Dismantling the machine at its current location $400
Transportation to the ice cream’s factory $350
Machine refurbishment costs prior to re-installation $175
Re-installation $125
Under IAS 16, the total included in non-current assets in respect of the machine should be ?
All the costs should be included right. Therefore, it gives $9050.
The machine refurbishment costs is included because its a second-hand machine right? If it was a new machine, it would not have been included right sir?
“All the costs should be included right”
Correct
“If it was a new machine, it would not have been included”
If it had been a new machine, it wouldn’t have needed the refurbishment!
