The following scenario relates to questions 1–5.Aphrodite Co has a year end of 31 December
The following scenario relates to questions 1–5.
Aphrodite Co has a year end of 31 December and operates a factory which makes computer chips for mobile phones. It purchased a machine on 1 July 20X3 for $80,000 which had a useful life of ten years and is depreciated on the straight-line basis, time apportioned in the years of acquisition and disposal. The machine was revalued to $81,000 on 1 July 20X4. There was no change to its useful life at that date.
A fire at the factory on 1 October 20X6 damaged the machine leaving it with a lower operating capacity. The accountant considers that Aphrodite Co will need to recognise an impairment loss in relation to this damage. The accountant has ascertained the following information at 1 October 20X6:
(1) The carrying amount of the machine is $60,750.
(2) An equivalent new machine would cost $90,000.
(3) The machine could be sold in its current condition for a gross amount of $45,000. Dismantling costs would amount to $2,000.
(4) In its current condition, the machine could operate for three more years which gives it a value in use figure of $38,685.
In accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, what is the depreciation charged to Aphrodite Co’s profit or loss in respect of the machine for the year ended 31 December 20X4？
A.$9,000

D.A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets for which independent cash flows can be identified
On 1 July 20X7, it is discovered that the damage to the machine is worse than originally thought. The machine is now considered to be worthless and the recoverable amount of the factory as a cash-generating unit is estimated to be $950,000.
At 1 July 20X7, the cash-generating unit comprises the following assets:
