Calculate the amount at which the initial cost of the plant should be measured. (Ignore discounting). Solution:
The initial measurement of the cost at which the plant would be capitalized is calculated as follows:
$ $
Basic list price of plant 240000
Less trade discount (240000 x 12.5%) (30000)
210000
Shipping and handling costs 2750
Estimated pre-production testing 12500
Site preparation costs
Electrical cable installation ($14000 - $6000) 8000
Concrete reinforcement 4500
Own labor costs 7500 20000
Dismantling and restoration costs
($15000 + $3000) 18000
Initial cost of plant 263250
Question 3
On 1 October 2001 Dawes purchased a 25-year lease on a new industrial storage building for $4 million. Prior to the current year this property was being amortized over its life. The directors are questioning the necessity for this as a 20-year lease on an almost identical building was sold on 1 October 2006 by the builders for $6 million. With effect from the same date (1 October 2006) the directors wish to value the lease at $6 million and cease depreciating it.
N.B.
The regulatory requirements applicable to Dawes permit revaluation of non-current assets in accordance wit the revaluation model in IAS16 Property, Plant and Equipment.
