11 Katie
During the year ended 30 June Year 2, Katie received three grants, the details of
which are set out below.
(1) On 1 September, a grant of $40,000 from local government. This grant was is
respect of training costs of $70,000 which Katie had incurred.
(2) On 1 November Katie bought a machine for $350,000. A grant of $100,000 was
received from central government in respect of this purchase. The machine,
which has a residual value of $50,000, is depreciated on a straight-line basis
over its useful life of five years.
(3) On 1 June a grant of $100,000 from local government. This grant was in respect
of relocation costs that Katie had incurred moving part of its business from
outside the local area. The grant is repayable in full unless Katie recruits ten
employees locally by the end of Year 2. Katie is finding it difficult to recruit as
the local skill base does not match the needs of this part of the business.
