Chapter 5: Non-current assets

Government grants: deferred income and netting off

Grants and depreciable assets. Tweddle bought an item of property, plant and equipment for $10 million and received a government grant of $2 million. The PPE has a useful life of 10 years and has no residual value. Tweddle has met the conditions attached to the grant.

Government grants. XRT acquired plant costing $3m on 1 January 20X3, funded in part by a government grant of $1m. The plant has a useful life of 10 years. XRT's year end is 31 December.

Work in $000 (for example, $3m is 3,000).
