Hello,

Has anyone out there got this book that could help me understand how the answers are worked out for the depreciation of Motor Vehicles?

I have checked the model answers on page 275-276 and I can't work out how the figures were calculated in both the balance sheets and P&L.

Thanks

Hi

I am studying for Level 3 and I had a look at that paper (I have the ninth edition but the paper is still the level 3- June 2007). This is my interpretation …

 On the TB- the depreciation for the year is not registered yet, so the motor vehicles look like this:

Cost= 60,000:

- made of       -A-   10,000(the one that is going to be sold)

                        -B- +50,000(one or more vehicles)

 

Depreciation =10,000

- made of 3,400 for -A- the one that you sell (10,000-6,400)

               +6,400 for -B- the 50,000

 

NBV = 50,000

- made of  6,400 for -A-  -the 6,400 NBV is given to you at the point when you sell it

               +43,600 for -B-

At the end of the year 31 Dec 2006 you register the depreciation in full

 

So the BS is going to be:

Cost:  =50,000 representing vehicle -B-

            You don’t have the -A- vehicle -is sold

 

Depreciation:

-for -B- is going to be  15,120= 6,400+ 8,720    [as 20% x (50,000-6,400) ]

 

NBV=  50,000-15,120= 34,880

 

Hope it makes sense….let me know

Good luck with your studies
