Question
On 1 January 20X0 an asset that had a useful life of five years and a cost of 60 000. (The asset had been depreciated for two years at 90 000 with no change in its useful life. A year after the revaluation on 1 January 20X1 the asset was sold for $80 000. Under the provisions of AASB 116, the gain or loss on disposal is:
Solution 1
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the carrying value of the asset at the time of sale. Here's how:
-
On 1 January 20X0, the asset was revalued upwards to $90,000.
-
The asset continues to depreciate at 20,000.
-
Therefore, the carrying value of the asset on 1 January 20X1 would be 20,000 = $70,000.
Now, we can calculate the gain or loss on disposal:
-
The asset was sold for $80,000.
-
The carrying value of the asset at the time of sale was $70,000.
-
Therefore, the gain on disposal is 70,000 = $10,000.
Under the provisions of AASB 116, the gain on disposal is $10,000.
Solution 2
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the carrying value of the asset at the time of sale. Here's how:
-
On 1 January 20X0, the asset was revalued upwards to $90,000.
-
The asset continues to depreciate at 20,000.
-
Therefore, the carrying value of the asset on 1 January 20X1 would be 20,000 = $70,000.
Now, we can calculate the gain or loss on disposal:
-
The asset was sold for $80,000.
-
The carrying value of the asset at the time of sale was $70,000.
-
Therefore, the gain on disposal is 70,000 = $10,000.
Under the provisions of AASB 116, the gain on disposal is $10,000.
