Other information:

The plant was available for use in production on 1 February 2012, although production only began on 1 March 2012.

The plant was temporarily idle during December 2012 when the factory closed down for its annual holiday period.

The company uses the straight-line method when depreciating its bottling plant (not apportioned for part of a month).

All ‘other costs’ are incurred evenly across the three significant components of the bottling plant (i.e. where appropriate, a third of the cost is allocated to each component).

The only other asset owned by Ancient Waters Limited is land used for parking purposes, which was purchased on 5 December 2010 for R4 000 000. The land is not depreciated.

All costs incurred were paid for in cash.

Required:

a) Show all related journal entries relating to the bottling plant for the year ended 31 December 2012 and 2013. Round to the nearest Rand. Ignore tax.
