Question:

Printbooks Pty Ltd commenced business on 1 July 2023. On 5 July 2023 it spent \($200\) 000 on industrial printing and binding machinery, payable in two equal instalments on 1 August and 1 November 2023. They incurred \($5\) 000 in transport costs to deliver the machinery to the business premises and a further \($4\) 500 in electrical wiring and installation before the machinery could be used for production. These expenses were paid in cash. The supplier informed management the machinery has a productive capacity of 800 000 hours. It is estimated the residual value would be \($10\) 000 in scrap metal at the end of the machinery’s useful life.

On 30 August 2023, the business purchased a second-hand truck for \($55\) 000 for deliveries. Stamp duty amounted to \($2\) 200. Four new tyres were fitted at a cost of \($2\) 800 to be roadworthy conditions and a signwriter was paid to wrap the business logo across the truck body at a cost of \($2\) 500. The business completing the signwriting currently has a backlog of work and could not complete the signwriting until 1 October. The truck will be used for deliveries until the signwriting can be completed. The truck was expected to have a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of \($5\) 000.

On 1 March 2027, the truck’s head gasket blew causing the engine to seize. A new engine was purchased at a cost of \($18\) 000 which was installed for \($3\) 000. The old engine was estimated to have a carrying amount of \($3\) 500 on this date. Management believes the new engine this will provide an additional 4 more years to the existing life of the truck. The residual value remains unchanged.
