QUESTION 4(25 MARKS) In the 2023 financial year, Leeway Ltd acquired a manufacturing plant site for R2000000 and adopted the revaluation model as its preferred valuation method in accordance with its accounting policies. In January 2024, as part of an insurance review, a professional valuer reassessed the manufacturing plant site and issued a valuation certificate indicating a revised carrying amount of R1900000. In April 2024, the neighbouring state declared war, resulting in restrictions on the import and export of products to and from neighbouring countries. This geopolitical situation significantly impacted the valuation of the manufacturing plant. The fair value less costs to sell was reassessed at R750000, while the value in use was determined to be R1100000. The applicable corporate tax rate is 27%, with a capital gains tax (CGT) inclusion rate of 80% on land. In May 2024, Leeway Ltd conducted a reassessment of its manufacturing equipment values to evaluate the impact of the neighbouring state's war declaration on asset valuations. The following financial data was reported: Carrying value is R850000 Fair value less cost to sell is R615000 Value in use is R585000 Tax base is R550000 Remaining useful life is 4 years. On 1 January 2024, MN (Pty) Ltd acquired Leeway Ltd when the company purchased 70% of the shares in Leeway Ltd The accountants of MN (Pty) Ltd identified machinery originally purchased for R1200000, with a carrying value of R1000000 as being undervalued by R150 The machinery has a remaining useful life of four years and no residual value. The announcement of the war however resulted in a noticeable decline in production capacity as the parts and oil required to run the machinery at optimal capacity cannot be sourced from the neighbouring country. On 1 July 2024, a specialist assessed the machinery's condition and determined its value in use to be R300000. The equipment's fair value was estimated at R500000, with costs to sell estimated at R2000. Required: Record the transactions in the financial records of Leeway Ltd, via general journal entries, for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.
