The tax base on 1 May 2013 was R200 000 which would be deductible in equal amounts on
30 April 2014 and 30 April 2015 against taxable income.
On 1 May 2013 there was a deferred tax liability of R36 000 due to the temporary difference in respect
of the wear and tear on the machine.
The estimates of the original useful life and residual value remained unchanged after the revaluation.
During 2014 the board of directors decided to disclose the machine in future at the net
replacement value. The revaluation on 30 April 2014 was performed by a sworn appraiser, W Mass,
on the net replacement value basis with reference to prices of similar new assets in an active
market. It is company policy that the revaluation surplus will be realised on disposal of the machine.

property, the 2004 financial statements reflected a deferred tax balance that was correctly
calculated and provided based on the intention to sell. Investment property was previously

, QUESTION 2
WWW Ltd is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures and sells medicine. WWW Ltd applies
the cost model to account for all intangible assets.
The following information is applicable to WWW Ltd:
Licence
On 1 October 2012, WWW Ltd acquired a licence for R2 140 000 to manufacture and sell
alternative medicine. The licence was awarded by the National Health Department for 10 years and is
amortised accordingly over this period.
On 28 February 2014 a material impairment loss of R145 333 was written off against the licence, due
to the fact that a second similar licence was awarded to WWW Ltd’s main competitor. The
recoverable amount was based on the licence’s value in use of R1 691 500. The remaining useful life
of the licence remained unchanged.
On 5 December 2014 the licence that was awarded to WWW Ltd’s competitor had been withdrawn
due to non-compliance with certain legal requirements. It is expected that this will have a positive
effect on the future expected cash inflows of WWW Ltd. On 28 February 2005 the value in use (based
on a pre-tax discount rate of 20%) was determined at R1 750 000 and was used by WWW Ltd as the
basis for the recoverable amount.
