The Northern Plastic Extrusion Company Limited bought a 3D printer on 1 July 2016 for $49,750 for cash. The cost of transporting the machine from Melbourne to Darwin was $4,000. Once the machine was delivered it was installed and calibrated. This cost $1,250. The transport and calibration costs were paid on 2nd and the 6th July respectively.
The production manager estimated that the machine would have a useful life of 10 years and that at the end of that time it would be worth $2,250.
The company depreciates all of its equipment using the straight-line method. All depreciation calculations are measured to the nearest month. The financial year ends on the 30th June.
At the start of July 2017, in a review of the non-current assets, the chief financial officer was informed by the production manager that, because of recent technological advances, the company should revise the total useful life of the 3D printer from an original of 10 years to a remaining life of 5 years, and that the expected scrap value should be revised downwards to $1,505. These adjustments were implemented in the depreciation charge for the year to 30th June 2018.
The company decided to move from the cost model to the revaluation model for equipment on 30 June 2018. An external valuer was employed to conduct the valuation and the 3D printer was given a fair value of $43,000 at that date.
On 30 June 2019, depreciation for the year was charged and the 3D printer’s carrying amount was revalued to a fair value of $27,121.
The 3D printer was sold for $10,500 cash on 30th September 2019.

Q4.
During a review of the financial statements of Firebrand Ltd the following information has come to your notice for the year ended 30 June 2016:
1. The Northern Territory Environmental Protection Agency (NTEPA) has been investigating an alleged release of toxic chemicals into the Francis Bay Mooring Basin at the beginning of June 2016. An investigator visited the Duck Pond to establish whether the company was responsible for the leak. The NTEPA report was handed down on 12th August 2016 which determined that Firebrand Ltd was responsible for the chemical release and required that the company pay damages totalling $1,750,000.
2. On 14 July 2016 it was discovered that a customer had been delivered goods on 26th June 2016 which proved to be faulty. Consequently Firebrand Ltd authorised the issue of credit notes worth $43,000.
3. The company secretary received notice during September 2016 that a major customer had gone into liquidation. This customer, Torches Ltd, owed Firebrand Ltd $152,000 at 30th June 2016. At a subsequent meeting the liquidator informed unsecured creditors that at best they could receive a distribution of 15 cents in the dollar. Torches Ltd’s factory and warehouse were destroyed by a fire in July 2016 and as the insurance policy had lapsed the damage was not covered by insurance.
Assume all events or transactions are material.
