Sir could you help me with this?
at 31 october 2013 a business had machines with a cost of 120000 with accumulated depreciation of 25000.
on 1 january 2014 they sold a machine for 10000. this machine had originally cost 30000 on 1 april 2012.
the business had depn policy of charging straight-line depn at the rate of 20% per annum, on a monthly basis.
what is the depn expense for the year ended 31 october 2014?THANK YOU!
June 10, 2015 at 2:45 pm #256022and one more detail:
1)when parent sells to subsidiary Co. then Retained earnings should be deducted by full amount of Goods left in inventory=unrealised profit
when subsidiary sells to parent Co. then Retained earnings should be deducted by % of Parent’s share capital in this Co. Right sir?
2)In Consolidated Sopl we add to COS inventory left
In Consolidated Sofp we deduct from inventory
3)We eliminate all the TR and TP
right sir?June 10, 2015 at 4:24 pm #256081First question:
There is more than one way of getting the same answer, but here is one way:
From 1 November 2013 to 31 December 2013 (2 months) the cost of the machines was 120,000. So the depreciation for that period is 2/12 x 20% x 120,000 = 2,000
They then sold a machine that cost 30,000, so the cost of machines fell to 90,000 for the rest of the year (10 months). So the depreciation for that period is 10/12 x 20% x 90,000 = 15,000.
So the total depreciation is 17,000
June 10, 2015 at 4:27 pm #256087Second question:
You might mean the right thing, but you have written it in a strange way.
1) You calculate the unrealised profit in the closing inventory.
2) In the consolidated SOPL you add the unrealised profit to the cost of goods sold
3) In the Statement of financial position you subtract the unrealised profit from the total inventories
4) For the SOFP you subtract the unrealised profit from the retained earnings of whichever company sold the goods originally to the other company
5) In the SOPL you reduce sales and purchases by the total of everything sold from one company to the other during the year.June 10, 2015 at 6:02 pm #256142first question:
Sir, but in the mock test it says that correct answer is 19000.
and I dont understand the logic of what your doing…(June 10, 2015 at 6:08 pm #256144oh it is straight line method so we looking at COSTS not NBVs, yes? thats why we deducting full 30000?
THank you! You have just computed it slightly different it should be 4000 (2/12*20%*120000), yes?
THank you, sir! my exam is tomorrow. I’ll tell you the result soon! 🙂June 11, 2015 at 7:38 am #256260Yes – it is because it is straight-line method.
Sorry about the arithmetic mistake and I hope the exam goes well.
June 11, 2015 at 2:43 pm #256393I’ve got 84 sir.;( 1 mark wasn’t enough for achievement..feeling so mixed: regretting and relaxing…

June 12, 2015 at 4:11 pm #256620It depends who gets the highest mark – but that won’t open until 1 August.
