When acquired the machinery cost $1200000, had an estimated useful life of 10 years, and had an expected residual value of $200000. Ocean Grove Ltd. depreciates machinery on a straight line basis over its useful life and uses the cost method. At 30 June 2023 the machinery had a carrying amount of $1000000. At the end of the 2023 reporting period, the annual review of all machinery found that this particular item of machinery had incurred significant damage as a result of being rolled down a sand dune. As a result of the damage, the engineering department estimated the fair value less costs of disposal of the machinery at the end of the reporting period was $710000. As the machinery can operate in a limited capacity, it could be expected to provide annual net cash flows of $105000 for the next eight years. The expected residual value will remain unchanged.
