Marked out of 15.00
Tree Trimmers is a small business entity specialising in trimming and removing trees. The business is NOT a registered VAT
vendor.
At the beginning of the rainy season, the South African weather services indicated a high probability of several severe storms
and regular flooding in the Durban area. On 1 September 2023, Tree Trimmers decided to buy a new trailer for the amount of
R25 200 (VAT Inclusive) in anticipation of the probable increased workload. The purchase was financed through a loan
obtained from ABC Bank. The loan is repayable in equal bi-annual instalments, over 4 years and bears interest at 12,5% per
annum. All interest payable is capitalised to the loan account. The contract stipulates that the first instalment is due on 1
March 2024.
It was decided to depreciate the trailer by 25% per annum using the reducing-balance method. The financial year of Tree
Trimmers ends on 31 December 2023.
Required:
Record the following in the general journal of Tree Trimmers:
a) Purchase transaction of the vehicle on 1 September 2023
b) Depreciation on the trailer for the year ending 31 December 2023
c) Interest on the loan from ABC Bank for the year ending 31 December 2023
