Lesson 8
Lesson 8
- Recognition Criteria:
o It is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
o The cost can be measured reliably
- Assets with both intangible and tangible elements – the entity uses
judgment:
o If the intangible component is an integral part of the asset as a whole,
the intangible element is treated as property, plant and equipment
o If not an integral part, it is treated as intangible asset.
Example is a computer software of a computer-controlled machine that
cannot operate without the software is an integral part of the related hardware
and therefore it should be treated as PPE.
- Measurement and mode of acquisition of intangible assets – It is initially
measured at cost
o Separate acquisition – purchase price which includes legal fees and
any costs incurred in getting the asset ready for use.
- Initial Measurement
o Acquisition by purchase: at cost: purchase price and directly
attributable costs incurred in bringing the asset to its intended
condition
o Acquisition by deferred payment: cost is at cash price equivalent.
The difference between the total payments and cash price is
recognized as interest expense.
o Exchanges of assets:
With commercial substance – if entity’s subsequent cash
flows are expected to change as a result of the exchange.
Fair value of asset given up
Fair value of asset received
Carrying amount of the asset given up
Lacks commercial substance – carrying amount of asset given
up (no gain or loss)
- Subsequent Measurement:
o Cost model
Assets held by lessees as right-of-use assets are measured at
cost
Should be measured at depreciated cost less any accumulated
impairment losses
Should disclose the fair value of its investment property
o Fair value model
The entity that chooses this model should measure all of its
investment property at fair value, except in extremely rare
cases where it cannot measure reliably some of it, it should
apply cost model.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value should
be recognized in net profit or loss for the period it arises
The fair value should reflect market conditions at the end of
the reporting period.
Assets measured under this model are not depreciated
- Derecognition:
o When investment property is disposed of.
o When no future economic benefits are expected from it
o On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount and the
net disposal proceeds is recognized as gain or loss in profit or loss.
- Disclosures:
o Whether the entity uses the cost or fair value model
o The criteria used to distinguish investment property from PPE and
inventory.
o The extent to which the fair value of investment property is based on
a valuation by an independent valuer, if not obtained, the fact should
be disclosed.
o The amounts recognized in profit or loss for rental income and related
expenses
o The existence and amounts of restrictions on investment property
o Contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment
property or for repair, maintenance or enhancements.
o Additional disclosures under fair value model:
Reconciliation showing increases and decreases in investment
property
A reconciliation between the valuation obtained and the
adjusted valuation
Disclosure of any investment property whose fair value on
initial recognition cannot be reliably measured, and thus
measured under cost model.
o Additional disclosures under cost model
Depreciation method used, the useful life and depreciation rate
used
Reconciliation showing increases and decreases in investment
property and related accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss.
