  2. Prepare the journal entries to correct any errors made by Splash Out The Back, and to record transactions that have not yet been entered into the business accounting records. (Note: The correction of any errors relating to deposits (other than interest revenue) should be made to the Sales account, and the correction of any errors relating to payments should be made to the appropriate expense or asset account).

    Question 3 [10 marks]

    This question continues on from questions 1 and 2 above.

    Splash Out The Back purchased a delivery vehicle for the business on 1 April 2020 for $27,000, paid from the business bank account. The delivery vehicle is expected to have a useful life of 8 years (or 300,000 kms), and a residual value of $3,000.

    On 30 June 2022, the business sold the delivery vehicle for $22,000.

    For the purposes of this activity:

  4. assume that the business has a year-end of 30 June.
  5. ignore any GST.
  6. Required:

  7. Assume that the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Calculate the depreciation expense for each financial year (up to 30 June 2022), and calculate the gain/(loss) on disposal. Prepare journal entries to account for the acquisition of the delivery vehicle, depreciation expense for each financial year, and the sale of the delivery vehicle on 30 June 2022. Include dates and brief narrations for each journal entry. (5 marks)
  8. Now assume that the company uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Prepare a depreciation schedule for the delivery vehicle (up to 30 June 2022), assuming that the delivery vehicle was used for: 6,000 kms during the year ended 30 June 2020, 40,000 kms during the year ended 30 June 2021, 45,000 kms during the year ended 30 June 2022. Show workings. (2.5 marks)
