On 1 January 20X6, Gardenbugs Co received a $30,000 government grant relating to equipment which cost $90,000 and had a useful life of six years. The grant was netted off against the cost of the equipment. On 1 January 20X7, when the equipment had a carrying amount of $50,000, its use was changed so that it was no longer being used in accordance with the grant. This meant that the grant needed to be repaid in full but by 31 December 20X7, this had not yet been done. Which journal entry is required to reflect the correct accounting treatment of the government grant and the equipment in the financial statements of Gardenbugs Co for the year ended 31 December 20X7?
A Dr Property, plant and equipment         $10,000
   Dr Depreciation expense                        $20,000
   Cr Liability                                                           $30,000 
B Dr Property, plant and equipment         $15,000
   Dr Depreciation expense                        $15,000
   Cr Liability                                                           $30,000
C Dr Property, plant and equipment         $10,000
   Dr Depreciation expense                        $15,000
   Dr Retained earnings                                $5,000
   Cr Liability                                                           $30,000
D Dr Property, plant and equipment         $20,000
    Dr Depreciation expense                        $10,000
    Cr Liability                                                          $30,000

Answer:

 A
The repayment of the grant must be treated as a change in accounting estimate. The carrying amount of the asset must be increased as the netting off method has been used. The resulting extra depreciation must be charged immediately to profit or loss.
