ABC’s property originally cost £300,000. After 10 years use it was revalued by £200,000. This building is depreciated at 2% per annum. Calculate annual depreciation charges following the revaluation.

An asset with a cost of £250,000 and no salvage value were originally depreciated on a straight-line basis for the first 7 years of its 25-year useful life, the book value of the asset at the end of year 7 would be £180,000 (£250,000 – £70,000). If the estimated useful life was revised at the end of year 7, and the asset was assumed to have a remaining useful life of 9 years, the following journal entry would be made for depreciation at the end of year 8: O a. Debit: Depreciation Expense 10,000 Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 10,000 O b. None of these C. Debit: Depreciation Expense 20,000 Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 20,00O Od. Debit: Accumulated Depreciation 20,000 Credit: Depreciation Expense 20,000

On 1 July 20X7 Brown Ltd bought a machine for GHS 48,000. The machine was depreciated at 25% per annum on a straight-line basis until 30 June 20X9.   On 1 July 20X9, the machine was revalued to GHS 30,000. Brown Ltd considers that its remaining useful life is three years.   According to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, what should be the depreciation charge for the year ended 30 June 20Y0 and the balance on the revaluation surplus as at 30 June 20Y0? (Ignore any transfer of excess depreciation.)               Depreciation charge                  Revaluation surplus A         GHS 8,000                              GHS 4,000 B          GHS 8,000                              GHS 6,000 C         GHS 10,000                             GHS 6,000 D         GHS 10,000                             GHS 4,000

You are evaluating two different devices. Equipment A costs $215,000 and is used for a period of three years, with a pre-tax operating cost of $32,000 per year. Equipment B costs $355,000 and is used for six years, with a pre-tax operating cost of $42,000 per year. Both units were depreciated to book value of 0 over the life of the unit using the linear old method of depreciation, assuming a residual value of $20,000. If your tax rate is 35%, the discount rate is 9%. Calculate the average cost of the two machines for the year. Which machine do you prefer?Why?
