Ntiwa Limited has an existing machine that was purchased about 10 years ago and it can only be used for the contract offered by SerwaaLimited. The machine has so far been depreciated by GHC10, 000. Meanwhile, its original cost was GHC24, 000. The value of the machine in the books of Ntiwa is GHC14, 000. However, it could be sold now for GHC7, 000 or in a year’s time for GHC1, 000.
