Entity A sold computer accessories. The draft accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014 included a motor van with the cost of $1,985,000 which was bought on 1 January 2012. Its economic life is assumed to be 8 years.

However, the market has turned down on 31 December 2014, as a result, the motor van was estimated that it could only be able to generate $210,000 cash at each year-end of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively. It will then be scrapped on 31 December 2019 with a scrap value of $25,000.

Alternatively, the motor van could be sold immediately on 31 December 2014 for $840,000 and $95,000 selling costs incurred. Market interest rates are 12.00% per annum.

Recoverable amounts on 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 are $750,000 and $850,000 respectively.

On 1 January 2016, Entity A changed the depreciation method from the straight-line method to the reducing balance method of 20% annually.

On 31 December 2017, Entity A sold the motor van for $580,500.
