Albany Trading operates in a very competitive field. To maintain its market position, it purchased two new machines for cash on 1 January 2011. It had previously rented its machines. Machine A cost $35,000 and Machine B cost $89,000. Each machine was expected to have a useful life of 10 years, and residual values were estimated at $900 for Machine A and $4,000 for Machine B.

On 30 June 2012, Albany Trading adopted the revaluation model to account for the class of machinery. The fair values of Machine A and Machine B were determined to be $28,000 and $89,000 respectively on that date. The useful life and residual value of Machine A were reassessed to 8 years and $1,400. The useful life and residual value of Machine B were reassessed to 8 years and $3,000.

On 2 January 2013, extensive repairs were carried out on Machine B for $65,000 cash. Albany Trading expected these repairs to extend Machine B's useful life by 3.5 years, and it revised Machine B's estimated residual value to $9,250.

Owing to technological advances, Albany Trading decided to replace Machine A. It traded in Machine A on 31 March 2013 for new Machine C, which cost $63,000. A $27,000 trade-in was allowed for Machine A, and the balance of Machine C's cost was paid in cash. Transport and installation costs of $900 were incurred in respect to Machine C. Machine C was expected to have a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $7,500.

On 30 June 2013, fair values were determined to be $135,000 and $63,000 for Machines B and C respectively.
