The following information is about transactions relating to property, plant and equipment of Achilles Ltd ("Achilles") during the year to 31 December 2018: 1. New factory premises were completed and ready for occupation on 1 June 2018. Capital expenditure in relation to the new factory premises is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position for the year ended 31 December 2017 at $1.4 million (including land of $800,000). The following costs, which also relate to the new factory premises, have been incurred during the year to 31 December 2018: $000 Additional construction costs 104 20 Professional fees (legal and architects) General and administrative overheads 55 Relocation of staff to new factory 15 2. On 1 June 2018, new machinery for a highly automated production line became available for use within the factory. Costs of the new machinery amounted to $620,000 and, in addition, the company also incurred the following: Allocated supervisory costs of $9,500. $25,000 was incurred in testing the new process. $10,000 of this was incurred in relation to putting on an 'open day' for customers to view the new machinery. Installation costs of $50,000 were incurred. These were 10% higher than originally budgeted due to an industrial dispute between the company and workers. Fees of $3,000 were paid for the cost of transporting the machinery to the factory. 3. Achilles' headquarters building was acquired on 1 January 2012 for $2.5 million and depreciated at 4% per annum. On 1 January 2016, it was revalued to $3 million. Following this revaluation, the company did not make any reserve transfers for additional depreciation. As a consequence of the recent financial downturn, professional valuers have advised that as at 31 December 2018, the building was worth $1.5 million. 4. Achilles also has a property held leased out to earn rental income. The carrying value of the property at 1 January 2018 was $2 million and during the year Achilles spent $300,000 in extending the rented floor capacity of the property. An independent valuer valued the property at $3.2 million on 31 December 2018. 5. Achilles uses the straight line method of depreciation, and depreciates buildings at 4% per annum and machinery at 20%. The company values investment properties using the fair value model.
