1. Acquisition of Pizza

The Hamburger Company acquired 60% of Pizza's ordinary share capital from a third party in cash on 1 March 2021, which allows Hamburger to control Pizza. At acquisition date, Pizzas equity comprised of ordinary share capital of R500 000 and retained earnings of R765 000.

At acquisition, all the assets and liabilities of Pizza were considered to be fairly valued except for the following:

A vehicle (VW Transporter) was considered to have a fair value of R75 000 above its carrying amount. The vehicle had a remaining useful life of 5 years (from 1 March 2021) and a nil residual value. Pizza purchased the vehicle on 1 March 2020 at a cost of R500 000 and, at the time of purchase, had a useful life of 6 years and a nil residual value. The tax base of the vehicle was the same as the carrying value on acquisition date (1 March 2021) and the South African Revenue Services (SARS) allowed the deduction of the tax base over its remaining useful life (5 years) from 1 March 2021 on a straight line basis.

2. Sale of vehicle (VW Transporter)

On 1 September 2022, Pizza sold the vehicle (VW Transporter) to a third party for R420 625.

3. Disposal of machinery

On 1 December 2022, Pizza purchased a machine from an external party for R90 000 and immediately sold the machine to Hamburger for R145 000. The machine had a useful life of 10 years and a nil residual value on the date of disposal. SARS allows a deduction of the original cost (R90 000) over the machines useful life (10 years from 1 December 2022) on a straight-line basis.
