Here is the continuation of the asset report and calculations:

2. Prepare an asset register and calculate depreciation on the delivery vehicle (continued)

  • Asset Register Entry (New Delivery Vehicle):

    • Asset Name: Delivery Vehicle (2018 VW Caddy Panel Van)
    • Asset Number/Chassis Number: 40
    • Date of Purchase: 1 March (current year)
    • Cost Price: R272 000R272\,000 (R260 000R260\,000 vehicle price + R12 000R12\,000 extras)
    • Depreciation Method: Diminishing Balance
    • Depreciation Rate: 20%20\% p.a.
    • Financial Year End: 28 February
  • Depreciation Calculation for the New Delivery Vehicle (Diminishing Balance Method @ 20% p.a.):

    • Cost Price: R272 000R272\,000
  1. Calculate Depreciation for Year 1

    Depreciation Year 1 (1 March - 28 February):
    $$
    R272\,000 \times 20\% = R54\,400
    $$
    Carrying Value at end of Year 1:
    $$
    R272\,000 - R54\,400 = R217\,600
    $$
    Accumulated Depreciation at end of Year 1:
    $$
    \boxed{R54\,400}
    $$
    
  2. Calculate Depreciation for Year 2

    Depreciation Year 2 (1 March - 28 February):
    $$
    R217\,600 \times 20\% = R43\,520
    $$
    Carrying Value at end of Year 2:
    $$
    R217\,600 - R43\,520 = R174\,080
    $$
    Accumulated Depreciation at end of Year 2:
    $$
    R54\,400 + R43\,520 = \boxed{R97\,920}
    $$
    
  3. Calculate Depreciation for Year 3

    Depreciation Year 3 (1 March - 28 February):
    $$
    R174\,080 \times 20\% = R34\,816
    $$
    Carrying Value at end of Year 3:
    $$
    R174\,080 - R34\,816 = R139\,264
    $$
    Accumulated Depreciation at end of Year 3:
    $$
    R97\,920 + R34\,816 = \boxed{R132\,736}
    $$
    

    3. Calculate the profit or loss on the disposal of the old vehicle

  4. Determine the Carrying Value (Book Value) of the old vehicle.

    Carrying Value = Cost Price - Accumulated Depreciation

    R110 500−R49 300=R61 200R110\,500 - R49\,300 = R61\,200
  5. Calculate the Profit or Loss on Disposal.

    Profit/Loss = Disposal Price - Carrying Value

    R72 200−R61 200=R11 000R72\,200 - R61\,200 = R11\,000

    Since the disposal price is greater than the carrying value, Honey Bee Bakery made a profit.

    The profit on the disposal of the old vehicle is R11 000\boxed{R11\,000}.
