What is the cost of the land, assuming all figures: (a) are GST exclusive (b) include GST at a rate of 10% (c) include GST at a rate of 15%? BE8.2 Calculate straight-line depreciation. LO4 Brianna Ltd acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $96 600 (GST exclusive) on 1 January 2019, the beginning of the company's financial year. The truck is expected to have a residual value of $4000 at the end of its 5-year useful life. Calculate annual depreciation for the first and second years using the straight-line method.
