(4) The accounting depreciation of $2,350,000 is based on the directors estimating the effective life of all assets being 5 years. Bruce advises you that for taxation purposes the following information is applicable:
Tasmania Concrete Supplies Pty Ltds records show that on 1 July 2019 the opening balance of the low value and low-cost pool of assets was $80,000. During the year ended 30 June 2020 the company purchased a number of low cost assets for $18,000 at various times during the year which Bruce wishes to be pooled. The reason why all of the older depreciating assets are in the low value pool is that they are all more than10 years old and need replacing. During the financial year the company purchased the following assets: 10 new motor vehicles at a cost of $500,750 on 1 July 2016. The estimated life is 6 years. The vehicles are used 100% for business and all cost less than $55,000. A new computer system for the company a cost of $70,500 on 1 July 2016. The estimated life is 4 years. 25 large trucks to deliver the concrete products at a cost of $6,400,000 on 1 July 2019. The effective life of the trucks is 5 years. (5) The provision for bad debts was based on the Directors estimate given the current economic conditions. During the financial year in fact no debts had been written off as bad debts. (6) The repairs of $230,000 consisted of painting the company premises for $100,000 and replacing the old rotting wooden office window frames with new steel window frames for $130,000. The painting was to the west wall which got the afternoon sun and had not been painted for seven years. The existing paint was peeling and needed to be done before the timber also started to rot. The cost of replacing the old wooden office window frames with new wooden window frames would have been $81,000. The new steel window frames had the advantage of not being subject to rotting but had the disadvantage, unlike the old wooden frames, of being subject to rust. The new steel window frames were installed on 1 July 2019 and have an estimated life of 25 years.
