    The company’s motor vehicle haulage fleet was replaced during the year.The fleet originally cost $42 million and had been written down to $11 million at the time of its replacement. The gross cost of the fleet replacement was $180 million and a trade in allowance of $14 million was given for the old vehicles.
    Sir,why trade in allowance being recorded to the debit side of plant property and equipment while calculating cash flow ?

    I am always hanged up with the word Credited to something or anything else. Say, Government grant has been credited to operating expenses during the year. So how do i treat it when i am making a t account of govt grant?

    Open your T accounts! Imagine that we had not been allowed a trade-in of $14 million but instead we had had to pay the full $180 million

    Dr PPE 180
    Cr Cash 180

    But we didn’t have to pay $180! We only paid $166

    However, when working out the cash flow and the PPE T account, there needs to be not only the $166 on the debit side of that T account. There needs also to be the “missing” $14

    Does that answer you?

    If you struggle with “credited” try thinking of it as the “other side” of something that is debited

    When we received the government grant, we debited the Cash Account so the other side is credited to the Government Grant Account

    I found, as a student, that working out double entry was easiest by “playing” with it! Dr Pan, Cr Food packet; Dr Plate, Cr Pan; Dr Mouth, Cr Plate; Dr Stomach, Cr Mouth; and so on …….

    If you find that you’re still struggling, go back and check out John’s lectures on the F3 videos

    The following information is relevant: 1. Tangible non-current assets: (i) Land was revalued, giving a surplus of £170 million during the period. (ii) The company’s motor vehicle haulage fleet was replaced during the year. The fleet originally cost £42 million and had been written down to £11 million at the date of its replacement. The gross cost of the fleet replacement was £180 million and a trade-in allowance of £14 million was given for the old vehicles. (iii) The company acquired some new plant on 1 July 2019 at a cost of £120 million. This was paid for in full, on that date, by using some of the £200 million loan that had just been taken out. 2. Environmental Provision: The provision represents an estimate of the cost of environmental improvements relating to the company’s mining activities. 3. Equity share issues: During the year, Chelsea made a bonus issue from the share premium reserve of one share for every ten shares held. Later in the year, Chelsea made a further share issue, at a premium, for cash. 4. Dividends: During the year, Chelsea paid the preference dividend due, the final dividend from 2019 of £180m and an interim dividend for 2020 of £40m. Required: A cash flow statement for Chelsea for the year to 31 March 2020 prepared in accordance with IAS 7 Cash Flow Statements.

    Hi,

    This service is not an instant messaging system, I check the forum twice a week, usually on Wednesday and at the weekend.

    What is the question that you are finding difficult? Don’t worry about it too much as cash flow isn’t a regular theme in the exam.

    Thanks
