QUESTION 1
1.1 Calculate the book value of the existing machine.
The book value is the cost of the machine minus accumulated depreciation.
Initial cost of machine: R1,000,000
Depreciation rate: 30% per annum
Depreciation for 3 years:
• Year 1: 30% of R1,000,000 = R300,000
• Year 2: 30% of (R1,000,000 - R300,000) = R210,000
• Year 3: 30% of (R1,000,000 - R300,000 - R210,000) = R147,000
