QUESTION 2 (25 marks) Blue Builders Ltd Blue Builders is a construction company that develops various types of buildings and houses. The entity has a 31 December year-end. Depreciation construction equipment After drafting the financial statements for the current year ended 31 December 2021, it was discovered that depreciation on construction equipment costing R500 000 was depreciated at 25% under the diminishing (reducing) balance method from 1 July 2020, the date that equipment was utilized for the first time. The equipment was how-ever available for use from 1 January 2020. The equipment has a residual value of zero. Installation of safety equipment New legislation was introduced during that year that required specialised safety equip-ment to be used during construction as of 1 December 2021. Any delays in the imple-mentation of the law would incur a penalty of R16 000 per month. Blue Builders im-mediately purchased the safety equipment, however the supplier of the safety equip-ment could only deliver the equipment on 1 January 2022 and thus the safety equip-ment could not be used during construction that took place in December 2021. On 7 January 2022, Blue Builders received a notice from the local authorities for the penalty being levied. Blue Builders paid the penalty and are now looking to recover it from the supplier via a claim instituted against the supplier. Blue Builders discussed the matter with their legal advisors and identified that reimbursement of the penalty amount is not certain however it was probable that the supplier would reimburse Blue Builders for the full amount of the penalty. The matter will only be confirmed in a court case to be held on 15 February 2022 after the financial statements are authorised for issue by management.
