IAS 16 - Overview

Objective and scope Recognition Measurement at recognition Measurement after recognition (CM, RM) Derecognition Disclosure

6

IAS 16 - Objective and Scope

IAS 16 objective: standards for the recognition and derecognition of PP&E assets, measurement at and after acquisition, and disclosures

Scoped out: assets held for sale, agricultural biological assets, non-renewable natural resource rights and reserves

Includes investment property under construction and when ready, if cost model applied

7

IAS 16 - Objective and Scope

Property, plant and equipment (IAS 16.6):

“Tangible items that:

(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and

(b) are expected to be used during more than one period”

8

IAS 16 - Recognition

Costs are recognized as PP&E only if:

1. probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity, and

2. the cost can be measured reliably.

Applies to costs at acquisition and after

acquisition.

9

IAS 16 - Recognition

The government requires HTY Ltd. to affix new pollution reduction equipment to existing equipment. Is this a PP&E cost…or an expense?

Apply general principle:1. Future economic benefits

2. Reliable measure

10

IAS 16 - Recognition

Meets the future economic benefits criterion if costs are incurred to obtain the economic benefits or to increase the economic benefits from other assets

Cost of pollution reduction equipment = PP&E asset cost

Same criteria apply to major repairs and overhauls

11

IAS 16 - Recognition

Works in combination with a “components approach”

- Recognize major components as separate PP&E assets and depreciate separately

- When major overhaul or replacement takes place, remove old component’s remaining undepreciated cost

- Recognize new component as PP&E asset- Gain/loss to income statement

12

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Need to know:

1. What elements of cost are included

2. How to measure cost

13

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Cost elements to include:

1. Purchase price net of discounts, rebates, and add non-recoverable taxes, duties

2. Costs to get in place and ready to use as management intended

3. Costs of obligation to decommission asset and restore site as a result of acquiring the asset

14

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Cost elements to exclude:

1. Costs after asset in place and ready for use as management intended

2. Costs to open a new facility, introduce a product, move to new location

3. General and administrative overhead type costs

15

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

If self-constructed:

1. Apply same principles

2. Charge abnormal costs to P or L

3. Interest costs during construction: IAS 23

4. Government assistance: IAS 20

16

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Situation-equipment: $100 cost, 7% sales tax $10 to transport to plant, $5 storage cost (plant not

ready) $3 labor, $2 materials to calibrate machine. $4

recovered from trial run production Used at 50% of capacity: costs = $50, sales = $55 $11 to consultant for services related to choice of

machine and calibration $1 interest cost during one month storage

17

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Equipment cost:

Invoice and tax: 100 + 7 = $107

Transportation 10

Calibration: 3 + 2 – 4 = 1

Professional fees 11

$129

18

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

How to measure cost?

“Cost” is defined (IAS 16.6) as: Cash or cash equivalents paid or the FV of other consideration given to acquire asset when acquired or constructed…

Other IFRS such as IFRS 2: Share-based payment may have other specific requirements

19

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

If non-monetary transaction, exception to FV principle if:

1. FV cannot be reliably determined, or

2. Transaction lacks commercial substance – i.e., transaction has no economic effect on the entity

20

IAS 16 - Measurement at Recognition

Commercial substance exists if:

1. Cash flows (amount, timing, risk) of new asset differ from those of old asset(s) transferred; or

2. After-tax cash flows of part of business taking on new asset (entity specific value) have changed; and

3. Difference in 1 or 2 is significant

21

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition

Choice of two models:

1. Cost model

2. Revaluation model

Separate decision for each class of PP&E

assets. Examples of a class: land, office

equipment, machinery, buildings

22

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition

Cost Model (CM):PP&E are carried after acquisition at cost, lessaccumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses

Revaluation Model (RM):PP&E are carried after acquisition at fair value at date of revaluation, less any accumulated depreciationand impairment losses after revaluation

23

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Cost Model (CM)

Depreciation: Each major component may have a different

depreciation policy Depreciable amount: carrying amount less residual

value Residual value defined: - estimate of net amount entity would receive now

from asset’s disposal, if asset was as old and in same condition as expected at end of its useful life

24

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Cost Model (CM)

Depreciation (continued): Depreciation period begins when PP&E is in

place and ready to use, continues even if not used or is retired from active use

Depreciation period ends when PP&E is derecognized or classified as held for sale (IFRS 5)

Depreciate over useful life to entity

25

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Cost Model (CM)

Depreciation (continued): Useful life – consider capacity, wear and tear,

technology changes, changes in product demand, contractual or legal limits

Choose method based on pattern that asset’s economic benefits are expected to be received: SL, DB, or activity-based

If change in pattern, change method prospectively (change in estimate)

26

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

Apply only to assets whose FV can be reliably measured

Revalue often enough that carrying amount is close to FV

Depreciate revalued amount using same principles as for CM

27

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

RM accounting - what happens if an

increase in asset’s carrying amount?

28

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

RM accounting - what happens if a decrease

in asset’s carrying amount?

29

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

Debits and credits to Revaluation Surplus

are reported in OCI

Choice of entries to revalue assets and

accumulated depreciation: Proportionately, or Eliminate existing accumulated depreciation

30

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

Situation:

On January 1, Year 1, ABC Co. acquires a building at a cost of $1,000. The building is expected to have a 25-year life and no residual value. The asset is accounted for under the revaluation model and revaluations are carried out every three years. On December 31, Year 3, the fair value of the building is appraised at $900. Prepare the entries required on December 31, Year 3

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

33

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

34

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

New depreciation rate is needed as of

January 1, Year 4:

$900 carrying amount = $41 per year

25 – 3 years

35

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition: Revaluation Model (RM)

Revaluation Surplus account? As asset is used, transfer difference between

depreciation taken using RM and amount if CM had been used - directly to Retained Earnings, OR

Transfer directly to Retained Earnings when asset derecognized

36

IAS 16 - Measurement after Recognition

Note - Revaluation Model is not widely used.

37

IAS 16 - Derecognition

When disposed of, or when no future economic benefits to be received from use or disposal

Remove carrying amount from statement of financial position

Gain or loss = difference between carrying amount of asset (or part of asset if a replacement) and net proceeds on disposal

Depreciation methods used Depreciation rate or useful lives Beginning and ending balances and

reconciliation of the two for gross amount and total of accumulated depreciation

and impairment losses

and why.c) Suggest what should be taken into consideration in determining each component’s

depreciable amount and depreciation period.d) Suggest and explain what depreciation method might be most appropriate for each

component separately identified.e) Identify whether the periodic depreciation is recognized as an expense on the income

statement, or whether another accounting treatment is more appropriate. Explain.

10-2 Vedat Corporation acquires new equipment with a list price of $100 to expand its product line, paying $50 on delivery and agreeing to pay $25 in one year’s time and the remaining $25 in two years’ time. The company extends a portion of its factory wall in order to fit the new machine in place and then rearranges existing equipment into a more efficient layout. The new equipment is dropped on installation requiring repairs prior to use. At the end of the equipment’s useful life, Vedat Corporation is required to dismantle and dispose of it, paying a special environmental tax due to hazardous materials in its construction. Vedat is licensed to manufacture products with this equipment, and is required to pay a royalty for each unit produced.

InstructionsDiscuss how the cost of the new equipment should be determined.

10-3Teyal Limited has just finished the construction of its new office building. About the same time, one of Teyal’s major suppliers, Layet Corporation, also moved into its new office building. Layet Corporation did not construct its own building, but contracted it out in a fixed price total contract. The total expenditures were approximately the same for both buildings.

Instructionsa) Assume you are a co-op student in the accounting

department of Teyal Limited. You are asked to write a short report on what the chief accountant needs to consider in accounting for the cost of the new building and its subsequent depreciation policy. Write the report.

b) Assume you are a co-op student in the accounting department of Layet Corporation. If you were asked to write a report similar to the one required in part (a) above, identify in what respect it might differ, and why.

10-4 Resorts Ltd. has occupied its plant facility for 15 years, about one-third of its expected useful life. Although still very functional, numerous repairs have been required in recent months. The accounts indicate the original cost of the plant building was $500. The entire inside of the plant was painted at a cost of $2; the old wooden roof was replaced with a new one at a cost of $45; and part of the plumbing system was upgraded at a cost of $25 due to a change in the manufacturing process used. The plant was closed down while the roof was replaced, but overhead and administrative costs of $10 continued to be incurred even though production was at a standstill. The original roof had been identified as a separate component of the building when it was constructed with a cost of $30 and a useful life of 20 years. No separate records were kept of the original cost of the plumbing or painting.

InstructionsPrepare entries to record the recent repairs.
