As its residual value was estimated at more than its cost due to a buoyant property market no depreciation had been charged. As part of a relocation of the company's
business, the property became vacant and was leased out to a third party on 1 April 2010 (under a six-month short lease. At the time
the property was leased out, its fair value was $22 million.
At the end of the lease, the company decided to transfer the property to its inventories of properties for sale in the ordinary course of its business. At that date the value of the property was $21 million. The property was sold in December 2010 for $21.3 million. The company uses the fair value model for its investment property.
