Sir , in kaplan exam kit regarding right of use plant with cost $20m and acc’ dep of $5m . The method of depr was reducing balance but
Kaplan calculate it
Costs 1.4.2008= $20m
Acc’ dep =( $5000)
25%* 20m=(5000)
Value = $10mBut I suppose it is $20m-$5m= ca $15m
Dep for the year = $15m * 25%= $3.75
Value = $11.25m
Do will have to use the original costs of the right of use plant to calculate subsequent depreciation for the year?I do not get it , because this is reducing balance method according to question.
Your authority on this is needed sir,Guild me on this.
November 28, 2017 at 5:40 pm #418715What’s the name of the question?
I’m not sure that I totally believe your accuracy in your post! Are you 100% certain that the question tells you that the reducing balance rate should apply to right-of-use assets …
… or that the reducing balance basis mentioned in the question does not relate to “other property, plant and equipment”
Please check … and still let me know the name of the question
November 28, 2017 at 9:59 pm #418750Sir , it is Pricewell and I am very sure of what I wrote sir.
November 28, 2017 at 11:31 pm #418763What does the last sentence in paragraph 3 in the note (i) Non-Current Assets say?
November 29, 2017 at 8:41 am #418802At 31 March 2009 the property was valued at $24.9 million.
Meaning leasehold property at 1April 2008 was $2%.2m .
Dep for the year = $25.2m × 1/14= $1.8
Carrying amt $23.4million with a revaluation of $1.5m
For this one I can calculate this sir and does relate to my question .I asking for right of use asset that was subsequently depreciated using initial cost after deducting the acc’ dep using reducing balance method .
November 29, 2017 at 3:41 pm #418910The last sentence of the THIRD paragraph
November 29, 2017 at 3:50 pm #418913Sir, I don’t get it please could you help my curiosity bcos I am stock here as my exams is just near .
November 29, 2017 at 4:59 pm #418927The question says that the leased plant is depreciated at 25% per annum on the straight-line basis
You have consistently failed to read the question (and my responses) carefully enough!
OK?
