Question 1
a) What are the purposes of providing for depreciation?

b) In what circumstances is the reducing balance method more appropriate than the
straight-line method? Give reasons for your answer.

Question 2
A business purchased two rivet-making machines on 1 January 20X5 at a cost of $15,000
each. Each had an estimated life of five years and a nil residual value. The straight line
method of depreciation is used. Owing to an unforeseen slump in market demand for rivets,
the business decided to reduce its output of rivets, and switch to making other products
instead. On 31 March 20X7, one rivet-making machine was sold (on credit) to a buyer for
$8,000. Later in the year, however, it was decided to abandon production of rivets altogether,
and the second machine was sold on 1 December 20X7 for $2,500 cash.

Prepare the machinery account, accumulated depreciation of machinery account and disposal
of machinery account for the accounting year to 31 December 20X7.

Year 3 100 days
Year 4 150 days
Year 5 40 days
