Fox Ltd has purchased a truck on 1 July 2018. The list price of the truck was $200,000 but Fox Ltd was invoiced and paid only $180,000. Fox Ltd did have to pay for an inspection costing $30,000 on 1 July 2018 before the truck could be used for the first time. In addition, the company purchased an annual insurance policy for the truck costing $24,000 (recorded using the asset approach). The truck will be depreciated using the reducing balance method at a rate of 10% per annum.

On 1 September 2018, the truck broke down and Fox Ltd spent $40,000 to get it back to working condition.

On 1 July 2019, Fox Ltd decided to replace the engine in the truck with a newer model costing $61,000 that uses considerably less petrol and makes the truck more powerful so that it could also haul a trailer. The 10% reducing balance rate of depreciation is still applied.
