Entity A leases construction machinery to local building sub-contractors for many years. On 1 January 2014, Entity A purchased 20 units of construction road roller.  The economic life of the road roller is 5 years.  The invoice price was $1,800,000 per unit.  They were all delivered to Entity A on 1 April 2014.  Installation expense of $50,000 was incurred for installing 20 units of road roller on 1 April 2014.  The invoice price and the installation expense were settled on 5 May 2014 and 1 April 2014 respectively.  The depreciation policy for the construction road roller is based on the straight-line method with a residual value of $1,500 each.

On 31 March 2019, the scrap value of the road roller was sold as $1,250 each.
