    When d sub sold PPE to the parent half way thru d this year, the NBV of d plant was $750,000 & d transfer price was $820,000. Whilst d sub owned d plant, it was being depr on a straight line basis over its remaining estimated useful life of 7 yrs. However, on d sale to d parent, d estimate of d remaining useful life was revised to 5 yrs. The group charges full yr depr in d yr purch & none in d yr of sale?

    I calculate it as $70,000/ 5 = $14,000

    For half a year = $7,000

    So pup is $70,000 – $7,000 = $63,000

    Do you think it would be a good idea to stop this silly “d” business?

    It doesn’t take long to type “the” and you surely are not so busy that you don’t have time to be professional

    I worry because you may well start to write “d” in the exam and there goes all the professional marks

    Oh! Thank you. I got it clearer now!

    And sorry for the nauseating “d’s”

    I sure won’t write that way in the exams.
