DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE COST
If shares are issued for consideration other than actual cash , the proceeds shall be measured at
the fair value of the consideration received.
Accordingly, where a property is acquired through the issuance of share capital, the property
shall be measured at an amount equal to the following in the order of priority:
When an entity acquires an asset by issuing bonds payable, PFRS 9, paragraph 5.1.1, provides that
the entity shall measure the financial liability at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the issue of the financial liability.
Accordingly, the asset acquired by issuing bonds payable is measured in the following order :
PAS 16, paragraph 24, provides that the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment acquired
in exchange for nonmonetary asset or a combination of monetary and nonmonetary asset is
measured at fair value.
However, the exchange is recognized at carrying amount under the following circumstances:
Stated differently, an exchange transaction has commercial substance when the cash flows of the
assets received differ significantly from the cash flows of the asset transferred.
a. Fair value of asset given plus any cash payment -on the part of the payor
b. Fair value of asset given minus any cash received -on the part of the recipient
Exchange -No Commerical Substance
If the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, the acquire item of PPE
is measured at the carrying amount of the asset given.
Any cash involved is added to the carrying amount on the part of payor and
deducted from carrying amount on the part of the recipient.
Trade in
"Trade in" is a form of exchange. Trade in involves a nondealer acquiring the asset from a dealer.
Trade in usually involves a significant amount of cash and therefore, the transaction has
commercial substance.
As an exchange with commerical substance , the new asset is recorded at the following in order of
priority:
In this regard, reference is made to local GAAP in relation to accounting for donation.
Philippine GAAP provides that "contributions, including shares of an entity,received from shareholders shall be recorded
at the fair value of the items received, with the credit going to donated capital if significant".
Expenses incurred in connection with the donation, like payment of registration fees and legal fees shall be charged to the
donated capital account. The reason is that such expenses do not increase or enhance the value of the asset.
However, directly attributable costs incurred, such as installation and testing cost necessary to bring the donated asset to the
location and condition for its intended use shall be capitalized.
DONATION
Philippine GAAP, further provides that business entities sometimes receive from nonshareholders gifts or
grants of funds or other assets that are restricted for property and equipment additions.
Gifts or grant shall be recorded at fair value when they are received or receivable.
Gift or grant from nonshareholders is generally subsidy and therefore recognized as income
In the rare case when gift or grant is not subsidy, the offsetting credit is a liability account until the initial
restrictions are met.
When the initial restrictions are met, the liability is recognized as income.
CONSTRUCTION
The cost of self-constructed asset is determined using the same principles as for an
acquired asset.
