The following information has been extracted from Triage Co’s Trial Balance:
P&E Cost $72,100 $44,000
P&E, Accumulated Dep $28,100 $27,350 $6,600Included within the cost is an item of equipment that was purchased for $10,000 on 30 September 20X5
Traige’s notes to financial statements reveal that depreciation is charged at 15% per annum on a reducing balance basis, time apportioned in the years of acquisition and disposal
In accordance with IAS 16 PPE, what is the dep charged to traige co’s statement of PL in respect of the P&E for the year ended 31 Mar 20X6
Soln:
Plant: 72100-10000=$62100
Dep of Equip=10000*6/12*15%=$750
Acc Dep of Plant only=28100-750=$27350
So Op bal of Plant=62100-27350=$34750
Dep Of Plant=34750*15%=5212.5
Total Dep=750+5212.5=$5962.50solution in open tuition is total dep $5850

The answer is the 5,850 that is given in the solutions to the question. I have no idea where you have found the solution that gives 5,962.50 as that is incorrect.
Thanks

March 25, 2019 at 9:39 am #510362Yes, I have looked. That is why I’m asking you where is the mistake in my calculation or in the calculation made by open tuition.
March 25, 2019 at 10:08 pm #510430There is no mistake in the calculation provided by, so you need to compare what you’ve done to the solution given and work out what you’ve done differently. Once you’v done this then you can specifically ask about a particular part that you do not understand.
