8. PPE, Non Monetary Exchange Flashcards
Plant assets 3 criteria?
Be currently used in operations
Have a useful life extending more than one yr beyond BS date
Have a physical substance
(If land held for investment, excluded)
Plant assets includes which 4 categories?
Plant and equipment (finite, useful life)
Land improvements ( finite, useful life)
Land (indefinite, no useful life - no depr.)
Natural resources
Can costs to get the plant asset to the site and ready be capitalized?
Yes
If the estimate time of benefits for costs for plant asset is only for current period, capitalized?
No, expensed. Capitalized if for the future periods too
If the expenditure is inmaterial for plant asset, capitalize?
No, expensed.
If material, determine if the expenditure makes the asset better, bigger or last longer (useful life extended beyond original estimate, more efficient, productive, quality improved). If yes, capitalize and depr.
Maintenance expenditure for plant asset, capitalized?
No
Self constructed asset: what’s included in capitalized costs?
Labor (also fringe benefits), material, overhead, interest (allowed only for self constructed assets).
How does excess value above MV for self constructed asset treated?
Loss. GAAP prohibits the recording of an asset above MV
Sum-of-the-year’s digit method
(N/SYD)(cost - salvage value)
(N-1/SYD)(cost - salvage value)
SYD = (N(N+1))/2
Declining balance method
Salvage value not used
Cost(2/N)
(Cost - yr1 depr)(2/N)
Natural resources. What items are capitalized?
Acquisition costs, exploration costs, development costs
How to compute depletion for the period?
(Depletion rate) x (# of units removed in the period)
Depletion rate = (natural resources acct bal. - residual value) / (total estimated units)
For exploration costs, what’s two methods?
Successful method (BS valuation) Full-costing method (Matching)
How to report natural resources on financial stmt?
Noncurrent
Land not classified as land
Mineral rights - intangible asset
Impairment determination and computation for assets for use
If BV > RC, then impaired (cost of maintenance accts reduce RC)
Impairment loss: CV (carrying value) - FV
Impairment loss for asset for use, reversal permitted?
No
Impairment loss determination and computation for asset for sale?
CV - FV less cost to sell
No depr.
Impairment loss for asset for sale, reversal permitted?
Yes
Assets held for sale, if the decision to dispose/actual disposal are at the same period, G/L recognized? If yes, where?
Yes. Income from continuing operations
Assets held for sale, if the decision of disposal precedes the actual disposal, what would be recorded and what would not?
Estimated loss recorded. Estimate gain not recorded.
Criteria to be classified as asset held for sale?
Must be actively pursued to sell. Sale is probable, within one yr
Asset held for sale, if criteria not met before Bs date, but met before issuance date, how to treat?
Treated as asset held for use
How to apply one step for impairment loss under IFRS?
RC < BV, impaired
RC is higher of FV less cost to sell or value in use (Present value of expected future cash flow/discounted CF)
Written down to RC
Estimated useful life and depr. reviewed how often under US and IFRS?
U: when events occur
I: annually
