Question
An entity purchased property for 1 million. The expected life of the building was 50 years and its residual value nil. On30 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 ofprofit or loss for the year to 30 June 20X7?A Gain 200,000C Gain 1,240,000
Solution
To calculate the gain on disposal of the property, we first need to determine the carrying amount of the property at the time of sale.
-
The property was purchased for 1 million and the building at $5 million.
-
The building was expected to have a useful life of 50 years with no residual value, so the annual depreciation would be 100,000.
-
By 30 June 20X5, two years of depreciation would have been charged, reducing the carrying amount of the building to 100,000 = $4.8 million.
-
On 30 June 20X5, the property was revalued to 1.24 million and the buildings at $5.76 million. This would be the new carrying amount of the property.
-
By 30 June 20X7, another two years of depreciation would have been charged on the revalued amount of the building. The annual depreciation would now be 120,000 (since 2 years have already passed from the 50 years life of the building). So, the carrying amount of the building would be 120,000 = $5.52 million.
-
The carrying amount of the property at the time of sale would be the carrying amount of the land (5.52 million) = $6.76 million.
-
The property was sold for $6.8 million.
-
The gain on disposal of the property would be the selling price minus the carrying amount = 6.76 million = $40,000.
So, the answer is A. Gain $40,000.
