Answer
To find the carrying value of the vehicle sold, we start with the cost price and subtract the accumulated depreciation up to the date of sale.
Cost price of the vehicle: R190,000
Accumulated depreciation on 1 March 2016: R72,000
Additional depreciation for 8 months at 20% per annum on the cost:
extDepreciation=R190,000×0.20×128=R25,333.33
Total accumulated depreciation before sale:
Total Accumulated Depreciation=R72,000+R25,333.33=R97,333.33
Thus, the carrying value is:
Carrying Value=R190,000−R97,333.33=R92,666.67

Answer
For total depreciation on equipment, we need to consider both the straight-line method for the original vehicle and the diminishing-balance method:
Original Equipment:
Cost = R250,000
Accumulated depreciation (using straight-line method for period):
Depreciation=R250,000×0.10=R25,000
Vehicle:
From prior calculation: R25,333.33
Total depreciation:
Total Depreciation=R25,000+R25,333.33=R50,333.33
