QUESTION 4

On 1 January Year 3, Janice Slater a trader, purchased a motor vehicle by cheque for £9,800. She
decided to provide for depreciation on this asset using the straight line method over 4 years. She
estimated that the scrap value at the end of that time would be £1,200.

On 7 March Year 3, she purchased a machine by cheque for £13,000. In this case she decided to
provide for depreciation at the rate of 40% per annum using the reducing balance method. She
allowed a full year’s depreciation in the years of purchase and sale.

On 31 December Year 5, she sold the machine for £2,400 and was paid by cheque.

Her practice is to record and leave the asset accounts at cost price and to accumulate the
depreciation in a Provision for Depreciation Account for each asset. Her financial year ends on 31
December.

REQUIRED

In the books of Janice Slater, open the following Accounts and enter the transactions for the years
ended 31 December Years 3, 4 and 5:

(a) Motor Vehicle

(b) Provision for Depreciation of Motor Vehicle
(c) Machine
