Question
Samoosse Traders (registered for VAT) is a newly founded business trading in safety products and equipment. The accounting policies of Samoosse Traders is as follows:1. The perpetual inventory system is applied2. Vehicles is depreciated over 6 years using the reducing balance method3. Furniture is depreciated at 10% per annum using the straight-line methodOn 1 August 2020, Samoosse Traders purchased new office furniture to the amount of R17 250 (VAT inclusive at 15%).What will the accumulated depreciation on the new furniture be for the financial year ending on 28 February 2022?Select one:a.R3 450,00b.R2 731,25c.R3 000,00d.R2 375,00
Solution
To calculate the accumulated depreciation, we first need to find the cost of the furniture excluding VAT.
The cost of the furniture including VAT is R17,250. To find the cost excluding VAT, we divide the total cost by 1.15 (since VAT is 15%).
R17,250 ÷ 1.15 = R15,000
The depreciation rate is 10% per annum using the straight-line method. This means that the same amount will be depreciated each year.
To find the annual depreciation, we multiply the cost of the furniture by the depreciation rate:
R15,000 x 10% = R1,500 per year
The financial year from 1 August 2020 to 28 February 2022 is 1 year and 7 months. However, since depreciation is calculated annually, we only count full years. Therefore, the accumulated depreciation for this period is:
R1,500 x 1 year = R1,500
So, the correct answer is not listed among the options. The accumulated depreciation on the new furniture for the financial year ending on 28 February 2022 should be R1,500.
