the answer is £21730
which is 142400-8900 =133500
155230-133500 = 21730
but why is the depreciation being taken of the open balance when the question states "incomes for this three month period" surely it should be taken of the closing ?:001_unsure:

But you get the same answer either way.
You are right in what you are saying, the depreciation charge comes off during the period, not at the start, but the end result is the same. Its just an example of different calculations looking different but actually saying the same.
Personally, my calculation would be 155230-142400 to give the total increase in PPE over the period. I would then add on the depreciation charge as we are told that that amount has already been included in the figures above so we need to add that value on to get the total amount spent.0 -
Hello,
I would of looked at it as:-
PP&E @ 31/3: 155,230
PP&E @ 1/1: (142,400)
Depn Chg: 8,900
Additions: 21,730
It is simply what you had at 31/3 less your opening at 1/1 - and adding back the depreciation charge (as it is a non-cash expense).0 -
thank you both think I have got it now, really dislike this questions though !haha0

hello,
This may sound a silly question.
I have recently started studying AAT and I will be taking my 1st exam in 2 weeks time. I will be sitting the Cash Management exam. I was wondering (as I am new to this) what is provided in the CBA exam, i.e. something to scribble workings on?
Thanks

Check with your exam center.
Mine provides paper, and I need to take my own calculator (non-programmable) and pen.
I think the vast majority of centers provide paper for workings.0 -
