Hi,
Regarding the question 24 from the study text (copied below), I do not understand why the depreciation in the P&L is different from the one in the statement of financial position.
I know that in many cases they are different, but in this particular case, I do not get it.
Thanks.
Diana

Bulwell Aggregates Co entered into a three-year contract to obtain three lorries on 1 January 20X1. The
contract met the IFRS 16 criteria to be classified as a lease and the initial measurement of the right-of-use
asset was $54,000. The agreement states that Bulwell Aggregates will pay a deposit of $9,000 on
1 January 20X1, and two annual instalments of $24,000 on 31 December 20X1, 20X2 and a final
instalment of $20,391 on 31 December 20X3. Ownership will pass to Bulwell at the end of the lease term.
Interest is to be calculated at 25% on the balance outstanding on 1 January each year and paid on
31 December each year.
The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the
lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method.
Required

8y ago#1You appear to have missed off some small piece of critical information from your post! When I search on the internet for "F7 question Bulwell" the sentence that you have posted ... "The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method." ... has a little bit more to it!
Here's the full sentence including the bit that you omitted what you missed off:
"The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method.
"and assuming a scrap value of $1,333 for each vehicle at the end of its useful life"
So that explains why the company's depreciation aggregates only $50,000 with a $4,000 residual scrap value
However, I am stuck with the same issue as you - why is the depreciation in the statement of profit or loss $13,500 per annum whereas the depreciation deduction to arrive at the carrying value is only $12,500
I can only assume that BPP has incorrectly omitted to consider the $4,000 residual value when typing the depreciation expense in the statement of financial position
OK?
