QUESTION 6

Windy Ltd is not registered for GST (i.e. there is no GST) and prepares financial reports on the
30 June each year.

On 1 January 2010, Windy Ltd purchased a production press for their factory with a loan of
$100,000 and the balance was paid for in cash. The production press cost $120,000 and it
also cost Windy Ltd $1,000 to transport the press to their premises and $2,000 for installation
and testing costs that had to be carried out before the press could be used. In addition, staff
training for the new press cost $500. The press was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years
at which time it would have an estimated $5,000 residual value. It is expected that economic
benefits will be received from the press evenly over its useful life.

On 25 November 2011 Windy Ltd paid $200 cash to replace a minor part on the press.

On 1 June 2012, a hydraulic pump was installed in the press at a cost of $9,000. After the new
pump was installed, the useful life of the machine was 8 years from the date of the installation
and the residual value was revised to $8,000.

On 1 July 2013 the machine was sold for $80,000.

Required: (Show all your calculations. Narrations are not required).

(a) Record all general journal entries in relation to the press from purchase to
