The equipment consisted of two machines, Machine A and Machine B. Machine A had cost
$300 000 and had a carrying amount of $180 000 at 30 June 2019, and Machine B had cost

At 1 July 2020, Machine A was assessed to have a fair value of $163 000 with an expected use- ful life of 5 years, and Machine B's fair value was $136 500 with an expected useful life of 4 years.
