Additional information: 1. Office building

Debit/(Credit) R

(2 700 000) 960 000

(10 257 000) 600 000 120 000 180 000

(300 000) (2 471 700)

(1 200 000)

Techno Care Ltd owns an office building in Sandton, which was acquired on 1 March 2015, at a cost of R2 750 000 (Land: R750 000; Building: R 2 000 000). The property was available for use, as intended by management, on acquisition date. The useful life of the building was estimated to be 20 years and a residual value of R 100 000 was allocated to the building upon initial recognition. Both the useful life and residual value of the building remained unchanged.

Techno Care Ltd adopted a policy to revalue its owner-occupied land. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the fair value at year-end. On 1 March 2020, Mr J Bless, an independent sworn appraiser revalued the property for the first time and determined the fair value of the land to be R875 000.

The inexperienced accountant of Techno Care Ltd, Mr Heed, did not account for the revaluation for the current year. He has also not taken the residual value into account when allocating the depreciation to the buildings.

  1. Long-term loan

    Techno Care Ltd entered into an unsecured long-term loan agreement on 31 August 2018. The loan is repayable in six equal annual instalments commencing on 31 August 2019. The nominal interest rate is 15% per annum. Interest for the current year must still be provided for in the accounting records of Techno Care Ltd and it is payable on 5 March 2021.

  2. Investments

    Included in investments at year-end on 28 February 2021 is the following investment:

    Techno Care Ltd acquired 4 500 shares at R80 each in a listed company, Impact Ltd. The shares are not held for trading but were acquired with a long-term view. The directors of Techno Care Ltd irrevocably elected at initial recognition to classify this investment as at fair value through other comprehensive income. The market value of the shares on the JSE Ltd at year-end on 28 February 2021 amounted to R380 000. The increase in the market value of this investment has erroneously been recorded as though they were shares held for trading and has not yet been corrected.
