Handy Men Ltd is involved in retailing, training, manufacturing as well as construction. The following information relates to Handy Men Ltd for the financial year ended 31 December 2021: 1. For a number of years Handy Men Ltd has been involved in training personnel for medium sized entities in the industry. Handymen Ltd had entered into a lease contract for computers to use for training purposes. At commencement date, the computers were determined as low value assets in accordance with paragraph 6 and B5 of IFRS 16 Leases. During the current financial year ended 31 December 2021, the gross profit of the training division amounted to N$ 5 910 000, considerably lower than what was previously budgeted. The annual rental of computers for the same year was N$ 5 920 500. The lease contract escalates at 7% per annum on 1 January each year and expires on 31 December 2024. Due to penalty clauses in the lease contract, management decided at 31 December 2021 to continue with the business, rather than to cancel the contract. The penalty for cancelling is much higher than continuing with the lease. On 31 December 2021 it was established that the same level of gross profit will be maintained for the foreseeable future. Assume that all receipts and payments are received/paid annually in arrears. 2. On 1 February 2021 the government awarded Handy Men Ltd a contract to rebuild two bridges that was destroyed in recent floods in the Windhoek district. The project will be completed on 31 July 2023.

At 30 May 2021 the bypass roads and damming of the river was completed and construction on the bridges commenced. The contract stipulates that the damming and diverting of the river must be restored at completion of the contract. Nothing is required or stipulated in the contract regarding the temporary roads.
