The basis of measuring equipment


In the 30 June 2009 annual report of Sydney Ltd, the equipment was reported as follows:$Equipment 500,000.
Accumulated depreciation :350,000

The equipment consisted of two machines, Machine A and Machine B. Machine A had cost $300,000 and had a carrying amount of $180,000 at 30 June 2009, and Machine B had cost $200,000 and was carried at $170,000. Both machines are measured using the cost model and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period.

On 31 December 2009, the directors of Sydney Ltd decided to change the basis of measuring the equipment from the cost model to the revaluation model. Machine A was revalued to $180,000 with an expected remaining useful life of 6 years, and Machine B was revalued to $155,000 with an expected remaining useful life of 5 years.

At 30 June 2010, Machine A was assessed to have a fair value of $163,000 with an expected remaining useful life of 5 years, and Machine B's fair value was $136,500 with an expected remaining useful life of 4 years.
