Question
An entity purchased property for 1 million. The expected life of the building was 50 years and its residual value nil. On 30 June 20X5 the property was revalued to 1.24 million and the buildings 6.8 million. What is the gain on disposal of the property that would be reported in the statement of profit or loss for the year to 30 June 20X7? A Gain 200,000 C Gain 1,240,000
Solution
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the property, we need to subtract the carrying amount of the property at the time of sale from the sale price.
The carrying amount of the property at the time of sale is its revalued amount. According to the information given, the property was revalued to $7 million on 30 June 20X5. This revalued amount is the carrying amount of the property at the time of sale.
The sale price of the property is given as $6.8 million.
So, the gain or loss on disposal of the property is calculated as follows:
Gain or Loss on disposal = Sale price - Carrying amount = 7 million = -$0.2 million
Therefore, the entity has a loss of 200,000.
