Group of answer choices

All of the $350,000 will be assessable and the pool will be continued to be depreciated at the rate of 30%.

The balance of the pool will be reduced by $350,000 and the negative amount will be included in the assessable income as there are no balancing adjustments for a pool as the assets lose their identity in the pool.
