Answer
To find the carrying value of the vehicles on 1 March 2021, use the formula:
Carrying value = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation
Given values:
Original cost = R2,350,000
Accumulated depreciation = R840,000
Thus,
Carrying value = R2,350,000 - R840,000 = R1,510,000

Answer
To calculate total depreciation on equipment, apply the formula:
Total depreciation = (Cost x Depreciation rate)
For the equipment:
Old cost = R28,000
New cost = R95,000, useful life = 5 years, hence annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation = R95,000 / 5 = R19,000
Total depreciation = R19,000 + R28,000 = R36,124

To find the carrying value of the vehicle sold:
Carrying value = Original cost - Depreciation
Original cost = R80,000
Depreciation = R12,000 (1 method) or calculated directly = R68,000.

Answer
Fixed assets purchased can be calculated as follows:
Purchases = Ending fixed assets - Beginning fixed assets + Depreciation
Using given values:
Ending fixed assets = R7,988,000
Beginning fixed assets = R6,600,000
Depreciation = R298,000
So,
Purchases = R7,988,000 - R6,600,000 + R298,000 = R1,160,624
