PP&E - Definition
Property, plant, and equipment are assets of a durable nature. Other terms commonly used
are plant assets and fixed assets.
► “Used in operations” and not for resale.
► Long-term in nature and usually depreciated.
► Possess physical substance.

Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:


(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or
for administrative purposes; and
(b) are expected to be used during more than one period. IAS 16.6

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Classification of items as inventory or PP&E


In our view, an item of inventory is accounted for as an item of PP&E if it:
 is not held for sale or consumed in a production process or during the process of
rendering services;
 is necessary to operate or benefit from an asset during more than one operating cycle;
and
 cannot be recouped through sale (or is significantly impaired after it has been used to
operate the asset or benefit from that asset).

Gas filled in the cave


An entity acquires the right to use an underground cave for gas storage
purposes for a period of 50 years. The cave is filled with gas, but a substantial
part of that gas will only be used to keep the cave under pressure in order to
be able to get gas out of the cave. It is not possible to distinguish the gas that
will be used to keep the cave under pressure and the rest of the gas.

Oil in an oil refining plant


An entity operates an oil refining plant. In order for the refining process to
take place, the plant must contain a certain minimum quantity of oil. This can
only be taken out once the plant is abandoned and would then be polluted to
such an extent that the oil’s value is significantly reduced.

Gas in its gas distribution network


An entity sells gas and has at any one time a certain quantity of gas in its gas
distribution network.

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets


General Valuation Principle (GVP): Cost of asset acquired is:
• fair value of asset given up plus cash paid or minus cash received or
• fair value of asset acquired if it is more clearly evident
In the exchange of assets fair value is used except in rare situations in which the fair value cannot be
determined or the exchange lacks commercial substance.
Exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows change as a result of the transaction. That is,
if the two parties’ economic positions change, the transaction has commercial substance.

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation
Depreciation is the accounting process of allocating the cost of tangible assets to
expense in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from
the use of the asset.

Allocating costs of long-lived assets:


 Fixed assets = Depreciation expense

 Intangibles = Amortization expense

 Mineral resources = Depletion expense

Three basic questions:


1. What depreciable base is to be used?

2. What is the asset’s useful life?

3. What method of cost apportionment is best?


23

23

Depreciable base
Depreciable Base for the Asset

Residual value or Scrap value


• Also called salvage value or terminal value;
• Estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting
the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at
the end of its useful life.

Component Depreciation
IFRS requires that each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment that is significant to
the total cost of the asset must be depreciated separately.
Illustration: EuroAsia Airlines purchases an airplane for €100,000,000 on January 1, 2020. The
airplane has a useful life of 20 years and a residual value of €0. EuroAsia uses the straight-line
method of depreciation for all its airplanes. EuroAsia identifies the following components, amounts,
and useful lives.

Revision of Depreciation Rates
How should companies handle revisions in depreciation rates?
 Accounted for in the current and prospective periods
 Not handled retrospectively
 Not considered errors or extraordinary items

Arcadia HS, purchased equipment for $510,000 which was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years
with a residual value of $10,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years
on a straight-line basis. In 2019 (year 8), it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15
years with a residual value of $5,000 at the end of that time.

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Self-constructed assets
When self-constructing an asset, two accounting issues must
be addressed:
 overhead allocation to the self-constructed asset.
• incremental overhead only
• full-cost approach
 proper treatment of interest incurred during construction

Under certain conditions, borrowing costs


incurred on qualifying assets is capitalized.

Asset that necessarily Interest and other costs that are incurred
takes a substantial period in connection with the borrowing of funds
of time to get ready for its that are directly attributable to the
intended use. acquisition, construction or production of
the qualifying asset

Borrowing Cost Capitalization


ISA 23 – Borrowing 
costs

Capitalization begins when:


• construction begins
• Borrowing cost is incurred, and
• qualifying expenses are incurred.
Capitalization ends when:
• the asset is substantially complete and ready for
its intended use, or
• when borrowing costs no longer are being
incurred.

Borrowing Cost Capitalization

General borrowings

Interest Capitalization
Borrowing Cost is capitalized based on
Average Accumulated Expenditures (AAE).

Qualifying expenditures (construction labor, material, and


overhead) weighted for the number of months outstanding
during the current accounting period.

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Interest Capitalization
Welling, Inc. is constructing a building for its own use. Construction activities
started on May 1 and have continued through Dec. 31. Welling made the
following qualifying expenditures: May 1, $125,000; July 31, $160,000, Oct. 1,
$200,000; and Dec. 1, $300,000. Welling borrowed $1,000,000 on May 1, from
Bub’s Bank for 10 years at 10 percent to finance the construction. The loan is
related to the construction project and the company uses the specific interest
method to compute the amount of interest to capitalize.
Average Accumulated Expenditures
Fraction of
Construction
Date Expenditure Period AAE
5/1 $ 125,000 8/8 $ 125,000
7/31 160,000 5/8 100,000
10/1 200,000 3/8 75,000
12/1 300,000 1/8 37,500
$ 785,000 $ 337,500

59

Interest Capitalization

Since the $1,000,000 of specific borrowing is sufficient to


cover the $337,500 of average accumulated expenditures
for the year, use the specific borrowing rate of 10 percent to
determine the amount of interest to capitalize.

Interest = AAE × Specific Borrowing Rate × Time


Interest = $337,500 × 10% × 8/12 = $22,500

The loan, initiated on May 1, is


outstanding for 8 months of the year.

IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

Interest Capitalization

If Welling had not borrowed specifically for this construction project, it would
have used the weighted-average interest method. The weighted average
interest rate on other debt would have been used to compute the amount of
interest to capitalize. For example, if the weighted-average interest rate on
other debt is 12 percent, the amount of interest capitalized would be:

Interest = AAE × Weighted-average Rate × Time


Interest = $337,500 × 12% × 8/12 = $27,000
