Solution

To calculate the initial cost of the equipment, we need to add up all the costs associated with acquiring the equipment and getting it ready for use. This includes the purchase price, freight costs, and testing costs. However, we also need to subtract any trade discounts and net disposal proceeds of samples generated during testing.

Here's how you calculate it:

  1. Start with the gross purchase price: 1,000,000
  2. Subtract the trade discount: 1,000,000 - 10,000 = 990,000
  3. Add the freight costs: 990,000 + 20,000 = 1,010,000
  4. Add the testing costs: 1,010,000 + 30,000 = 1,040,000
  5. Subtract the net disposal proceeds of samples generated during testing: 1,040,000 - 5,000 = 1,035,000

So, the initial cost of the equipment is 1,035,000.

Next, to calculate the carrying amount of the equipment on December 31, 2023, we need to calculate the depreciation for each year and subtract it from the initial cost.

Entity A uses the straight-line method of depreciation, which means the value of the equipment decreases by the same amount each year. The formula for straight-line depreciation is (Initial Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life.

  1. Calculate the annual depreciation: (1,035,000 - 200,000) / 10 = 83,500
  2. Calculate the total depreciation for 3 years (from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023): 83,500 * 3 = 250,500
  3. Subtract the total depreciation from the initial cost: 1,035,000 - 250,500 = 784,500

So, the carrying amount of the equipment on December 31, 2023, is 784,500.
