ANSWERS
Question 1 (allow 22 minutes) (11 marks)
(a) (2 marks) Cost of the van 50,000 Installation of cruise control 1,200 Installation of rear parking sensors 800 Painting of corporate brand and logos 4,800 Installation of heavy duty suspension and towing kit 1,800 58,600
(b) (2 marks)
Vehicle registration fee $850 the registration fee is an annual payment to the state government (a tax or levy) and does not provide benefits beyond 12 months
Vehicle insurance $750 assuming the insurance policy is for 12 months it would also be expensed as it does not provide benefits beyond 12 months. ALTERNATIVELY if the policy was for greater than 12 months it would be considered a Prepaid Insurance asset; it would still not form part of the cost of the motor vehicle.
Additional information (not required as part of answer). Registration fees and annual insurance premiums are normally expensed at the time of payment even though the payment might be made mid- year (deferring and adjusting at year end would make little difference to the expense recognised each year beyond the first year and so it is not considered to make a material difference to the expenses reported in the P&L). Prepaid insurance would be allocated over the life of the insurance policy. If such amounts could be capitalised it would mean they would be included in the depreciation expense over the life of the van.
(c)(ii) Reducing balance method (3 marks) Calculation of depreciation rate: 5,000 / 58,600 = 0.085324 n = 10; 1/10 =0.1 0.085324 Y 0.1 = 0.78182 1 0.78182 = 21.82%
Calculation of depreciation expense: 58,600 x 21.82% x 9 / 12 = $9,589.89
(c)(iii) Units-of-production method (2 marks) Calculation of depreciation rate per km: (58,600 5,000) / 500,000 = 0.1072/km

Calculation of depreciation rate: 50,000 / 220,000 = 0.227273 n = 5; 1/5 =0.2 0.227273 Y 0.2 = 0.743548 1 0.743548 = 25.65%
Calculation of accumulated depreciation: Year $ 1 $220,000 x 25.65% = 56,430 2 ($220,000 $56,430) x 25.65% = 41,956 3 ($220,000 $98,386) x 25.65% = 31,194 Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3 $129,580
Calculate gain or loss on disposal: Proceeds (fair value of the truck at disposal) 80,000 Less book value Original Cost
220,000
Less Accumulated Depreciation 129,580 90,420 LOSS ON DISPOSAL (10,420)
Alternative method of calculation:
Step 1: Determine book value at end of year three: 1 0.2565 = 0.7435 220,000 x 0.7435 x 0.7435 x 0.7435 = $90,420
Step 2: Calculate gain or loss on disposal: 80,000 90,420 = (10,420)
Record the journal entry:
1 JAN 09 DR Machinery 80,000 DR Loss on disposal of truck 10,420 DR Accumulated depreciation truck 129,580 CR Motor Vehicles truck 220,000
NOTE: in the marking scheme for this question the journal entry at the end is worth only 2 marks. The remaining marks are for the various calculations. It is essential that you show ALL of your workings so the marker can award part-marks. DO NOT process everything on your calculator and then write out the journal entry you only need to make one data entry error to get the values wrong. Without workings the marker cannot award part-marks.

(c) Assume that BBL had used the reducing balance method for its motor vehicle assets from the date of acquisition. Discuss the impact this would have had on the amounts reported in the 2010 statement of comprehensive income. (8 marks)
Calculation of depreciation rate: 15,000 / 44,000 = 0.340909 n = 4; 1/4 =0.25 0.340909 Y 0.25 = 0.76412 1 0.76412 = 23.59%
Calculations: Depreciation expense for 10 months to 30 June 2009: 44,000 x 23.59% x 10 / 12 = $8,650 Depreciation expense for 8 months to 28 Feb 2010: (44,000 8,650) x 23.59% x 8 / 12 = $5,559 Accumulated Depreciation as at 28 Feb 2010: 8,650 + 5,559 = 14,209 Book value of vehicle: 44,000 14,209 = 29,791 Loss on disposal: 29,000 29,791 = (791)
Discussion:
1. The calculations above show that depreciation expense in the 2009/2010 financial year is higher using the reducing balance method than the straight line method ($5,559 compared to $4,833). 2. The loss on disposal is lower under the reducing balance method than the straight-line method ($791 compared to $4,125); the higher depreciation charges under the RB method result in a lower book value for the asset and therefore a smaller loss on disposal. 3. Total expenses in the relation to the delivery vehicle in 2009/2010 P&L are lower under the reducing balance method compared to the straight-line method, (depreciation + loss of 5,559 + 791 = 6,350 for RB, compared to 4,833 + 4,125 = 8,958); this is due to the RB method reporting higher depreciation in the 2008/2009 year (8,650 compared to 6,042).
NOTE: Total expenses recognised over the two years for the two methods are the same (SL = 6,042 + 4,833 + 4,125 = 15,000; RB = 8,650 + 5,559 + 791 = 15,000)
NOTE: This is a long question with some difficult elements. It is unlikely such a long question would be set in this course. A more likely question would contain only parts (a) and (b) OR only parts (b) and (c). The RB depreciation rate might also be provided (rather than being determined) as a means of shortening the question.

USQ ACC1102 Financial Accounting Page 13 of 13 Req. 2
The depreciation method that reports the highest profit in the first year is the straight-line method, which produces the lowest depreciation for that year ($44,000). The method that minimises income taxes in the first year is the reducing-balance method, which produces the highest depreciation amount for that year ($94,080).
Question 6 (allow 12 minutes) (6 marks)

31,710
Delivery Truck....... Gain on Sale of Truck 41,000 20,710 Req. 2 The difference between the gain under the straight-line depreciation method and under the reducing-balance method results from the difference in depreciation amounts under the two depreciation methods. Depreciation is higher under RB, so the assets carrying amount is lower. As a result, there will be a larger gain under RB.
