3)a manufacturer acquires a a machine that should go through a major overhaul every three years .the total price for the equioment is 1 million .it is estimated that the overhaul will cost 200,000. It is estimatedthat the machine has a useful life of ten years .how should the manufacturer initially recognize this machine?
a- recognize an asset for 1 million and depreciate over 10 years.
b- recognize two assets -the machine having a worth of 800,000 depreciated over 10 years and the costs related to the overhaul of 200,000 depreciated over three years .

4)a manufacturer acquires a machine that should go through a major overhaul every three years .the total price for the equipment is 1 million . it is estimated that the overhaul will cost 200,000. It is estimated that the machine has a useful life of ten years . what is the correct treatment of the 200,000 expenditure in year 3?

5)an airline company acquires an aircraft engine with a five-year guarantee . based on their past experience, it is estimated that the engine can be flown for a maximum of 10,000 hours . the average annual flying hours are expected to be 2,000;therefore, the company plans to depreciate the engine over five years .in reality , the number of flying hours is erratic . in a good year , an aircraft can be flown for 3,000 hours . what is the appropriate depreciation method the entity should adopt ?
a- depreciate the aircraft evenly over five years.
b- depreciate the aircraft evenly over three and half years.
c-depreciate the aircraft based on the expected flying hours.

6) a shipping company informs you that the market value of ships increases every year .therefore, it is not appropriate to depreciate their ships .do you agree with this statement?
a- yes because depreciation reflects a decline in a value of an asset.in this case, the market value of the assets is increasing. therefore, the ships would not be depreciated .
b- yes because the allowed alternative treatment in IAS 16 allows assets to be revalued.
c-no, because depreciation reflects consumption of economic benefits of the asset, not its market value.depreciation only ceases if the residual value is higher than the carrying value of the asset.if the company wants to reflect the market value,they should revalue the ships .the residual value would ,however,be assessed and adjusted on an annual basis and the depreciation charge recalculated on the new carrying amount.

7)a major fashion house repaints the interior of its shops across the world .it is believed that this will improve the mood of the customers in the shops .if the customers are happy,they will buy more .can the fashion house capitalize the repainting costs ?
a- yes ,because the repainting will increase benefits which are expected from the shops and the cost can be measured reliably.
b- no ,the costs of the repainting cannot be capitalized to the cost of the building because painting the shops represents maintenance and it should be expensed.

8)an advertising company sold an asset that had a carrying amount of 900,000.at the date of the sale, there was a revaluation surplus of 100,000 relating to this asset recognized in other comprehensive income. the company wants to release the revaluation surplus through profit or loss.is this appropriate?
a- yes ,it is appropriate because all economic benefits due from the asset have been fully realized
b- no, the balance of the revaluation surplus may only be transferred directly to retained earnings.

9)an asset was initially recognized at an amount of 100,000 with a residual value of 20,000 and a useful life of five years .in year 3 ,the residual is re-estimated to be 30,000 .what is the appropriate depreciation charge for year 3?
a- 20,000
b- 14,000
c-12,667
d-16,000

10) a manufacturing company upgrades the parts of its machine's engine. It is estimated that this will increase the output expected from the machine to a level higher than originally estimated.the entity does not have a policy to revalue its machines. Can the cost of the upgrade be capitalized?
a- yes, because the upgrade increases the output i.e, the flow of economic benefits to the entity,is probable its cost can be measured reliably, therefore, it meets the recognition criteria of an asset.
b- no, because the company does not have a policy to revalue its machines.
