Calculate depreciation for a machine after revising useful life and residual value on June 30, 20X4.

Question

(a) On July 1, 20X2, Accra Logistics Limited acquired a machine at a cost of GH¢10 million. The useful life of the machine and its salvage value was estimated at 5 years and GH¢3.0 million, respectively. The cost of machine is being depreciated under the straight line method.

Based on the practice followed by similar types of companies, the company has determined that the remaining useful economic life of the machine is six years. It has also been established that the residual value at the end of the useful life will be equal to 10% of the cost of machine.

Required

Compute the depreciation expenses and other adjustments (if any) required to be made in the financial statements of the company for the year ended June 30, 20X4 under the following assumption:

(i) the review of useful life and residual value was carried out on June 30, 20X4.

(ii) the review of useful life and residual value was carried out on June 30, 20X3 but in the financial statements for the year then ended the depreciation expense was erroneously recorded on the previous basis.

(b) Discuss the requirements of International Accounting Standard(s) in respect of estimation and revision of useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Explain the effect of revising the useful life of a lathe on depreciation for 20X4.

Question

Moderna Solutions Limited has carried out a review of its non-current assets.
(a) A lathe was purchased 6 years ago for GH¢150,000. The plant had an estimated useful life of twelve years and a residual value of zero. Depreciation is charged on the straight line basis. On 1 January 20X4, when the asset’s carrying amount is GH¢75,000, the directors decide that the asset’s total useful life is only ten years.

Required:
Explain the effects of these changes on the depreciation for the year to 31 December 20X4.

(b) A grinder was purchased on 1 January 20X1 for GH¢100,000. The plant had an estimated useful life of ten years and a residual value of zero. Depreciation is charged on the straight line basis. On 1 January 20X4, when the asset’s carrying amount is GH¢70,000, the directors decide that it would be more appropriate to depreciate this asset using the sum of digits approach. The remaining useful life is unchanged.

Required:
Explain the effects of these changes on the depreciation for the year to 31 December 20X4.

(c) The company purchased a property some years ago for GH¢1,000,000. This was being depreciated over its life on a straight line basis. On 1 January 20X4, when the carrying amount is GH¢480,000 and twenty-four years of the useful life are remaining, the property is revalued to GH¢1,500,000. This revised value is being incorporated into the accounts.

Required:
Explain the effects of these changes on the depreciation for the year to 31 December 20X4.

Question

As a staff member of Reed and Spencer Chartered Accountants, you are assigned the audit of tangible non-current assets of Oakwood Enterprises for the year ended 31 March 20X8. Reed and Spencer have been the auditors of Oakwood Enterprises for many years. You obtain the following schedule of movements on property, plant, and equipment and analysis of additions from the company’s accountant.

	Property	Plant and machinery	Total
Cost or valuation	C’000	C’000	C’000
1 April 20X7	340	275	615
Additions	–	123	123
Disposals	–	(72)	(72)
Revaluations	120	–	120
31 March 20X8	460	326	786
Accumulated depreciation
1 April 20X7	24	213	237

31 March 20X7	455	148	603
31 March 20X8	316	62	378

Schedule of additions (plant and machinery)

Supplier	Description	Cost
New Models	Milling machine Model 38	55,000

Hoist Co	Electric hoist no 722	18,000
Sundry below $1000		16,000
Total		123,000

The company’s accountant also advises you that the property was revalued following a valuation by the company’s property manager who is a professionally qualified valuer.
During your verification of depreciation, you discover that most plant and machinery is fully depreciated. Moreover, you discover that, due to oversight, depreciation has continued to be provided on fully depreciated items. As at the beginning of the year, the amount of overstatement was $43,000. The accountant suggests the correction be made by reducing the current year’s charge for depreciation.

Required:
(a) State, with reasons, the initial audit procedures you would perform on the schedules provided by the company’s accountant. (3 marks)
(b) Outline the substantive audit procedures you would apply in verifying additions to plant and machinery. Your answer should identify procedures applicable to each of the financial statement assertions. (8 marks)
(c) Describe the audit procedures applicable to verifying the revaluation of property. (5 marks)
(d) With respect to the correction to accumulated depreciation, and assuming the amount to be material, discuss the accountant’s proposed treatment. If you disagree with the accountant’s proposal, state, with reasons, the correct accounting treatment. (4 marks)
