Mr Chukwuemeka Obi recently qualified as a Chartered Accountant and has just been appointed as the Finance Manager of Kano Textile Mills Limited (KTML), a manufacturing company. On reviewing the company's accounting records for the year ended 31 December 2023, he discovered the following: (i) KTML purchased a weaving machine on 1 January 2020 for N36,000,000. The machine was being depreciated at 10% per annum on the straight-line basis with no residual value. On 1 January 2023, the machine was sold for N22,000,000 cash. The bookkeeper recorded only the cash receipt by debiting the bank account and crediting the machinery account with N22,000,000. No other entries were made.
