On 10 August 2013 Joblot, a computer software retailer, bought a non-current asset which cost £100,000. It had an anticipated life of four years and an estimated residual value of £20,000.
Due to unforeseen events in the computer industry, the asset was suddenly sold on 10 March 2016 for £45,000. The policy of the company is to provide depreciation in full in the year of purchase and none in the year of sale.
