On 1 November 2018, Graceville Ltd purchased an item of property, plant and equipment for $50 000. The terms of the purchase were as follows: $50 000 could be paid within 30 days, or $65 000 in one year’s time. The management of Graceville opted to pay $65 000 in one year’s time. Delivery and handling costs of $4 000 were incurred, as well as engineering fees of $1 200 to ensure that the asset was correctly installed. The asset began operations on 6 January 2019. During January, holding costs of $5 000 were incurred because the asset was operating at less than full capacity. In addition, $900 costs comprising labour and small parts were incurred in day-to-day servicing of the asset. Management of Graceville Ltd uses the revaluation model to account for the asset.
