Hi, i have done q2 page 195, part of the mini excerises in the OT notes, but dont quite understand the answer. can u help me.. The Question is S sold PPE to H for 65,000. Cost is 100,000 when new 4 yrs ago and useful life of 9 yrs had not changed. est scrap proceeds is 10,000 revised on transfer to H to 20,000. i get that the excess pup is 5,000, but i dont get how excess dep’n of 1,000 was arrived at? can you please explain
Salman is correct. The excess depreciation is based on the pup of 5,000. This is to be written off over five years so 5,000 / 5 is the 1,000 excess depreciation.
