Jacaranda (Pty) Ltd ("Jacaranda") is a company that operates in the furniture business
in Namibia and has a 31 December year end. It manufactures and distributes various
furniture to its customers including couches, cabinets, patio furniture and many more.
On 2 January 2018, Jacaranda purchased manufacturing equipment from a competitor
who was downsizing after the impact of Covid-19 on its business. The equipment was
purchased at a cost of N$111 000, payable within 30 days.
This manufacturing equipment is required to have a major inspection done every 3
years, on 31 December. The last major inspection was performed on 31 December
2016, at a cost of N$6 000, and the carrying amount of this inspection is included in
the cost of N$111 000.
Jacaranda paid cash of N$3 000 to a road transport contractor for delivery of the
manufacturing equipment. While this equipment was being assembled, it was
damaged, costing the company an additional N$400 for repairs. The repair, performed
on the 2 January 2018, did not constitute a replacement or renewal of a major
component.
The manufacturing equipment was delivered on 2 January 2018 and was in a condition
ready for use on that day. However, it Was only brought into use on 1 February 2018.
Jacaranda measures its equipment using the cost model and provides for depreciation
at 10% per annum on the straight-line method. The residual value of the equipment
on acquisition date was N$10 000. The next major inspection was performed on 31
December 2019 at a cost of N$6 600, paid in cash.
During the financial year ending 2021, many competitors decided to import cheap
furniture from abroad and hence the market was flooded with a supply of furniture.
As a result of this, the Financial manager (FM} of Jacaranda was concerned that their
market share might be eroded, and thus performed an impairment test on the
equipment. The below details were provided:
