (ROU) asset** comprises:
ROU Cost=Lease Liability+Pre-commencement payments−Incentives+Initial Direct Costs+Dismantling/Restoration Costs\displaystyle \text{ROU Cost} = \text{Lease Liability} + \displaystyle \text{Pre-commencement payments} - \text{Incentives} + \text{Initial Direct Costs} + Dismantling/Restoration Costs\displaystyle \text{Dismantling/Restoration Costs}
2. Under Appendix A, **Initial Direct Costs** are defined as incremental costs of obtaining a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained.
3. General corporate overheads, advertising, and salaries of internal legal counsel are not incremental and cannot be capitalized.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
