Accounting

  1. Trevor sold shop fittings from his retail store on 31 October 2017 for $3,700. The fittings had originally cost $5,600 and were depreciated using the diminishing value method using an effective life of 10 years. The opening adjustable value was $4,000 on 1 July 2017. The fittings were originally purchased in 2010/11. Decline in value on Trevors other assets was $15,000.
  2. Hannah sold equipment from her factory on 31 May 2018 for $9,200. The equipment had originally cost $11,000 and was depreciated using the prime cost method using an effective life of 5 years.

  3. Joe sold office equipment from his law practice on 1 November 2017 for $600.
