 at 31 December 20X1 as follows:
 $ $
 Freehold land and building – cost (Land $70,000) 120,000
 Freehold building – accumulated dep’n at 1 Jan 20X1 20,000
 Plant and equipment – cost 120,000
 Plant and equipment – accumulated dep’n at 1 Jan 20X1 15,000
 The freehold building is depreciated on a straight?line basis over its estimated useful
 life of 50 years. The plant and equipment is depreciated on a reducing balance basis
 at the rate of 15%. There were no purchases or disposals of non?current assets during
 the year.
 Calculate the depreciation charge for the year which was included as an expense
 within cost of sales.Freehold building $ 
 Plant and equipment $i got the depriciation for the freehold building 
 but in plant and equipment deprication calculated for per month basis?in answer it has deducted 95000 from 120000 i am not getting how did they get 95000. my doubt is this November 5, 2020 at 9:37 am #594132Reducing balance depreciation is not calculated on a per month basis. I have no idea where the 95,000 came from. I can only assume that it is a typing error in either the answer or (more likely) in the question. If the accumulated depreciation was actually $15,000 then the depreciation should have been calculated on 120,000 – 15,000.
