    sir,
    this is brief extract of financial statement from one of the question in kaplan
    2006 2005
    Non-current assets 1,048 750
    Accumulated depreciation (190) (120)
    ––––– –––––
    858 630
    ––––– –––––
    Revaluation surplus 212 120
    revaluation earnings 283 226

    Operating expenses include a loss on disposal of non-current assets of $5,000.

    During the year and item of plant was disposed of. The plant originally cost $80,000 and had accumulated depreciation to the date of disposal of $15,000.

    Identify and calculate the cash outflow to purchase property, plant and equipment and the proceeds from the sale of equipment to be shown under the heading ‘Cash flows from investing activities’ within Geronimo’s statement of cash flows.

    Solution PPE cost
    _________________________________________________________________
    $000 $000
    Balance b/f 750
    Additions (= Cash to purchase PPE)178 Disposals 80
    Revaluation (212 – 12) 200 Balance c/f 1,048
    –––––– ––––––
    1,128 1,128
    –––––– ––––––

    Disposals
    $000 $000
    Cost 80 Accumulated
    depreciation 15
    Loss on disposal 5
    Proceeds (ß) 60
    ––––– –––––
    80 80

    Sir,
    Can you please tell why did they not add current year’s depreciation(70000) on credit side of non-current assets T account while calculating cash to purchase assets and you said in lecture that net value of disposed assets should be take which is 65000 in this case but they have taken 80000

    As per my understanding should it notbe as below

    ________________________________

    balance b/f 750000 Disposals (80000-15000)= 65000
    Acquisitions 233000 Depriciation of the year 70000
    rev, surplus 200000 Balance 1048000
    ___________ _________________

    1183000 1183000
    ___________ _________________

    balanceb/f 1048000

    n the example in my lecture you were given the net book value of the assets (not the cost and accumulated depreciation separately).

    In this question you are given the cost and accumulated depreciation separately, and so you need to deal with each of the two accounts separately.

    It will help you to have watched the lectures on depreciation.
