    5. A printing business is thinking of updating their equipment. They are current valued in the balance sheet on the 31/12/14 as follow at cost of £486,000, with a provision for depreciation of £222,000

    During the year they buy 2 new printing machines

    1st May 2015 Machine 1 costing £225,000
    1st September 2015 Machine 2 – costs £125,000

    They are to replace
    A photocopier which originally cost £40,000 and had a provision for depreciation of £37,000 which was sold for £5000
    An old printing machine – which cost £95,000 had a provision for depreciation of £85, 000 and was sold for scrap at £1,000

    The company operates a depreciation policy of 20% reducing balance method and depreciate all assets in the first year of purchase and non in the year of sale.

    Machinery at Cost account

    That is not an AB/F1/FAB question.

    Please use the correct forum – eg FA/F3 – where the tutor will be happy to assist.
