LO1: Identify the various costs included in the initial cost of property,
plant, and equipment; investment property; and intangible assets.
COST OF EQUIPMENT
Equipment - Equipment is a broad term that encompasses machinery used in
manufacturing, computers and other office equipment, vehicles, furniture, and
fixtures.
Key Points:
Purchase Price: Includes the base cost of the equipment minus any discounts,
plus any import duties and non-refundable taxes.
Direct Costs: Costs directly attributable to bringing the equipment to the location
and condition necessary for it to be operational. Examples include:
● Shipping and handling costs
● Installation and assembly costs
● Costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly (Abnormal wastage
is expensed outright)
Other Costs: Professional fees (like legal and consultancy fees), if directly
attributable to the equipment acquisition.
COST OF LAND
Land- non-depreciable asset used for operations, investments and future
operations
Key Points:
Purchase Price: Total amount paid to acquire the land.
Direct Costs:
| Page 2 VBoron
● Closing Costs: include legal fees, title insurance, and other transaction fees.
● Site Preparation Costs: Costs to prepare the land for its intended use, like
clearing, filling, and leveling.
● Assumption of Liens or Mortgages: Any liens or mortgages assumed as
part of the purchase are added to the land cost.
● Additional Costs: This may include removing unwanted buildings minus
any proceeds from the sale of scrap.
Key Points:
Initial Cost: Includes costs related to the improvement, like fencing, driveways,
sidewalks, and parking lots.
Construction Costs: Any construction work done as part of the improvement.
Direct Costs:
● Professional Fees: Architectural, design, and legal fees.
COST OF BUILDING
Buildings - include offices, factories, and warehouses and are considered
depreciable assets.
Key Points:
Purchase or Construction Cost: The purchase price or the sum of all construction
costs.
Direct Costs:
● Renovation and Repair Costs: Costs incurred to make the building ready
for use. If repair costs are incurred, not making the building ready to use
shall be an expense outright.
● Professional Fees: Architectural, legal, and consultancy fees directly related
to the acquisition or construction of the building.
| Page 3 VBoron
Key Points:
Purchase Price: Includes the purchase cost of the property, less any rebates or
discounts.
Direct Costs:
● Transaction Costs: Legal fees, property transfer taxes, and other directly
attributable transaction costs.
● Subsequent Expenditure: Costs incurred after the acquisition only if they
are expected to add future economic benefits.
● Borrowing Costs: If applicable, borrowing costs (capitalizable interest)
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a
qualifying asset are included.
Key Points:
Purchase Cost: The acquisition cost of an intangible asset includes its purchase
price and any directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use.
Direct Costs:
● Legal and Consultation Fees: Costs incurred in securing legal rights or
patents.
● Other Directly Attributable Costs: Costs such as drawing up contracts for
acquisition, amortization of patents and licenses, and costs directly related to
software development.

● The initial estimate of the ARO is added to the cost of the related asset
and depreciated over the asset's useful life. Simultaneously, a liability
for the same amount as the ARO is recognized.
Goodwill- arises when a business is purchased for more than the fair value of its
identifiable net assets. It represents factors like reputation, customer loyalty, and
synergies.
● Business Combinations: Goodwill is recognized in a business combination
and is measured as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities,
and contingent liabilities.
● Non-Recognition as an Internally Generated Asset: Internally generated
goodwill is not recognized as an asset because it is not an identifiable
resource controlled by the entity that can be measured reliably at cost.
Simultaneously, ABC Company ventured into the real estate market by acquiring a
commercial building in the city's business hub for P500,000. This move aimed to
generate steady rental income and broaden their investment base. The acquisition
process involved P25,000 in transaction costs and P15,000 for initial repairs.
Furthermore, they expanded into intellectual property by purchasing a patent for
P200,000, with additional legal and consultancy fees of P15,000. This acquisition of
the patent was a strategic move to secure a competitive edge in the market.

Requirement: Using the guidelines provided by PAS 16, 40, and 38, identify the
initial cost of the machine, building, and the patent, respectively.
LUMP-SUM ACQUISITIONS:
Basic Principles:
● When assets are acquired together for a single price, allocate the total cost
based on the relative fair values of each asset at the acquisition date.
● Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly
transaction between market participants.
Estimating Fair Values:
● For PPE and investment property: Use market prices, independent valuations,
or depreciated replacement cost.
● For intangible assets: Consider market participant assumptions, discounted
cash flows from future use, or the relief-from-royalty method.
Initial Measurement and Recognition
● Recognize each asset at its allocated cost, provided it meets the recognition
criteria of the respective standard (i.e., probable future economic benefits
and reliable measurement of cost).
● Include directly attributable costs such as installation, legal fees, and import
duties in the allocated cost.
Requirement:
1. Determine the purchase price of the journal entry to record the purchase.
2. The same transaction includes a patent valued at P100,000. Allocate the
purchase price including the patent and the journal entry, to record the
purchase.
LO3: Determine the initial cost of these assets acquired in exchange for a
deferred payment contract
NON-CASH ACQUISITIONS:
| Page 6 VBoron
Common in business transactions for acquiring PPE, investment property, and
intangible assets is a deferred payment contract - an agreement where the
payment for an asset is delayed or structured over a period of time.
Basic Principles:

the equipment's market value, reflecting current market interest rates and the
creditworthiness of Dunhill Corporation.
In a move to expand its real estate portfolio, Dunhill Corporation acquired a prime
commercial building. This acquisition was also facilitated through a
zero-interest-bearing note. The terms of the note require the company to make an
annual payment of P250,000 over a five-year period. The market interest rate for
similar notes is 10%.
Requirement: Record the acquisition of the assets in accordance with PAS 16, PAS
40 and PAS 38.
LO4: Determine the initial cost of these assets acquired for equity
securities or through donation
Basic Principle:
● When assets are acquired in exchange for equity securities, the initial cost of
the asset is determined by the fair value of the equity securities issued
unless not clearly evident, the fair value of the asset received shall be used.
● Pro-forma Journal Entry:
Debit: [Asset Account] (e.g., Property, Plant, and
Equipment/Investment Property/Intangible Assets)
Credit: [Equity Account] (e.g., Common Stock, Additional Paid-In
Capital)
Basic Principle:
● Assets acquired through donations are measured at their fair value at the
date of acquisition.
● According to IAS 20 (Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of
Government Assistance), when assets are donated by a third party, the
| Page 8 VBoron
asset's fair value is recognized, and a corresponding gain in the statement of
profit and loss.
Note: The standard does not explicitly indicate whether this donation shall be
considered income or part of donated capital.
Basic Principle:
● Grants may be given to partially or fully finance the acquisition of assets.
Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of
resources to an entity in return for past or future compliance with certain
conditions
● Grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will
comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.
● Recognized as Deferred Income: Treat the grant as deferred income and
recognize it in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the
asset.
Debit: [Asset Account]
Credit: [Deferred Income Account]
To enhance its corporate social responsibility and diversify its asset base, Dunhill
Corporation was gifted a building by a local charity. The building, intended for use
| Page 9 VBoron
as an investment property, was valued at P1.2 million. The donation was made with
no strings attached, and Dunhill Corporation accepted the building.
Dunhill Corporation applied for and received a government grant to support the
development of a new proprietary software system. The total cost for the
development was projected to be P400,000. The government agreed to provide a
grant covering 50% of the project's cost, amounting to P200,000.
DISPOSITION
Basic Principle:
● Disposing of an asset involves removing it from the company’s books, often
due to sale, trade-in, or scrapping.
● Recognition of Gain or Loss: Calculate the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the asset’s carrying amount.
● Journal Entries:
Debit: Cash/Bank (if there are proceeds)
Debit: Accumulated Depreciation (to remove the asset's accumulated
depreciation)
Debit/Credit: Gain or Loss on Disposal (to recognize any gain or loss)
Credit: Asset Account (to remove the asset from the books)
● PPE and intangible assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as “HELD
FOR SALE” and measured at the lower of book value or the fair value
less cost to sell.
EXCHANGES
Basic Principle
● An exchange involves swapping an asset for another non-monetary asset,
often seen in trade-ins or barter transactions.
| Page 10 VBoron
● Recognition of Gain or Loss: Calculate based on the fair value of the asset
given up, adjusted for any cash paid or received.
● Journal Entries:
Debit: New Asset (at fair value)
Debit/Credit: Cash (if any paid or received)
Debit/Credit: Gain or Loss on Exchange
Debit: Accumulated Depreciation (of the old asset)
Credit: Old Asset (at carrying amount)
Debit: New Asset (at the carrying amount of the old asset plus or
minus cash paid or received)
Credit: Old Asset (at carrying amount)
Debit/Credit: Cash (if any paid or received)
Debit: Accumulated Depreciation (of the old asset, if applicable)
March: The company exchanges an old truck, with a carrying amount of P20,000
(cost of P50,000 and accumulated depreciation of P30,000), for a new piece of
equipment. The fair value of the new equipment is P25,000, and the fair value of
the old truck is P20,000. The exchange has commercial substance.
| Page 11 VBoron
April: Dunhill Corporation exchanges a piece of land with a carrying amount of
P150,000 for another piece of land. The fair value of both pieces of land is
P200,000. The exchange lacks commercial substance, and no cash is involved.
LO6: Identify the items included in the cost of a self-constructed asset and
determine the amount of capitalized interest
Basic Principle:
● Self-constructed assets are assets that are constructed or produced internally
by an entity for its own use, rather than acquired
Exclusions:
● General administrative costs and selling costs are not included unless they
can be directly attributed to the construction of the asset.
| Page 12 VBoron
○If borrowing is not sufficient to cover expenditures on qualifying
assets, apply the capitalization rate to the expenditures on the asset.
(General Borrowings)
○ The rate is derived from the interest rates applicable to borrowings of
the entity that are outstanding during the period .
○ Capitalized borrowing costs shall not exceed the actual interest
expense incurred for the period.
● Conditions for Capitalization:
○ Expenditures for the asset are being incurred.
○ Borrowing costs are being incurred.
○ Activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale
are in progress.
Requirements:
1. Compute the weighted average expenditures
2. Compute the capitalization rate
3. Compute the capitalized interest
4. Suppose that the 8% construction loan had been P1,000,000 rather than
P500,000. Compute the capitalized borrowing cost.
| Page 13 VBoron
5. Assume the nonspecific borrowings were P200,000 and P400,000 (instead of
P2,000,000 and P4,000,000). Compute the capitalized borrowing cost.
Recognition:
● Upon acquisition, purchased intangible assets are recognized at their fair
value, which is usually the purchase price plus any directly attributable costs
necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use (IAS 38).
Measurement:
● The initial measurement includes the purchase price, import duties,
non-refundable purchase taxes, and any directly attributable expense to
bringing the asset to working condition.
● Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of the asset only
when they increase the future economic benefits beyond the originally
assessed standards of performance.
Subsequent Expenditure:
● Expenditures after initial recognition, such as maintenance and servicing
costs, are typically recognized as an expense when incurred.
Research Phase:
● Costs incurred during the research phase of an internal project should be
recognized as an expense when incurred (IAS 38).
● Research costs are those incurred in the pursuit of new knowledge with the
hope that it might lead to the development of a new product or process.
Development Phase:
Costs incurred during the development phase can be capitalized if, and only if, all
the following can be demonstrated (IAS 38):
F - Feasibility of completion can be demonstrated.
U - Use or sell intention is clear.
T - Technical ability to complete the asset is available.
U - Use or sell ability is established, indicating the existence of a market.
R - Resources for completing and using or selling the asset are available.
| Page 14 VBoron
E - Expenditures can be measured reliably during development.
Capitalization of Costs:
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized include employee costs incurred while
the asset is being developed, costs of materials and services, overheads that are
necessary to create the asset, and borrowing costs if they meet the criteria in IAS
23 (Borrowing Costs).
Amortization:
Once the internally developed intangible asset is available for use, it should be
amortized over its useful life, and the amortization method should reflect the
pattern in which the asset's economic benefits are consumed by the entity.

LO 8: Calculate the fixed turnover ratio used to measure the effectiveness
of managers' use of Property, Plant, and Equipment.
Basic Principle:
● The Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio is a financial metric that helps stakeholders
assess how efficiently a company is using its fixed assets to generate sales.
● This ratio is particularly important for capital-intensive industries where a
significant investment in PPE is required to conduct business.
Formula:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡 𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 = 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑁𝑒𝑡−𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
Where:
● Net Sales are the total sales revenue of the company, less returns,
allowances, and discounts.
● Average Net Fixed Assets is calculated as (Beginning Net Fixed
Assets+Ending Net Fixed Assets) / 2
Interpretation:
● A higher Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio indicates that the company is effectively
using its PPE to generate sales.
● A lower ratio could suggest that the company is not utilizing its fixed assets
efficiently and may have too much invested in PPE for the level of sales it is
generating.
