(d) The accountant of Wayne Ltd understood that one of Fuel Dispenser Machines has not been operating since early July. To bring the machine into an operating condition, key parts must be imported from the original supplier in China, Wong Ltd and unable to be obtained from elsewhere. However, due to the nationwide lockdown during the months of August and September in New Zealand, the Company was unable to get on hold of Wong Ltd. On 31 October 2021, the accountant believes the machine’s value has declined substantially. The value in use is nil but the accountant of Wayne Ltd believes that the company may be able to sell the machine for $90,000 to Wong Ltd back under the terms in the contract. The company will also incur $2,500 costs associated with making the sale. As at 31 October 2021, the carrying value of the machine was $105,000.
