Solution

The carrying value of the furniture can be calculated using the reducing balance method of depreciation.

Here are the steps:

  1. Determine the initial cost of the furniture. In this case, it is R17 250.

  2. Determine the annual depreciation rate. In this case, it is 10%.

  3. Apply the depreciation rate to the initial cost of the furniture to find the depreciation for the first year (from 1 August 2020 to 31 July 2021).

    Depreciation for the first year = Initial cost * Depreciation rate Depreciation for the first year = R17 250 * 10% = R1 725

  4. Subtract the first year's depreciation from the initial cost to find the carrying value at the end of the first year.

    Carrying value at end of first year = Initial cost - First year depreciation Carrying value at end of first year = R17 250 - R1 725 = R15 525

  5. For the second year (from 1 August 2021 to 28 February 2022), we need to calculate the depreciation for 7 months (August to February inclusive), not for a full year.

    Depreciation for the second year = Carrying value at end of first year * Depreciation rate * (7/12) Depreciation for the second year = R15 525 * 10% * (7/12) = R903.13

  6. Subtract the second year's depreciation from the carrying value at the end of the first year to find the carrying value at the end of the second year.

    Carrying value at end of second year = Carrying value at end of first year - Second year depreciation Carrying value at end of second year = R15 525 - R903.13 = R14 621.87

So, the closest answer to the carrying value of the new furniture for the financial year ending on 28 February 2022 is:

b. R14 619,37
