Tromp Towers

On 1 January 20X4, Tromp Limited purchased and old building for C300000

Conveyance's fees amounted to C20000.

This building has always been fully let out.

This building is situated in an isolated part of Baluchistan and there is no development anywhere nearby. As a result there is no market for buildings in this area and therefore a fair value is not reliably ascertainable.

On 31 July 20X4, the directors decided to repaint the building. The repainting was done ata total cost of C50000.

This building has never had an air conditioning system. After numerous complaints from tenants a about not being able to tolerate the Baluchistan heat, Tromp Limited decided to upgrade the building by installing a ducted air-conditioning system on 1 October 20X4.

The cost of installation included the following:

	C
Adjustments to the structure	30,000
Air-conditioning units	200,000
Installation costs	50,000

On December 20X4, a huge property boom took place in the area, with the result that the fair value of Tromp Tower could now be determined. Tromp Limited does not, however, wish to change their policy of measuring investment property using the cost model.

The building has a 10 year useful life and a nil residual value.

The ducted air-conditioning system has a 10 year life and a nil residual value.

Tromp Limited also holds other investment property, all of which are carried under the fair value model. The fair values are as follows:

	C
1 January 20X4	1000000
31 December 20X4	1250000

Required:

Journalize the entries that would arise from the above information for the year-ended 31 December 20X4.
