SEMESTER 02 2023
QUESTION 1
1.1 Calculate the book value of the existing machine.
Book value = Original cost - Depreciation
Depreciation = R1 000 000 × 0.20 × 3 = R600 000
Book value = R1 000 000 - R600 000 = R400,000
1.2 Calculate the tax implication from the sale of the existing machine.
Capital gain = Selling price - Book value
Capital gain = R800 000 - R400 000 = R400 000
Tax implication = Capital gain × Tax rate
Tax implication = R400b000 × 0.40 = R160 000
