Question:
On 1 January 2014, Martini Ltd bought a machine for $109000 cash; its useful life was 12 years and its residual value was $13 000. It was decided to depreciate the machine by the straight-line method. On 30 September 2016, the machine was traded in to Lowe Ltd for a new model, the total cost being $80000. Lowe Ltd allowed $60000 for the old machine. It was decided to depreciate the new machine at the rate of 10% p.a. by the diminishing-balance method. Residual value of the new machine was $7000.
On 1 July 2017, Martini Ltd decided to adopt the revaluation model and revalue its machine upwards to reflect fair values. This represented a 15% increase in the carrying amount of themachine. The diminishing-balance method of depreciation was continued at the same rate. The accounting period ended on 30 June each year. At 30 June 2018, the carrying amount of the machine was approximately equal to fair value.
