Depreciation calculation

Dove Ltd operates a factory that contains a large number of machines designed to produce knitted garments. These machines are generally depreciated at 10% p.a. on a straight-line basis. In general, machines are estimated to have a residual value on disposal of 10% of cost. At 1 July 2020, Dove Ltd had a total of 64 machines, and the statement of financial position showed a total cost of $420 000 and accumulated depreciation of $130 000. During 2020-21, the following transactions occurred.

1. On 1 September 2020, a new machine was acquired for $15 000. This machine replaced two other machines. One of the two replaced machines was acquired on 1 July 2017 for $8200. It was traded in on the new machine, with Dove Ltd making a cash payment of $8800 on the new machine. The second replaced machine had cost $9000 on 1 April 2018 and was sold for $7300.

2. On 1 January 2021, a machine that had cost $4000 on 1 July 2011 was retired from use and sold for scrap for $500.

3. On 1 January 2021, a machine that had been acquired on 1 January 2018 for $7000 was repaired because its motor had been damaged from overheating. The motor was replaced at a cost of $4800. It was expected that this would increase the life of the machine by an extra 2 years.

4. On 1 April 2021, Dove Ltd fitted a new form of arm to a machine used for putting special designs onto garments. The arm cost $1200. The machine had been acquired on 1 April 2018 for $10 000. The arm can be used on a number of other machines when required and has a 15-year life. It will not be sold when any particular machine is retired, but retained for use on other machines.
