2. ADJUSTMENTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

balance method. Take into account that a new vehicle with a cost price
of R133 000 was bought on 1 November 2012 and was correctly
recorded.
B. The Trial Balance reflects a figure of R3 100 in respect of equipment
sold. This relates to a computer which was sold for R3 100 cash on
31 October 2012. No other entries in respect of this sale have been
made. The cost price of the computer was R6 000 and the book value
at the date of sale was R2 700.
Depreciation on equipment is calculated to be R35 040 after taking all of
the above into account.
C. Interest is capitalised on the mortgage loan. The annual loan statement
from Pride Bank reflected the following:

6.10 John will have a problem to replace his old computers and cash registers in
March 2013. The cost of these items amounts to R150 000 and he expects
them to last 5 years. However, he does not have cash available to pay for this.
His options are:
Raise a new loan at an interest rate of 14% p.a. to be repaid over
36 months
Hire (Lease) the assets from IT Connect Ltd at R5 100 per month
Invite his friend James to become an equal partner in the business and
provide capital of R150 000
John realises that all three options have the advantage of not requiring the
R150 000 outlay in March 2013.
Consider each of these options and explain ONE other advantage and ONE
disadvantage of each option. Provide figures to support your answer. (6)
