About Lesson
The cost of removal which was Rs.20,000/- will be capitalized. The machine will be recognized in the SOFP (balance sheet) as:-
Cost of machine Rs.
Add: dismantling costs of old machine Rs.
To SOFP (balance sheet) Rs.
Answer:

Certainly! Let’s account for the dismantling costs of the old machine and recognize the new machine in the balance sheet (Statement of Financial Position):

  1. Dismantling Costs of Old Machine:

    • The cost of removing the old machine (Rs. 20,000/-) will be capitalized.
    • This means we treat it as part of the cost of the new machine.
  2. Recognition in the Balance Sheet:

    • We’ll recognize the new machine in the balance sheet.
    • The entry will include both the cost of the new machine and the capitalized dismantling costs.

Journal Entry:

  • Debit: New Machine (Cost of Machine) Account: Rs. 50,000/- (purchase price of the new machine)
  • Debit: Dismantling Costs (Capitalized) Account: Rs. 20,000/- (cost of removing the old machine)
  • Credit: Cash/Bank Account: Rs. 70,000/- (payment made for the new machine and dismantling costs)

The balance sheet will show:

  • Assets:
    • New Machine: Rs. 50,000/- (cost of the new machine)
    • Accumulated Depreciation (New Machine): Depreciation on the new machine over its useful life
    • Total: Rs. 50,000/-
  • Liabilities and Equity:
    • Cash/Bank: Rs. 70,000/- (payment made)
    • Total: Rs. 70,000/-

Remember that the dismantling costs are capitalized because they are directly related to bringing the new machine into operation.
