QUESTION 1 (50 marks)(90 minutes)
Dance Ltd is an international dance company based in Johannesburg. The company has a
31 December financial year-end. During the financial year that ended 31 December 2018, Dance Ltd
secured a contract to teach various dancing styles to school children who attend school within the
Loro School Group.
The contract with the Loro School Group was signed on 1 May 2018 and dance lessons started on
1 June 2018. To fulfil the requirements of the contract, three new dance instructors were employed.
Dance Ltd entered into a lease agreement to lease three motor vehicles from KL Costumes Ltd for
the three new dance instructors. (KL Costumes Ltd no longer had a use for the three motor vehicles.)
KL Costumes Ltd is a company owned by Mrs Martin, who is also the majority shareholder of Dance
Ltd. The lease of the three motor vehicles contains a lease as defined in terms of IFRS 16, Leases.
The lease agreement contains the following information:
Fair value of the three motor vehicles on 1 June 2018 (R160 000 x 3) R480 000
Effective date of agreement 1 June 2018
Lease term 4 years
Payment intervals starting on 31 May 2019 annually in arrears
Instalment per annum R150 000
At the end of the lease term, ownership of the three motor vehicles will be transferred to Dance Ltd.
Legal fees of R4 500 were incurred by Dance Ltd when negotiating the lease transaction.
KL Costumes Ltd paid a commission fee of R6 000 to an agent to enter into the lease agreement.
The lease agreement had been entered into at arm’s length.
KL Costumes Ltd originally purchased the three motor vehicles on 1 June 2016 at a total cost of
R900 000 (R300 000 x 3). On this date, KL Costumes Ltd estimated the total residual value of the
three motors vehicles to be R60 000 (R20 000 x 3). KL Costumes Ltd provides for depreciation on
motor vehicles using the straight-line method over the useful life of six years.
Dance Ltd provides for depreciation on motor vehicles using the straight-line method over the useful
life of the asset. On 1 June 2018, Dance Ltd estimated the remaining useful life of the three motor
vehicles to be five years with an estimated residual value of Rnil for each motor vehicle.
The accounting profit before tax of Dance Ltd for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 after
taking all the above transactions into account amounted to R1 080 000. The current tax expense of
Dance Ltd was R186 452, after taking all the above transactions into account.
KL Costumes Ltd also has a 31 December year-end. The accounting profit before tax of

The SA normal income tax rate is 28%. The South African Revenue Service allows a tax deduction
over five years on motor vehicles using the straight-line method, apportioned for part of a year. The
balance for deferred tax as at 1 January 2018 for Dance Ltd was Rnil and for KL Costumes Ltd was
