CHAPTER $11$

Question $3$

Marigold Corp. acquired a property on September $15,2023,$ for $$250,000,$ paying $$3,200$ in transfer taxes and a $$2,500$ real estate fee. Based on the provincial assessment information, $75\%$ of the property's value was related to the building and $25\%$ to the land. It is estimated that the building, with proper maintenance, will last for $20$ years, at which time it will be torn down and have zero salvage value. Marigold, however, expects to use it for $10$ years only, as it is not expected to suit the company's purposes after that. The company should be able to sell the property for $$155,000$ at that time, with $$51,000$ of this amount being for the land. Marigold prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
