ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. For plant assets, the cost principle means that cost consists of all expenditures necessary to acquirethe asset and make it ready for its intended use.

2. Examples of land improvements include driveways, parking lots, fences, and underground sprinklers.

3. (a) When only the land is to be used, all demolition and removal costs of the building less anyproceeds from salvaged materials are necessary expenditures to make the land ready for itsintended use.

(b) When both the land and building are to be used, necessary costs of the building includeremodeling expenditures and the cost of replacing or repairing the roofs, floors, wiring, andplumbing.

4. You should explain to the president that depreciation is a process of allocating the cost of a plantasset to expense over its service (useful) life in a rational and systematic manner. Recognition ofdepreciation is not intended to result in the accumulation of cash for replacement of the asset.

5. (a) Residual value, also called salvage value, is the expected value of the asset at the end of itsuseful life.

(b) Residual value is used in determining depreciation in each of the methods except the declining-balance method.

6. (a) Useful life is expressed in years under the straight-line method and in units of activity underthe units-of-activity method.

(b) The pattern of periodic depreciation expense over useful life is constant under the straight-linemethod and variable under the units-of-activity method.

7. The effects of the three methods on annual depreciation expense are: Straight-line—constantamount; units of activity—varying amount; declining-balance—decreasing amounts.

8. Component depreciation is a method of allocating the cost of a plant asset into separateparts based on the estimated useful lives of each component. IFRS requires an entity touse component depreciation whenever significant parts of a plant asset have significantlydifferent useful lives.

9. A revision of depreciation is made in current and future years but not retroactively. The rationaleis that continual restatement of prior periods would adversely affect confidence in the financialstatements.

10. Revaluation is an accounting procedure that adjusts plant assets to fair value at thereporting date. Revaluation must be applied annually to assets that are experiencing rapidprice changes.

Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Weygandt, IFRS, 1/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only) 9-7

Questions Chapter 9 (Continued)

11. Revenue expenditures are ordinary repairs made to maintain the operating efficiency and productivelife of the asset. Capital expenditures are additions and improvements made to increase operatingefficiency, productive capacity, or useful life of the asset. Revenue expenditures are recognizedas expenses when incurred; capital expenditures are generally debited to the plant asset affected.

12. In a sale of plant assets, the book value of the asset is compared to the proceeds received from thesale. If the proceeds of the sale exceed the book value of the plant asset, a gain on disposal occurs. Ifthe proceeds of the sale are less than the book value of the plant asset sold, a loss on disposal occurs.

13. The plant asset and its accumulated depreciation should continue to be reported on thestatement of financial position without further depreciation adjustment until the asset is retired.Reporting the asset and related accumulated depreciation on the statement of financial positioninforms the reader of the financial statements that the asset is still in use. However, once an asset isfully depreciated, even if it is still being used, no additional depreciation should be taken. In nosituation can the accumulated depreciation on the plant asset exceed its cost.

14. Extractable natural resources consist of underground deposits of oil, gas, and minerals. Theselong-lived productive assets have two distinguishing characteristics: they are physically extractedin operations in or near the earth’s crust, and they are replaceable only by an act of nature.

15. Depletion is the allocation of the cost of extractable resources to expense in a rational andsystematic manner over the resource’s useful life. It is computed by multiplying the depletion costper unit by the number of units extracted and sold.

16. The terms depreciation, depletion, and amortization are all concerned with allocating the cost ofan asset to expense over the periods benefited. Depreciation refers to allocating the cost of aplant asset to expense, depletion to recognizing the cost of an extractable resource as expense,and amortization to allocating the cost of an intangible asset to expense.

17. The intern is not correct. The cost of an intangible asset should be amortized over that asset’suseful life (the period of time when operations are benefited by use of the asset). In addition,some intangibles have indefinite lives and therefore are not amortized at all.

18. The favorable attributes which could result in goodwill include exceptional management, desirablelocation, good customer relations, skilled employees, high-quality products, and harmonious relationswith labor unions.

19. Goodwill is the value of many favorable attributes that are intertwined in the business enterprise.Goodwill can be identified only with the business as a whole and, unlike other assets, cannot besold separately. Goodwill can only be sold if the entire business is sold. And, if goodwill appearson the statement of financial position, it means the company has purchased another company formore than the fair value of its net assets.

9-8 Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Weygandt, IFRS, 1/e, Solutions Manual (For Instructor Use Only)

Questions Chapter 9 (Continued)

20. Goodwill is recorded only when there is a transaction that involves the purchase of an entirebusiness. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets (assets less liabilities)acquired. The recognition of goodwill without an exchange transaction would lead to subjectivevaluations which would reduce the reliability of financial statements.

21. Research and development costs present several accounting problems. It is sometimes difficultto assign the costs to specific projects, and there are uncertainties in identifying the extent andtiming of future benefits. As a result, IFRS requires that research costs be recorded as an expensewhen incurred. Development costs incurred prior to technological feasibility are also expensedbut development costs incurred after technological feasibility are capitalized.

22. Both types of development expenditures relate to the creation of new products but one isexpensed and the other is capitalized. Development costs incurred before a new productachieves technological feasibility are recorded as development expenses and appear as partof operating expenses on the income statement.

Cost incurred after technological feasibility are recorded as development costs and appear as anintangible asset on the statement of financial position.

23. McDonald’s asset turnover ratio is computed as follows:

assets total Average

sales Net=

$20.5billion$28.9 billion

= .71 times

24. Since Resco uses the straight-line depreciation method, its depreciation expense will be lower inthe early years of an asset’s useful life as compared to using an accelerated method. Yapan’sdepreciation expense in the early years of an asset’s useful life will be higher as compared tothe straight-line method. Resco’s net income will be higher than Yapan’s in the first few years ofthe asset’s useful life. And, the reverse will be true late in an asset’s useful life.

25. Yes, tax regulations often allow a company to use a different depreciation method on the taxreturn than is used in preparing financial statements. Lopez Corporation uses an accelerateddepreciation method for tax purposes to minimize its income taxes and thereby the cash outflowfor taxes.

26. By selecting a longer estimated useful life, May Corp. is spreading the plant asset’s cost over alonger period of time. The depreciation expense reported in each period is lower and net income ishigher. Won’s choice of a shorter estimated useful life will result in higher depreciation expensereported in each period and lower net income.

27. Expensing these costs will make current period income lower but future period income higher becausethere will be no additional depreciation expense in future periods. If the costs are ordinary repairs,they should be expensed.

Questions Chapter 9 (Continued)

*28. When assets are exchanged, the gain or loss on disposal is computed as the difference betweenthe book value and the fair value of the asset given up at the time of exchange.

*29. Yes, Tatum should recognize a gain equal to the difference between the fair value of the oldmachine and its book value. If the fair value of the old machine is less than its book value, Tatumshould recognize a loss equal to the difference between the two amounts.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES

BRIEF EXERCISE 9-1

All of the expenditures should be included in the cost of the land. Therefore,the cost of the land is $81,000, or ($70,000 + $3,000 + $2,500 + $2,000 + $3,500).

BRIEF EXERCISE 9-2

The cost of the truck is £31,900 (cash price £30,000 + sales tax £1,500 + paintingand lettering £400). The expenditures for insurance and motor vehicle licenseshould not be added to the cost of the truck.

BRIEF EXERCISE 9-3

Depreciable cost of $36,000, or ($42,000 – $6,000). With a four-year useful life,annual depreciation is $9,000, or ($36,000 ÷ 4). Under the straight-line method,depreciation is the same each year. Thus, depreciation is $9,000 for both thefirst and second years.

BRIEF EXERCISE 9-4

It is likely that management requested this accounting treatment to boostreported net income. Land is not depreciated; thus, by reporting landat HK$1,200,000 above its actual value the company increased yearly

income by HK$60,000, HK$1,200,000

20 years

or the reduction in depreciation

expense. This practice is not ethical because management is knowinglymisstating asset values.

EXERCISE 9-4

1. False. Depreciation is a process of cost allocation, not asset valuation.2. True.3. False. The book value of a plant asset may be quite different from its

fair value.4. False. Depreciation applies to three classes of plant assets: land improve-

ments, buildings, and equipment.5. False. Depreciation does not apply to land because its usefulness and

revenue-producing ability generally remain intact over time.6. True.7. False. Recognizing depreciation on an asset does not result in an accu-

mulation of cash for replacement of the asset.8. True.9. False. Depreciation expense is reported on the income statement, and

accumulated depreciation is reported as a deduction from plant assets onthe statement of financial position.

10. False. Three factors affect the computation of depreciation: cost, usefullife, and residual value (also called salvage value).

2011 depreciation = 1,700 hours X $10.80 = $18,360.

(c) Declining-balance method:

2011 depreciation = $120,000 X 40% X 3/12 = $ 12,000.Book value January 1, 2012 = $120,000 – $12,000 = $108,000.2012 depreciation = $108,000 X 40% = $ 43,200.

3. Depreciation cost per unit = (R$160,000 – R$10,000)/125,000 units =R$1.20 per unit.

Annual Depreciation Expense

2011: R$1.20 X 45,000 = R$54,0002012: 1.20 X 35,000 = 42,0002013: 1.20 X 25,000 = 30,0002014: 1.20 X 20,000 = 24,000

(c) The declining-balance method reports the highest amount of depreciationexpense the first year while the straight-line method reports the lowest.In the fourth year, the straight-line method reports the highest amount ofdepreciation expense while the declining-balance method reports thelowest.

These facts occur because the declining-balance method is an acceler-ated depreciation method in which the largest amount of depreciationis recognized in the early years of the asset’s life. If the straight-linemethod is used, the same amount of depreciation expense is recognizedeach year. Therefore, in the early years less depreciation expense will berecognized under this method than under the declining-balance methodwhile more will be recognized in the later years.

The amount of depreciation expense recognized using the units-of-activitymethod is dependent on production, so this method could recognize moreor less depreciation expense than the other two methods in any yeardepending on output.

No matter which of the three methods is used, the same total amountof depreciation expense will be recognized over the four-year period.

PROBLEM 9-3B (Continued)

3. Depreciation cost per unit = ($100,000 – $10,000)/25,000 units =$3.60 per unit.

Annual Depreciation Expense

2011: $3.60 X 5,500 = $19,8002012: 3.60 X 7,000 = 25,2002013: 3.60 X 8,000 = 28,8002014: 3.60 X 4,500 = 16,200

(c) The units-of-activity method reports the lowest amount of depreciationexpense the first year while the declining-balance method reports thehighest. In the fourth year, the declining-balance method reports thelowest amount of depreciation expense while the straight-line methodreports the highest.

These facts occur because the declining-balance method is an accelerateddepreciation method in which the largest amount of depreciation isrecognized in the early years of the asset’s life. If the straight-line methodis used, the same amount of depreciation expense is recognized eachyear. Therefore, in the early years less depreciation expense will berecognized under this method than under the declining-balance methodwhile more will be recognized in the later years.

The amount of depreciation expense recognized using the units-of-activitymethod is dependent on production, so this method could recognize moreor less depreciation expense than the other two methods in any yeardepending on output.

No matter which of the three methods is used, the same total amountof depreciation expense will be recognized over the four-year period.

BYP 9-2 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS PROBLEM

(a) Cadbury Nestlé

Assetturnoverratio £5,384 ÷

£ £11, 338 + 8, 895

2 = .53 times CHF109,908 ÷

CHF115, 361+ CHF106, 215

2 = .99 times

(b) The asset turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses itsassets to generate sales. It shows the dollars of sales generated by eachdollar invested in assets. Nestlé’s asset turnover ratio (.99) was 87%higher than Cadbury’s (.53). Therefore, it can be concluded that Nestlé wasmore efficient during 2008 in utilizing assets to generate sales.

(c) As shown above, when the two companies use the same depreciationmethod, Lingo Company is more profitable than Reimer Company. Whenthe two companies are using different depreciation methods, LingoCompany has more cash than Reimer Company for two reasons:

BYP 9-4 (Continued)

(1) its earnings are generating more cash than the earnings of ReimerCompany, and (2) depreciation expense has no effect on cash. Cashgenerated by operations can be arrived at by adding depreciation expenseto net income. If this is done, it can be seen that Lingo Company’s opera-tions generate more cash ($229,000 + $99,320 = $328,320) than ReimerCompany’s ($262,400 + $52,500 = $314,900). Based on the above analysis,Mrs. Vogts should buy Lingo Company. It not only is in a better financialposition than Reimer Company, but it is also more profitable.

Re: American Exploration Company footnote

American Exploration Company accounts for its oil and gas activities using thesuccessful efforts approach. Under this method, only the costs of successfulexploration are included in the cost of the extractable resource, and thecosts of unsuccessful explorations are expensed.

Depletion is determined using the units-of-activity method. Under this method,a depletion cost per unit is computed based on the total number of unitsexpected to be extracted. Depletion expense for the year is determined bymultiplying the units extracted and sold by the depletion cost per unit.

BYP 9-6 ETHICS CASE

(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:

� Dennis Harwood, president of Buster Container Company.� Shelly McGlone, controller.� The shareholders of Buster Container Company.� Potential investors in Buster Container Company.

(b) The intentional misstatement of the life of an asset or the amount of theresidual value is unethical for whatever the reason. There is nothing perse unethical about changing the estimate either of the life of an asset orof an asset’s residual value if the change is an attempt to better matchcost and revenues and is a better allocation of the asset’s depreciablecost over the asset’s useful life. In this case, it appears from thecontroller’s reaction that the revisions in the life are intended only toimprove earnings and, therefore, are unethical.

The fact that the competition uses a longer life on its equipment is notnecessarily relevant. The competition’s maintenance and repair policiesand activities may be different. The competition may use its equipmentfewer hours a year (e.g., one shift rather than two shifts daily) than BusterContainer Company.

(c) Income before income taxes in the year of change is increased $140,000by implementing the president’s proposed changes.
