Asset overhaul
Swift Corporation is an international provider of freight services that follows IFRS. Its fleet of vehicles includes a truck that is carried in its books as "VC1-016." This truck was purchased two years ago for $ 150,000 and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis. By December 31, 2020, its book value (carrying value) is $ 97,000.
As part of its commitment to safety and as required by its insurer, the company has a policy to overhaul its trucks after every 50,000 km. The associated costs of the overhauls are tracked in separate accounts.
At December 31, 2020, the balances for VC1-016 are as follows:
Overhauls :
Accumulated Depreciation:..........................................
Overhaul \# 6:
Cost.............................................................................$20,000
Less accumulated depreciation:.................\underline{(16,400)}
Book value.............................................................$3,600
On January 1, 2021, after the driver had reported problems with the truck's engine, a decision was made to do an early overhaul (i.e., 9,000 km prior to the next scheduled overhaul). The overhaul was completed on January 7, 2021, for $ 28,000 cash.
Because of a slowdown in the economy, the truck only operated for 21,000 km for the remainder of 2021.
