Depreciation Expense Calculation

This document explains the formula to calculate depreciation expense for an asset based on its remaining useful life and depreciable cost. It also provides an example and journal entries related to depreciation.

Answer 1.
Depreciation expense = Remaining useful life of the asset /Sum of the years digits *Depreciable

Answer 2. Journal entry required to reflect the revaluation of the asset
The carrying amount asset as on 1 July 2015 = Cost - accumulated depreciation = $100000 -
$20000
Revalued $120000
i) Calculation of revaluation reserve
Cost of asset = $ 100000
Accumulated Depreciation= $ 20000
Net value of asset as on 1st July, 15 = $80000
ii) New value of asset ( after revaluation) = $120000
Revaluation reserve= ii-i
= $120000-$80000
= $40000

1 July 2015 Fixed Asset $40,000
Revaluation reserve $40,000
30 June 2016 Depreciation Expense $15000
Accumulated Depreciation $15000
( Being depreciation charged for the
year)
Answer 3.
a) Yes, goodwill has been acquired by Tamarama Ltd. Calculation of goodwill is as below:
i) Fair value of assets transferred:-
Cash = $70000

Fair value of land= $300000
Fair value of Plant and machinery = $250000
Total fair value of asset transferred= $70000+$300000+$250000
=$620000
ii) Amount of any non-controlling interest = Nil
iii) Fair value of equity interest = Nil
iv) Fair value of net asset (Bronte ltd.)
Asset - $700000
Liabilities- $300000
Net assets= $400000
Goodwill = $620000+0+0-$400000
= $180000
b) As per IFRS 3, subsequent upward revaluation of goodwill is not allowed by takeover
company.
Answer 4.
a) Present value of minimum lease
PV = SUM[P/(1+r)n] + [RV/(1+r)n]
Where PV = Present Value
P = Annual Lease Payments
$10000
0
r = Interest rate 6%
n = number of years in the lease term 8
RV = residual value $80000
SUM[P/(1+r)n] = the total amount paid over the lease term, discounted for the
interest rate.
Cash 1+r Period (1+r)n
Net present

$100000 1.06 1 1.06 $94339.62
$100000 1.06 2 1.1236 $88999.64
$100000 1.06 3 1.191016 $83961.92
$100000 1.06 4 1.262477 $79209.36
$100000 1.06 5 1.338226 $74725.81
$100000 1.06 6 1.418519 $70496.05

$100000 1.06 7 1.50363 $66505.71
$100000 1.06 8 1.593848 $62741.23
$80000 1.06 8 1.593848 $50192.98
Sum $671172.37
Total present value = $671172.38
b)

2016 $611442 100000 $36687 $63313 $548129
2017 $548129 100000 $32888 $67112 $481017
2018 $481017 100000 $28861 $71139 $409878
2019 $409878 100000 $24593 $75407 $334470
2020 $334470 100000 $20068 $79932 $254538
2021 $254538 100000 $15272 $84728 $169811
2022 $169811 100000 $10189 $89811 $80000
While calculating the residual value, 6% implicit interest rate has been taken to calculate the
value.
