Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E)
Includes land, building, structures and equipment
They are not held for resale
They are long term and are subject to depreciation (except land)
They are tangible
5
Acquisition Cost
Historical cost is the basis for determining cost. Historical cost includes:
the asset’s cash or cash equivalent price, and the cost of readying the asset for use
Costs incurred after acquisition are: added to asset’s cost, if they provide future
service potential, - or -
expensed, if they do not add to service potential
6
Cost of Land, Building, and Equipment
Land costs include: purchase price closing costs, attorney fees, and recording fees costs of getting land ready for use (clearing etc) special assessments for local improvements assumption of liens or encumbrances, and additional improvements with an indefinite life
Sale of salvaged materials reduces cost
7
Land Improvements, Building, and Plant
Improvements with limited lives are recorded as Land Improvements (and not as Land)
Building cost includes: costs of materials and labor, and overhead professional fees and building permits
Cost of equipment includes: purchase price freight and handling charges insurance on equipment while in transit costs of special foundation, and trial runs assembling, installation, and trial run costs
8
Self-Constructed Assets These are assets constructed by the business for
use in operations The cost of self-constructed assets includes:
cost of direct materials,cost of direct labor,variable manufacturing overhead, a pro rata portion of the fixed overhead,
- and -actual interest costs incurred during
construction (with modification)
9
Interest Capitalization: Rationale
• When under construction:
– asset does not produce revenue, socapitalize interest cost
• When construction is complete:
– asset produces revenue, so expense interest cost
10
Valuation Issues
• A cash discount, whether taken or not, reduces purchase price of asset. (This is the preferred approach)
• Cost of assets, acquired in a basket purchase, are allocated on the basis of their relative fair market values
11
Issuance of Stock for Assets
If stock is traded:
basis for recording is the market value of the stock issued.
If the market value of stock is not determinable:
basis for recording is market value of asset.
12
Contributions
Contributions received: Recognized in period received as revenue Recorded at fair value of assets received
Contributions given: Recognized as expense in period donated Recorded at fair value of asset donated Difference between fair value and book value
recorded as gain or loss.
13
Costs subsequent to Acquisition
• If costs incurred increase future benefits, capitalize costs
• If costs maintain a given level of services, expense costs
• Costs incurred after acquisition can be: additions improvements and replacements rearrangements and reinstallation repairs
14
Improvements and ReplacementsCapitalize costs, if
Improvements Replacementsor
They increase future service potential
Substitution ofa better assetfor present
asset
Substitution ofa similar asset
for present asset
15
Capitalization Approaches
• Carrying value of asset is known
• Carrying value of the asset is unknown
• Substitution approach
• Capitalize the new asset (without removing the old asset from the pool), OR
• Debit accumulated depreciation (when expenditures extend useful life of asset)
16
Depreciation - Concept
* Depreciation is a means of cost allocation.
* It is not a method of valuation.
* Depreciation involves: allocating the cost of tangible assets to an
expense in a systematic and rational manner to periods expected to benefit from use of assets
17
Factors in the Depreciation Process
Questions to be answered:
What is the depreciable base of the asset?
What is the asset’s useful life?
What method of cost apportionment is best for the asset in question?
18
Depreciable Base
Depreciable base is the amount subject to depreciation.
It is determined by taking: Original cost of the asset less Estimated salvage or disposal value
19
Estimated Service Lives
An asset’s service life and physical life are not the same.
Assets are retired (from productive life) due to: physical factors (such as casualty), or economic factors (such as obsolescence)
Economic factors in turn include Inadequacy (asset can not meet current demand) Supercession (by a better asset) Obsolescence (other factors)
20
Depreciation Methods
Depreciation methods can be classified as follows: Tax depreciation methods Financial accounting depreciation methods
Financial accounting methods are: activity method straight-line method accelerated method

22
Depreciation Methods: Example
Amber Corporation buys a truck on January 1, 2003. Information relating to the truck is as follows:
Cost, $34,000 Estimated service life, 5 years (or 60,000 miles) Salvage value end of five years or use, $4,000 Actual miles driven:
20,000 miles (in 2003); 15,000 miles (in 2004)
23
Straight-line method
1. Depreciable base = $34,000 less $4,000 = $30,000
2. Annual depreciation = $30,000 / 5 years = $6,000
3. Depreciation Schedule: (years 1 and 2)Year Book Depreciation Accumulated Book value**
(beg) Depreciation end of year1 $34,000 $6,000 $6,000 $28,0002 $28,000 $6,000 $12,000 $22,000
** Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
24
Activity method (unit = mile)
1. Depreciable base = $34,000 less $4,000 = $30,000
2. Depreciation per mile = $30,000 / 60,000 = $0.50
4. Depreciation Schedule: (years 1 and 2)Year Book Depreciation Accumulated Book value
(beg) Depreciation end of year1 $34,000 $10,000 $10,000 $24,0002 $24,000 $ 7,500 $17,500 $16,500
3. Depreciation (2003) = $0.50 * 20,000 miles = $10,000 Depreciation (2004) = $0.50 * 15,000 miles = $ 7,500
25
Sum-of-the-years’-digits (SYD) method
1. Depreciable base = $34,000 less $4,000 = $30,000
2. SYD fraction = (1+2+3+4+5) = 15
3. Depreciation (2003) = $30,000 * (5/15) = $10,000 Depreciation (2004) = $30,000 * (4/15) = $ 8,000 Depreciation (2005) = $30,000 * (3/15) = $ 6,000 Depreciation (2006) = $30,000 * (2/15) = $ 4,000 Depreciation (2007) = $30,000 * (1/15) = $ 2,000

27
Double Declining balance method
1. Rate of depreciation = 2 * (1/5) = 0.40
2. Depreciation (2003) = $34,000 * 0.40 = $ 13,600 Depreciation (2004) = $20,400 * 0.40 = $ 8,160 Depreciation (2005) = $12,240 * 0.40 = $ 4,896 Depreciation (2006) = $ 7,344 * 0.40 = $ 2,938 Depreciation (2007) = ($34,000–$4000) – 29,594 = $406
Total depreciation taken = $ 30,000

Partial year depreciation
When an asset is bought sometime during the year, a partial depreciation charge
is required. The procedure is:
Determine depreciation for a full year, and allocate the amount between the two
periods affected (see example ==> )
30
Partial year depreciation: Example
Amber Corporation buys a truck on July 1, 2003. Information relating to the truck is as follows:
Cost, $10,000 Estimated service life, 5 years Salvage value end of five years, none.
Determine depreciation expense under the double declining balance method.
31
Partial year depreciation: Example
Determine depreciation as follows: First year (2003) ==>
$10,000 X 40% = $4,000 X 6/12 = $2,000
Second full year (2004) ==> ($10,000 - $2,000) X 40% = $3,200
And so on for the remaining years
32
Revision of Depreciation Estimates
Determination of depreciation involves initial estimates (life, salvage value.)
When these estimates are revised, we re-compute depreciation.
These revised depreciation expenses apply prospectively to the remaining life of asset.
These changes do not affect prior periods.
33
Revision of Depreciation Estimates: Example
Amber Corporation buys a depreciable asset on January 1, 2003 for $95,000.
Estimated life was 20 years. Estimated salvage value was $5,000.On January 1, 2009, estimates were revised as
follows: salvage value, $2,000 estimated life : 24 years (years 2003 through 2032)
Determine depreciation for 2009 based on straight line method of depreciation.
34
Revision of Depreciation Estimates: Example
Accumulated depreciation to date of revision of estimates:
($95,000 - $5,000) / 20 years = $4,500 dep $4,500 * 6 years = $27,000 accumulated depr.
Amount to be depreciated (years 2009 through 2032 = 18 years) ($95,000 - $27,000 - $2,000) / 18 years = $3,667 (rounded) annual depreciation
35
Dispositions of PP&E
• Plant assets may be:– retired voluntarily, or– disposed of by sale, exchange, involuntary
conversion
• Depreciation is recorded up to the date of disposal before determining gain or loss
36

Nertz: Gain realized: FMV less book value = $34,000
Davis NertzGM cars,
FMV= $170,000
48
Similar Assets (Partial gain)
• Since Nertz receives cash (boot) as part of the exchange, Nertz recognizes partial gain as follows:
FMV less Book value = Realized gain $170,000 less $136,000 = $ 34,000
• Recognized gain: (next slide)
49
Similar Assets (Partial gain)
• Nertz recognizes partial gain as follows:
(boot / total consideration) * Realized gain
($10,000 / $ 170,000) * $34,000
= $ 2,000. Total gain less gain recognized = deferred gain
$34,000 less $2,000 = $32,000
