On 1 January 2000, Fabrisio Ltd purchased two new trucks at a total cost of $250,000. It was

estimated that the trucks would have a useful life of 7 years & a residual value of $20,000 each.

balance date is 31 December.

Required:

a. Record the purchase of the trucks on January 1, 2000.

b. Record the depreciation expense on trucks for 2005.

c. Assume that early in 2006, the company revalued the trucks upwards by $25,000 each &

assessed that the trucks would last 4 more years instead of 1 but that they would still have

the same residual value. Record all journal entries for the trucks in 2006.

d. Make the necessary entries to record the sale of one of the trucks on 31 December 2006.

The truck was sold for $27,000. (Assume that the two trucks had the same carrying amount.)

were still being used & if its estimated residual value were still $20,000? Why?
