    Current liabilitie
    Provision for plant overhaul (note (iv)) 12,000

    None of the non-current assets have been depreciated for the current year. The freehold property should be
    depreciated at 2% on its cost of $130 million, the leased plant is depreciated at 25% per annum on a straight
    line basis and the sundry plant is depreciated at 20% on the reducing balance basis. The heavy excavating
    plant is being depreciated over 6 years on a straight line basis.
    Plant is split as follows:
    $’000
    Heavy excavating plant 40,000
    Sundry plant 70,000
    110,000

    Tintagel operates some heavy excavating plant which requires a major overhaul every three years. The
    overhaul is estimated to cost $18 million and is due to be carried out in April 20X5. The provision of $12
    million represents two annual amounts of $6 million made in the years to 31 March 20X3 and 20X4.
    This plant was purchased for $60m on 1 April 20X2 and is being depreciated over 6 years on the straight
    line basis.

    Commencing with the retained earnings figures in the above statement of financial position ($52·5 million
    and $47·5 million), prepare a schedule of adjustments required to these figures taking into account any
    adjustments required by notes

    sir can you give key word how to find there a present obligation where to provide provision or not in this case and generally also

    i am finding difficulty in finding whether to provide provision or not

    thank you in advance sir

    I assume that you’re ok with the depreciation aspect of this question

    The real issue here is the $12 million provision for the overhaul. This represents two years of the three year period between overhauls that will cost $18 million

    Such a spread out build up of provisions is not allowed (it used to be)

    There is no obligation facing Tintagel. The only time the obligation arises is when the company enters into a contract to have the overhaul carried out. Before that date, the company board may make the decision not to continue with that machinery

    Is that enough for you?
