Question 3
(20 marks)
Tower Heights Limited is a property company based in Windhoek with a 31 December year end.
In addition to land and buildings that it owns for day-to-day administrative activities, it has land
and buildings that are sold in the ordinary course of business as well as buildings that it leases
out to tenants in terms of operating leases.
The following information relates to an office building that it acquired on 1 January 2021 as a
cost of N$4,200,000 via an electronic funds transfer (EFT). It was immediately leased out in
terms of an operating lease until 30 June 2022. On 1 July 2022 the company took occupation of
the building and began to use it as its administrative headquarters.
The fair values of the property were determined as follows:
• 31 December 2021- N$4,500,000
• 1 July 2022 -
N$5,200,000
• 31 December 2022 - N$5,300,000
Tower Heights Limited depreciates buildings at a rate of 4% per annum on the straight-line basis
from the date the buildings are classified as property, plant and equipment. The company uses
the cost model to account for property, plant and equipment and the fair value model for
investment properties.
On 1 December 2022, Tower Heights acquired a plot of land for N$1,000,000 cash whose use
has yet to be determined.
