Equipment?

• Any asset with physical substance that is expected to be used


over more than 1 year
• Future economic benefit of property, plant and equipment will
be received over 2 or more accounting periods
• Therefore depreciable amount must be allocated in a
systematic manner over useful life to measure depreciation

• AASB116 Property, Plant and Equipment
• Assets acquired are initially recorded at their cost, i.e., cash
or cash equivalents paid or the purchase consideration
• Purchase consideration is the fair value at acquisition date of
all assets given up or all liabilities undertaken by the acquiring
entity plus any incidental costs
• Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprise:
• Its purchase price
• Directly attributable costs
• Initial estimate of the costs of dismantling, removing and restoring
cost

Example
ANE Ltd purchased a block of land in order to build a new office building on
the land. Below are the costs incurred:

Price paid to the seller for the land $800,000


Commission paid to the real estate agent 5,000
Title-search and survey fees 4,000
Stamp duty on land 50,000
Cost to demolish the old building on the land 6,000

What is the cost of the land that should be recognized?

Applied Business Statistics for Managers Holmes Institute


Lump-Sum Acquisition
Click to edit Master title style
• Purchase of many assets at once:
✓ Total cost apportioned over the identifiable assets

✓ Each asset recorded at individual cost

✓ Cost allocated on basis of fair value

• Fair value is the amount for which the asset can be


exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing seller and a
knowledgeable willing buyer in an arm’s length transaction

Example

edit Acquisition
Master title style
▪ Why allocate cost?
✓ Reported in different accounts
✓ Land not subject to depreciation
✓ Office furniture and building have different economic lives
▪ Example
✓ Purchased a small office building to accommodate expanding
business
✓ Purchase included land, office building and office equipment
✓ Total price of $800,000 (plus GST) was paid on 2 January

title Depreciation

• Useful life is defined as


✓ The period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by
an entity, or
✓ The number of production or similar units expected to be obtained
from the asset
▪ Residual value is the estimated amount that an entity could
currently obtain from disposal of the asset after deducting the
estimated costs of disposal
▪ Depreciable amount is cost less residual value

• According to the standard, the initial cost and subsequent


costs of an item of property, plant and equipment should be
recognised as an asset only under the following recognition
principle, i.e. if:
– it is probable that the future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the entity
– the cost(s) of the item can be measured reliably.

2 Overhauls & replacement of major parts

Assume a delivery van was purchased for $34,000 and was estimated to have a
useful like of 5 years with a residual value of $4000. At the end of year 4, its carrying
amount is $10,000:
Cost $34,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (4 x $6,000) 24,000
Carrying amount: $10,000

At the beginning of year 5, it is decided to replace the van’s engine at a cost of


$4,500, after which the van will last for 3 more years. The residual value is extended
to $2,000. The old engine was considered to have a carrying amount of $500,
and was written off.
