Question 2

Superbank Ltd acquired some machinery at a cost of $2,000,000. As at 30 June 2018 the machinery had accumulated depreciation of $400,000 and an expected remaining useful life of four years.

On 30 June 2018 it was determined that the machinery could be sold at a price of $1,200,000 and that the costs associated with making the sale would be $50,000. Alternatively, the machinery is expected to be useful for another four years and it is expected that the net cash flows to be generated from the machine would be $390,000 over each of the next four years.

It is assessed that at 30 june 2018 the market would require a rate of return of 6 per cent on this type of machinery.
