Question
An entity purchased property for 1 million. The expected life of the building was 50 years and its residual valuenil. On 30 June 20X5 the property was revalued to 1.24 million and the buildings 6.8 million.What is the gain on disposal of the property that would be reported in the statement ofprofit or loss for the year to 30 June 20X7?A Gain 200,000C Gain 1,240,000
Solution
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the property, we need to subtract the carrying amount of the property at the time of sale from the sale price.
Step 1: Calculate the carrying amount of the property at the time of sale.
The property was last revalued on 30 June 20X5 to 1.24 million.
The building element of the property, however, does depreciate. The building was valued at 5.76 million / 50 = $115,200.
From 30 June 20X5 to 30 June 20X7 is two years, so the total depreciation for the building in that period is 230,400.
Therefore, the carrying amount of the building on 30 June 20X7 is 230,400 = $5.5296 million.
The total carrying amount of the property on 30 June 20X7 is therefore 5.5296 million (building) = $6.7696 million.
Step 2: Calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the property.
The property was sold for $6.8 million.
Therefore, the gain on disposal of the property is 6.7696 million = $30,400.
So, none of the options A, B, C, D is correct. The gain on disposal of the property that would be reported in the statement of profit or loss for the year to 30 June 20X7 is $30,400.
