As part of securing the loan, government taxes of $1500 were paid.

REQUIRED

a. Provide the accounting entry for the construction of the machinery, assuming that the machinery satisfies the criteria for recognition of an asset.

b. Provide the accounting entry, assuming that in June 2022 it becomes apparent that the surfboards made by the machine appear to be unpopular with surfers and consequently will not be bought. Further, assume that a surfing historian is prepared to pay $15 000 to acquire the machine, and that this appears to be the option that provides the greatest economic benefits to Deebar Ltd. As part of the sale of the machine, Deebar is required to pay for transporting the machine to the purchaser, and the transport costs amount to $2300.

c. Provide the accounting entry, assuming that on 1 August 2022 the demand for the surfboards suddenly increases because Rick Manning, a surfing champion, won a world title event on a prototype of the surfboard. It is now expected that thousands of the board will be sold. The surfing historian had previously indicated that he no longer wished to proceed with the acquisition of the machine.
