“Used in operations” and not for resale.

Long-term in nature and usually depreciated.

Possess physical substance.

Plant assets include land, land improvements, buildings, and equipment (machinery, furniture, tools).

Major characteristics include:

Section 1 – Plant AssetsSection 1 – Plant Assets

Referred to as property, plant, and equipment; plant and equipment; and fixed assets.

Costs typically include:

Land

Determining the Cost of Plant AssetsDetermining the Cost of Plant Assets

(1) the purchase price;

(2) closing costs, such as title and attorney’s fees;

(3) real estate brokers’ commissions;

(4) costs of grading, filling, draining, and clearing;

(5) assumption of any liens, mortgages, or encumbrances on the property.SO 1 Describe how the cost principle applies to plant assets.

Chapter 10-7

Illustration: Assume that Hayes Manufacturing Company acquires real estate at a cash cost of $100,000. The property contains an old warehouse that is razed at a net cost of $6,000 ($7,500 in costs less $1,500 proceeds from salvaged materials). Additional expenditures are the attorney’s fee, $1,000, and the real estate broker’scommission, $8,000. The cost of the land is $115,000, computed as follows.

Required: Determine amount to be reported as the cost of the land.

Land Improvements


Examples are driveways, parking lots, fences, landscaping, and underground sprinklers.

Limited useful lives.

Expense (depreciate) the cost of land improvements over their useful lives.


Chapter 10-10

Includes all costs related directly to purchase or construction.

Buildings

Purchase costs:

Purchase price, closing costs (attorney’s fees, title insurance, etc.) and real estate broker’s commission.

Remodeling and replacing or repairing the roof, floors, electrical wiring, and plumbing.

Construction costs:

Contract price plus payments for architects’ fees, building permits, and excavation costs.



Chapter 10-11

Include all costs incurred in acquiring the equipment and preparing it for use.

Costs typically include:

Equipment

purchase price,

sales taxes,

freight and handling charges,

Process of cost allocation, not asset valuation.

Applies to land improvements, buildings, and equipment, not land.

Depreciable, because the revenue-producing ability of asset will decline over the asset’s useful life.

Depreciation is the 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.

Natural resources consist of standing timber and underground deposits of oil, gas, and minerals.

Distinguishing characteristics:

Section 2 – Natural ResourcesSection 2 – Natural Resources

Chapter 10-40

Depletion is to natural resources as depreciation is to plant assets.

Companies generally use units-of-activity method.

Depletion generally is a function of the units extracted.

Cost - price needed to acquire the resource and prepare it for its intended use.

Depletion - allocation of the cost to expense in a rational and systematic manner over the resource’s useful life.


SO 7 Compute periodic depletion of natural resources.

Chapter 10-41

Illustration: Assume that Lane Coal Company invests $5 million in a mine estimated to have 10 million tons of coal and no salvage value. In the first year, Lane extracts and sells 800,000 tons of coal. Lane computes the depletion expense as follows:



$5,000,000 ÷ 10,000,000 = $.50 depletion cost per ton

$.50 x 800,000 = $400,000 depletion expense

Capitalize costs of purchasing a patent and amortize over its 20-year life or its useful life, whichever is shorter.

Expense any R&D costs in developing a patent.

Legal fees incurred successfully defending a patent are capitalized to Patent account.
