Derringdo invested in a new server at a gross cost of $800,000 on 1 October 20X2. The server has an estimated life of ten years with a residual value equal to 15% of its gross cost. Derringdo uses straight-line depreciation on a time apportioned basis. The company received a government grant of 30% of its cost price of the server at the time of purchase.
