IAS36
An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

This usually due to a reason why the asset can no longer be used:
- broken
- better technology available
- legal reason why you’re no longer allowed to use it etc.

Q

How do we measure Inventory?(IAS2)

A

OR
- Price at which a product is sold minus the cost of selling the item (Net Realisable Value)

Inventories are always recorded at the LOWER OF cost or NRV.

Inventories are always recorded at the LOWER OF cost or NRV.

34
Q

What is the Net Realisable Value of an inventory?

A

= Price at which a product is sold -/- the cost of selling the item (including the packaging the item)

35
Q

How does the age of inventories affect how it’s valued:

A

Newer inventory is often more expensive.

36
Q

FIFO =

A

First in First out.
Assuming the oldest items are first sold, which are valued at their lower cost of sales.

Assumed to be used always, under IAS2.

37
Q

LIFO =

A

Last in First Out:
NOT allowed to be used under IAS2.

38
Q

What is IFRS16 about:

A

Leases and their:
- recognition
- measurement
- presentation and disclosure

Lessees need to provide Relevant Information about leases in their financial statements, so transactions are Faithfully Represented.

When you have a lease, you have an Asset and a Liability.

IFRS16 is not used for all types of Leases.

39
Q

When is IFRS16 NOT used:

A

1) Short term leases that are fewer than 12 months

2) Leases where the asset is of low value.

40
Q

How to expense a lease on a straight-line basis over the ‘life of a lease’, if 1st year nonpayment, followed by 2yrs of £3000.

A

Spread lease of 3 years = £2000

Yr1:
DR Income statement £2000
Cr Accruals

Yr2 &3:
Dr Income statement £2000
Dr Accrual £1000
Cr Bank £3000

41
Q

What is a lease contract:

A

The right to control the use of an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(Time could be expressed in number of uses, like mileage).

  • there has to be an asset
  • the lessee must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
  • the lessee must have the right to control the asset, how and what it’s used for.
42
Q

What does Right to Control mean in terms of Leasing (IFRS16)

A
  • Right to Obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of asset
  • Right to direct the use of the asset

Mileage for example is a limitation, but it limits the Scope of the Lease, not the Right to Control the asset.

43
Q

What if a Substantive Substitution Right exists in the Lease Contract:

A
  • In this case the Lessor has the right to Replace the Asset, because it’s economically beneficial for them.

If that’s the case the Lessee, does NOT have the right to direct the use of the asset.
In that case there is NO Lease.

44
Q

Separating lease payments into components:

A

The lessee is allowed to separate the payment into a lease payment and the maintenance payment for example.

It is NOT mandatory thought, it’s a choice to separate the components out.

Work out the Stand Alone Selling Price, to work out what the lease amount is.

45
Q

How to work out the Stand Alone Selling Price:

A

If:
A - Combined total = £30k
B - Contract w/out maintenance = £25k
C - Separate Maintenance contract = £10k

SASP = (B / (B+C)) x A

Non-Lease Component =
(C / (B+C)) x A

46
Q

Recognising a lease under IFRS16:

A

A lessee recognises:
- the Right of Use Asset
- the Lease Liability

At the Commencement Date

47
Q

What is the Commencement Date of a Lease:

A

The date the asset becomes available.
NOT the date of the contract.

48
Q

How is the Right of Use Asset recognised on the SOFP:

A
  • As an asset, and it’s depreciated over its useful life.
49
Q

What is the Useful Life of a Leased Asset:

A

The shorter of:
- Actual useful life
Or
- Length of the Lease

50
Q

How is the Rightnof Use Asset measured:

A
  • At cost.
    Cost = Lease liability + Associated direct costs
51
Q

What is a Lease Liability?

A

A Present Obligation
Arising from Past events
Which results in a an Outflow of Economic benefits (cash)

52
Q

How to measure the Lease Liability:

A

Present Value of future lease payments Discounted using implied interest

53
Q

How to calculate the Present Value of a Lease:
(Calculating Present Value is not part of this exam.)

A

Use table.
Because £7000 per year is worth more in year 1, then in year 2 and 3.

54
Q

Direct Costs to include in the Cost of a Lease Asset on the SOFP.

A
  • Costs of getting asset in place
  • dismantling cost
  • early payment incentives
55
Q

Direct Costs to include in the Cost of a Lease Asset on the SOFP.

A
  • Costs of getting asset in place
  • dismantling cost
  • early payment incentives
56
Q

Recognise Lease in FS:

A
  • Credit the Lease liability - PV
  • Debit the Right of Use Asset at Cost
  • Set up Cost: Debit Asset; Credit Bank
  • Dismantling: Debit Asset, Credit Bank
  • Early Payment: Debit asset, credit bank acc.
  • Incentive payment: Debit bank, Credit asset
57
Q

How to treat subsequent measurement of a lease:

A
  • Remeasure lease liability based on payments made and interest charged (amortised cost).
  • Calculate depreciation to find the carrying value of the asset.

Lease liability =
(Useful life x lease payment), adjusted to Present Value based on an implied interest rate.

Value of the Right of Use Asset =
Lease Liability
+ Initial Cost
+ Dismantling Cost
+ Early payment
- Incentive payment

Depreciation =
Cost of the asset / useful life

Carrying value = Value of the current asset -/- depreciation
(NOT taking into account interest)

Lease liability =
Lease liability

Interest charge is shown as an expense in the income statement.

Lease liability is restated in SOFP at amortised cost. (This is the amount + interest and -/- Lease Payment.

How to process this:
Debit liability with the Lease payment.
Credit bank

Credit Liability to reflect the Interest
Debit Expense to the Income Statement

58
Q

Initial measurement of a Lease in the SOFP:

A

Asset = lease liability (discounted to present value) + direct costs

Lease Liability = PV of lease payments

59
Q

Subsequent measurement of Lease in SOFP:

A

Cost of the Right of Use asset -/- depreciation
(Using the useful life)

Lease liability = Amortised cost of LL (LL minus lease payment + interest (or vice versa - depending on payment in advance or in arrears.)

Depreciation cost is an expense on the income statement.

Right of use can be included with other non-current assets. If we do this, we have to include a note/disclosure that the lease is included there

60
Q

Disclosure requirements for Leases (IFRS 16):

A
  • Show depreciation charge
  • Show interest expense
  • Show cash outflow for lease payments
  • asset additions
  • Asset carrying value
  • Maturity analysis of lease liability. (Show full schedule of lease over the useful life)
  • short-term leases and leases of low-value
61
Q

What is a Tangible asset according to IAS16:

A

Assets that are held by an entity in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and…
Are expected to be used during more than one period.

62
Q

When is an asset recognised in the financial statements: (IAS16)

A

It is probable that any future Economic Benefits associated with the asset will flow to or from the entity; and

The asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.

If an entity fully assumes the Risks and Rewards of the asset, then it’s an asset on the financial statements. If not, it may be a lease for example.

If the entity Control’s the asset it needs recognition on the financial statements.

63
Q

When is an asset recognised in the financial statements: (IAS16)

A

It is probable that any future Economic Benefits associated with the asset will flow to or from the entity; and

The asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.

If an entity fully assumes the Risks and Rewards of the asset, then it’s an asset on the financial statements. If not, it may be a lease for example.

If the entity Control’s the asset it needs recognition on the financial statements.

64
Q

(IAS16): if you
- increase the future economic benefit or
-if you Replace a component:
- if you carry out a Significant Inspection on an asset.

A

You Capitalise the cost (you don’t expense it.)

65
Q

IAS16: Recognition cost of an asset includes:

A

+ Original cost
+ Delivery costs of the machine
(Freight charges, brokerage, import duties)
+ Preparation charges incurred
(Excavation charges, installation and machinery assembly, initial set-up)

For example training costs cannot be Capitalised. (Because staff can leave.)

66
Q

IAS16: How to recognise an asset produced by the entity itself.

A

Then it’s accounted for at cost, not the value it would be sold for.

67
Q

IAS36: what to assess annually

A
  • Tangible: only assess if there is an Indication of impairment
  • Intangible assets with an indefinite life: asses annually (regardless of whether there is an impairment.)
68
Q

How to identify impairment (IAS36)

A

External sources:
- market value has decreased
- changed to technology or to the law
- interest rates may have risen

Internal sources:
- evidence of obsolescence or damage
- changes in the way we use the asset
- poorer performance of an asset

69
Q

What is the carrying value - impairment (IAS36)

A

The value of the asset currently shown on the statement of financial position

70
Q

What is the Value in Use (IAS36):

A

The estimated discounted value of the future cash inflows to be derived from using the asset and its disposal.

How much is the asset worth to us?
It’s worth what we will generate with it in terms of cash in the future + disposal value.
Then discount the total.

71
Q

What is the Value in Use (IAS36):

A

The estimated discounted value of the future cash inflows to be derived from using the asset and its disposal.

How much is the asset worth to us?
It’s worth what we will generate with it in terms of cash in the future + disposal value.
Then discount the total.

72
Q

Net realisable value of an asset =

A

The value the asset can be sold for minus costs made to sell it or to dispose of it.

73
Q

CGU =

A

A cash generating unit.

It’s a group of assets that together generate a separate cashflow.
For example, for Premier Inn, each hotel in itself is a CGU.

74
Q

CGU =

A

A cash generating unit.

It’s a group of assets that together generate a separate cashflow.
For example, for Premier Inn, each hotel in itself is a CGU.

75
Q

How is a CGU related to Impairment:

A

If it’s difficult to separate the assets, you can apply Impairment to the CGU.

76
Q

How is a CGU related to Impairment:

A

If it’s difficult to separate the assets, you can apply Impairment to the CGU.

77
Q

How to apply impairment rules to a CGU:

A
  • Deal with impairment of any specific assets within the CGU first.
  • then apply write down on Goodwill
  • Followed by other assets on a pro-rata basis.
78
Q

How to do a journal to reflect impairment:

A

PPE: Credit
Statement of P/L: Debit

Or for CGU:
Goodwill: Credit (if there is Goodwill
PPE and other assets: each Credit (pro rata)
Statement of P/L: Debit

79
Q

How to do a journal to reflect impairment:

A

80
Q

How to recognise impairment in the financial statements (journals) when there has been a revaluation surplus of the asset in the past:

A

Revaluation Surplus often shows as Other Comprehensive Income.
This needs to be debited firdt

Then debit Statement of P/L.
