Solution

To prepare the motor vehicles provision for depreciation account and the disposal account, follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the opening balance of the motor vehicles. This is the cost of the motor vehicles (180,000)minustheprovisionfordepreciation(180,000) minus the provision for depreciation (105,000). So, the opening balance is $75,000.

Step 2: Add the cost of the new motor vehicle acquired during the year (50,000)totheopeningbalance.Thetotalisnow50,000) to the opening balance. The total is now 125,000.

Step 3: Subtract the cost of the motor vehicle sold (40,000)fromthetotal.Thebalanceisnow40,000) from the total. The balance is now 85,000.

Step 4: Calculate the depreciation for the year. The company policy is to depreciate motor vehicles at 25% per annum using the reducing balance method. So, the depreciation for the year is 25% of 85,000,whichis85,000, which is 21,250.

Step 5: Subtract the depreciation for the year from the balance. The closing balance of the motor vehicles provision for depreciation account is $63,750.

For the disposal account:

Step 1: Record the cost of the motor vehicle sold ($40,000) as a debit.

Step 2: Record the accumulated depreciation on the motor vehicle sold ($17,500) as a credit.

Step 3: Record the proceeds from the sale of the motor vehicle ($16,500) as a credit.

Step 4: The balance of the disposal account is the difference between the debit and the credit. In this case, it's $6,000 debit (loss on disposal).
