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=R190,000×0.20×812=R25,333.33 ext{Depreciation} = R190,000 \times 0.20 \times \frac{8}{12} = R25,333.33

  • Total accumulated depreciation before sale:

    Total Accumulated Depreciation=R72,000+R25,333.33=R97,333.33\text{Total Accumulated Depreciation} = R72,000 + R25,333.33 = R97,333.33

  • Thus, the carrying value is:

    Carrying Value=R190,000R97,333.33=R92,666.67\text{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:

  1. Original Equipment:

    • Cost = R250,000
    • Accumulated depreciation (using straight-line method for period):

    Depreciation=R250,000×0.10=R25,000\text{Depreciation} = R250,000 \times 0.10 = R25,000

  2. Vehicle:

    • From prior calculation: R25,333.33
  • Total depreciation:

    Total Depreciation=R25,000+R25,333.33=R50,333.33\text{Total Depreciation} = R25,000 + R25,333.33 = R50,333.33
