f. i. According to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, PPE can be de-recognised when:
• it is disposed√
• when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal√
In this case, the lorry can be derecognised from the company's book√ since it was involved in an accident
and damaged beyond repair√, thus there will be no more future economic benefits that can be expected
from its use or disposal√.
(5√= 5 marks)
ii. The lorry needs to be removed from the company's book. Hence, the carrying value of RM36,000√
(80,000 - [(2X16,000)+(16,000X(9/12)]) should be derecognised from the Statement of Financial
Position√. Then, the company needs to recognise the insurance money of RM16,000 as increase in bank√
and also loss on disposal of RM20,000√ (36,000-16,000) in Statement of Profit or Loss√.
Alternative solution:
• Step 1: Remove the Gross CA of the lorry (RM80,000) from the book of accounts√
• Step 2: Removed the acc. Depr. (RM44,000 =(2X16,000)+(16,000X9/12)) at derecognition date from
the book of accounts√.
• Step 3: Therefore, the Net CA of the PPE (RM36,000^ = RM80,000-RM44,000) is removed
from the SOFP^.
• Step 4: The insurance compensation/disposal proceeds received (RM16,000) increases the company’s
cash/bank amount√.
• Step 5: Loss on disposal (RM20,000^ = RM36,000-RM16,000) is recognised as Expense in
the SOPL^
