Alaqua Co. records depreciation annually (at each fiscal year-end of Nov. 30), or earlier if an asset is disposed of. Its accounting policies include taking a full year's depreciation on equipment that is used throughout the year, and a half-year’s depreciation for equipment that is acquired or disposed of during the year. All existing equipment is depreciated over an estimated useful life of 10 years using the straight-line method and with no residual value. The following events and transactions occurred during the fiscal year ended Nov.30, 2020 (assume all amounts are material): Mar. 13 Traded in old machine vision inspection equipment purchased in February 2013 for $112,000 in exchange for a new, current-technology version with a fair value of $90,000. The new equipment was faster and more accurate than the old and would result in manufacturing cost-savings for Alaqua Co. (thus it had ‘commercial substance’). 

In addition to the trade-in, Alaqua Co. paid $46,000 to the equipment vendor, $1,500 for shipping & delivery, and $2,500 for installation & testing to make the new equipment ready for its intended use. Ignore refundable taxes. April 17 Sold a Plastic Extruder as scrap metal for $2,200. This equipment was acquired in June 2011 at a cost of $20,200 but had not been used since June 2018. May 1 Acquired an Automated Packaging Machine. The manufacturer’s invoice price was $225,000. Payment terms included a $100,000 cash down payment plus a promissory note payable to the vendor requiring two annual installments of $62,500 each, payable April 30, 2021, and 2022. The implied interest rate was 5%. The Accounting & Finance Department also applied for an Eco-Save Grant for 18% of the manufacturer’s invoice price but was uncertain whether the Grant would be awarded. Aug. 25 Received the Eco-Save Grant from the Ontario Government for the full amount applied for.
