25
What does depreciation recognise in simple terms?
deprivation recognises the depreciation amount (cost less residual value) over the assets useful life
26
Residual Value ISA 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
the estimated amount that entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset at the end of its useful life
27
Useful Life ISA 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
the period when an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity
28
What is the deprecation mechanism?
to reflect the wearing out of a non-current asset
29
What is characteristics that may cause the wear out of a non-current asset?
use physical wear and tear passing of time eg. a ten year lease on a property obsolescence through technology and market changes eg. plant and machinery of a specialised nature depletion eg. the extraction of a mineral from a quarry
30
What are two things depreciation is not meant to?
show the asset at its current value in the statement of financial position provide a fund for the replacement of the asset
31
What is the dual effect?
we record a depreciation charge each year, the effect of which is twofolds (duel effect) - reduce the statement of financial position value of the non-current asset by cumulative depreciation to reflect the wearing out - record depreciation charges an expense in the statement of profit or loss to match with the revenue generated by the non-current asset
32
When does depreciation of asset begin?
when the asset is available for use
33
Relationship between land and buildings and depreciation
land has infinite life - does not require depreciation buildings has finite life - should be depreciation

35
What are the two methods of depreciation?
straight line reducing balance methods

Straight line method for depreciation
depreciation charge = [ cost - residual value ] / useful life or X% x cost (can be used when there is no residual value)
37
What does straight-line depreciation assumed in the exam?
its assumed to be charged monthly in the exam therefore you should always time-apportion the depreciation if you only owned the asset for part of the year
38
Reducing balance method
depreciation charge = X% x carrying amount
39
What is carrying amount?
original cost of the non-current asset less accumulated depreciation on the asset
40

no
41

50
What are the three things ISA 16 P,P and E to reduce the scope of manipulation and increase consistency of estimates made by management of a business?
depreciation method should be reviewed at each year end and changed if the method used no longer reflect the asset pattern of use residual value and useful life should be reviewed at each year end and charged if expectations differ from previous estimate asset carrying amount is then depreciated using the new estimates
51
Subsequent depreciation =?
(carrying amount @ date estimate changed - RV) / remaining UEL
52
If we change to reducing balance depreciation =?
% x carrying amount at date estimate changed
53
When is a disposal t account required?
when recording the disposal of a non-current asset - this is a statement of profit or loss account - it reflects any profit or loss on disposal
