CIMA BA3 Question Answer
A company uses the straight line method of depreciation for its plant and machinery. Depreciation is at a rate of 20% per annum.
A major item of machinery was purchased in 2003 at a cost of $240,000. At the time, it was estimated that the plant had an estimated useful life of five years and a residual value at the end of its useful life of $20,000.
As a result of rapid changes in technology it was decided to sell the machinery in 2006 for $80,000. It is the company's policy to charge a full year's depreciation in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal.
What was the profit/loss arising on the disposal of the asset?
