At a meeting of the board of directors on 01 May 2021 the following took place based on the management accounts produced: Based on the performance of the company for the year so far and the forecasts of the profits for the remainder of the year, the directors declared a dividend of 32 cents per share. This dividend was paid on the 29 June 2021. Due to technological developments in the printing industry it was decided that the depreciation of manufacturing equipment acquired on 1 October 2018 for R1 437 500 (incl. 15% VAT) should be accelerated by reducing the useful life of the asset from 5 years to 4 years. Depreciation for the current reporting period had already been accounted for The financial director noticed that a printer Model XC 115 that was purchased by the company on 1 July 2019 for R304 750 (incl. 15% VAT) did not appear in the asset register for the year ended 2020. On further investigation it was found that the printer was accidentally recognised as inventory. To rectify this, the financial accountant included the printer in the asset register for the current year and depreciated it accordingly.
