Depreciation—A Method — cesztive depreciation
concepts and methods of
of Cost Allocation 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
14 LotDepreciation—Method of Cost Allocation
Factors Involved in the Depreciation Process
Three basic questions:
1. What depreciable base is to be used?
2. Whatis the asset's useful life?
3. What method of cost apportionment is best?
15 LotFactors Involved in Depreciation Process

Estimation of Service Lives
@ Service life often differs from physical life.
¢ Companies retire assets for two reasons:
1. Physical factors (casualty or expiration of
physical life).
2. Economic factors (inadequacy, supersession,
and obsolescence).

Depreciation—Method of Cost Allocation
Methods of Depreciation
The profession requires the method employed be “systematic
and rational.” Methods used include:
1. Activity method (units of use or production).
2. Straight-line method.
3. Diminishing (accelerated)-charge methods:
a. Sum-of-the-years’-digits.
b. Declining-balance method.

Recognizing Impairments
Along-lived tangible asset is impaired when a company is not
able to recover the asset's carrying amount either through
using it or by selling it.
On an annual basis, companies review the asset for
indicators of impairments—that is, a decline in the asset's
cash-generating ability through use or sale.
Lo31-31
Recognizing Impairments
If impairment indicators are present, then an impairment test
must be conducted.

At December 31, 2020, Hanoi Ltd. has equipment with a cost of
VND26,000,000, and accumulated depreciation of VND12,000,000. The
equipment has a total useful life of four years with a residual value of
VND2,000,000. The following information relates to this equipment.
1. The equipment’s carrying amount at December 31, 2020, is
VND14,000,000 (VND26,000,000 - VND12,000,000).
2. Hanoi uses straight-line depreciation. Hanoi’s depreciation was
VND6,000,000 [(VND26,000,000 - VND2,000,000) + 4] for 2020
and is recorded.

Case 2
At the end of 2019, Verma Company tests a machine for impairment. The
machine has a carrying amount of $200,000. It has an estimated
remaining useful life of five years. Because there is little market-related
information on which to base a recoverable amount based on fair value,
Verma determines the machine’s recoverable amount should be based on
value-in-use. Verma uses a discount rate of 8 percent. Verma’s analysis
indicates that its future cash flows will be $40,000 each year for five
years, and it will receive a residual value of $10,000 at the end of the five
years. It is assumed that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.

Depletion Discuss the accounting
procedures for depletion of
mineral resources.
Natural resources can be divided into two categories:
1. Biological assets (timberlands)
» Fair value approach (chapter 9)
2. Mineral resources (oil, gas, and mineral mining).
» Complete removal (consumption) of the asset.
» Replacement of the asset only by an act of nature.
Depletion - process of allocating the cost of mineral resources.
11-46 Lo4Depletion
Establishing a Depletion Base
Computation of the depletion base involves:
1. Pre-exploratory costs.
2. Exploratory and evaluation costs.
3. Development costs.
11-47 Lo4Depletion
Write-off of Resource Cost
Normally, companies compute depletion on a units-of-
production method (activity approach). Depletion is a function
of the number of units extracted during the period.
Calculation:
Total Cost — Residual value
Total Estimated Units Available
Depletion Cost Per Unit
Units Extracted x Cost Per Unit Depletion
11-48 Lo4Depletion
Illustration: MaClede SA acquired the right to use 1,000 acres of
land in South Africa to mine for silver. The lease cost is €50,000,
and the related exploration costs on the property are €100,000.
Intangible development costs incurred in opening the mine are
€850,000. MaClede estimates that the mine will provide
approximately 100,000 ounces of gold.

Recognizing Revaluations
Companies may value long-lived tangible asset subsequent
to acquisition at cost or fair value.
Network Rail (GBR) elected to use fair values to account for its
railroad network.
» Increased long-lived tangible assets by £4,289 million.
» Change in the fair value accounted for by adjusting the asset
account and establishing an unrealized gain.
» Unrealized gain is often referred to as revaluation surplus.

€1,000,000 on January 5, 2019. The company elects to use
revaluation accounting for the land in subsequent periods. At
December 31, 2019, the land’s fair value is €1,200,000. The entry
to record the land at fair value is as follows.

Recognizing Revaluation
Revaluations Issues
Company can select to value only one class of assets, say
buildings, and not revalue other assets such as land or equipment.
If a company selects only buildings,
» revaluation applies to all assets in that class of assets.
» Aclass of assets is a grouping of items that have a similar
nature and use in a company’s operations.
» Companies must also make every effort to keep the assets’
values up to date.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 7
Mustrate revaluation accounting procedures.
The general rules for revaluation accounting are as follows.
1. Whena company revalues its long-lived tangible assets above
historical cost, it reports an unrealized gain that increases other
comprehensive income.
2. Ifacompany experiences a loss on impairment (decrease of
value below historical cost), the loss reduces income and
retained earnings. Thus, gains on revaluation increase equity
but not net income.
11-66 Lo7baled Co) ce) aA Ue
Equipment
11-67
If a revaluation increase reverses a decrease that was
previously reported as an impairment loss, a company credits
the revaluation increase to income using the account Recovery
of Impairment Loss up to the amount of the prior loss. Any
additional valuation increase above historical cost increases
other comprehensive income and is credited to Unrealized Gain
on Revaluation.
If a revaluation decrease reverses an increase that was
reported as an unrealized gain, a company first reduces other
comprehensive income by eliminating the unrealized gain. Any
additional valuation decrease reduces net income and is
reported as a loss on impairment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 8
Compare accounting procedures for property, plant, and equipment under IFRS

U.S. GAAP adheres to many of the same principles as IFRS in the accounting
for property, plant, and equipment. Major differences relate to use of
component depreciation, impairments, and revaluations.
11-91 LosD ‘ GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
Relevant Facts
Following are the key similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and
IFRS related to property, plant, and equipment.
Similarities
+ The definition of property, plant, and equipment is essentially the same
under U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
+ Under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS, changes in depreciation method and
changes in useful life are treated in the current and future periods. Prior
periods are not affected.
+ The accounting for plant asset disposals is the same under U.S. GAAP and
IFRS.
11-92 Los0 * GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
Relevant Facts
Similarities
+ The accounting for the initial costs to acquire natural resources is similar
under U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
+ Under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS, interest costs incurred during
construction must be capitalized. Recently, IFRS converged to U.S. GAAP.
+ The accounting for exchanges of non-monetary assets is essentially the
same between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. U.S. GAAP requires that gains on
exchanges of non-monetary assets be recognized if the exchange has
commercial substance. This is the same framework used in IFRS.
+ U.S. GAAP and IFRS both view depreciation as allocation of cost over an
asset's life. US. GAAP and IFRS permit the same depreciation methods
(straight-line, diminishing-balance, units-of-production),
11-93 LosD * GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
Relevant Facts
Differences
+ Under U.S. GAAP, component depreciation is permitted but is rarely used.
IFRS requires component depreciation.
+ U.S. GAAP does not permit revaluations of property, plant, equipment, and
mineral resources. Under IFRS, companies can use either the historical
cost model or the revaluation model.
In testing for impairments of long-lived assets, U.S. GAAP uses a different
model than IFRS. Under U.S. GAAP, as long as future undiscounted cash
flows exceed the carrying amount of the asset, no impairment is recorded.
The IFRS impairment test is stricter. However, unlike U.S. GAAP, reversals
of impairmentlosses are permitted under IFRS.
11-94 LosNV GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
Relevant Facts
Differences
+ Under U.S. GAAP, all losses on non-monetary asset exchanges are
recognized immediately.
11-95 LosD ' GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
About The Numbers
As indicated, impairment testing under U.S. GAAP is a two-step process.
Illustration 11.18, in the text, summarizes impairment measurement under U.S.
GAAP. The key distinctions relative to IFRS relate to the use of a cash flow
recovery test to determine if an impairment test should be performed. Also,
U.S. GAAP does not permit reversal of impairment losses for assets held for
use.
11-96 LosD ' GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS
On the Horizon
With respect to revaluations, as part of the conceptual framework project, the
Boards will examine the measurement bases used in accounting. It is too early
to say whether a converged conceptual framework will recommend fair value
measurement (and revaluation accounting) for property, plant, and equipment.
However, this is likely to be one of the more contentious issues, given the
long-standing use of historical cost as a measurement basis in U.S. GAAP.
