Activity 2: Background Information
Membina Limited (Membina) is a large, Melbourne-based construction company that specialises in
high-rise developments.
One of the assets that support Membina's high-rise construction activities is a tower crane, which is
used to lift heavy equipment and materials to great heights. Membina's heavy machinery is
measured under the revaluation model in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.
The tower crane was originally purchased on 1 July 2021 for $450,000. It is being depreciated on a
straight-line basis over its useful life of 15 years, after which time the residual value will be zero.
The value of tower cranes is not highly volatile, and Membina performs revaluations every three
years. This is the first revaluation for Membina's tower crane. Membina has the following
information about the three main second-hand markets available:
Number of tower cranes sold (annually)
Average number of sales per month
Selling price for 3-year-old tower crane at 30 June 2024
Sales commission (as a % of selling price) at 30 June 2024
Delivery costs by truck at 30 June 2024

Additional information
- The location of the tower crane in Melbourne is considered a characteristic of the asset.
In the past, Membina has sold its tower cranes in the Melbourne market as they are easier to
sell locally. However, Membina can sell in any of the three markets (Brisbane, Melbourne or
Sydney).
The tax rate is 30%.
