A business purchased two brick-making machines on 1 January 2010 at a cost of K150,000 each. Each had an estimated life of five years and a nil residual value. The straight line method of depreciation is used. Owing to an unforeseen slump in market demand for bricks, the business decided to reduce its output of bricks, and switch to making other products instead. On 31 March 2012, one brick-making machine was sold (on credit) to a buyer for K80,000. Later in the year, however, it was decided to abandon production of bricks altogether, and the second machine was sold on 1 December 2012 for K25,000 cash. (a) Prepare the machinery account, provision for depreciation of machinery account and disposal of machinery account for the accounting year to 31 December 2012.
