The following additional information is available:
Building The building was constructed at a cost of N$ 5 000 000. The accounting policy of the entity is to depreciate the building on a straight line basis over a period of 25 years. The building was built next to a sensitive wetland and one of the conditions in the permit to build, was that sections close to the wetland would have to be rehabilitated after 25 years. It is reliably estimated that the present value of these rehabilitation costs would be N$ 570 000 excluding VAT. The rehabilitation costs meet the definition and recognition criteria of a liability. The residual value is estimated at N$ 1 500 000. The building was available and ready for use on 1 July 2012.
Equipment Excavation equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 8 years with a residual value of N$ 300 000. On 31 March 2017, the construction manager, after reviewing the condition of the equipment, indicated that the total useful life of the equipment should be revised to 10 years with the residual value remaining unchanged.
