Q

Q

What if the residual value is greater than the carrying amount?

A

If the residual value is GREATER than the carrying amount the depreciation charge is Zero.

Q

Explain IMPAIRMENT?

A

An asset may be impaired if its RECOVERABLE AMOUNT is less than its CARRYING AMOUNT in the financial statements.

Indications that an asset may be impaired include:-
* obvious damage
* obsolescence
* lack of use, so that the asset is not creating value for the entity.

Q

Explain the RECOVERABLE AMOUNT ?

A

Represents the best use of the assets and is the higher of :-

  • NET SELLING VALUE - fair value less costs of disposal
    or
  • VALUE IN USE - generated income by continuing to use the asset in the business AND disposal of asset.

Q

When should subsequent expenditure be CAPITALISED for PPE?

A

PPE - subsequent expenditure should be capitalised when:-

  • the expenditure improves the future economic benefits that the asset will generate
  • it replaces a component of an asset and the carrying amount of the component replaced is DERECOGNISED e.g. overhaul of a furnace or a roof (where both are separately identified as assets)
  • it is the cost of a major inspection for faults and the carrying amount of the previous insepection is derecognised.

The costs of day-to-day servicing should be recognised in the SOPL (expense)

Q

Changes in useful life and residual value?

A

Any change in the useful life or residual value will result in adjustments to the depreciation charge for current or future periods - it is a change in accounting estimates. Formula:-

Cost - residual value / useful life

17
Q

If the % for depreciation is not given how do you calculate it?

A

Cost - Residual value / useful life

18
Q

What does IAS 16 require entities to apply?

A

COST MODEL - Carrying amount = cost

REVALUATION MODEL - Carrying amount = fair value

Both Less:- Accumulated depreciation
Less:- Accumulated impairment loss

19
Q

An entity may decide to use the two models for measuring assets however?

A

must make sure that each class of assets uses the same model i.e.

  • use the cost model for P&M
    and
  • revaluation model for L&B
20
Q

On acquiring an asset what estimates are made?

A

Estimates are made on its USEFUL LIFE and RESIDUAL VALUE.

Subsequently it may be appropriate to REVISE these estimates.

21
Q

The revalued amount of an asset is?

A

The assets FAIR VALUE at the date of revaluation.

22
Q

What does revaluing to fair value mean?

A

It means that the item of PPE will reflect the current value of the asset at the point the REVALUATION occurs.

23
Q

Where does the REVALUATION SURPLUS sit in the financial statements?

A

REVALUATION SURPLUS - sits in the SOPL in

Other comprehensive income - which includes income (gains) and expenses (losses) that are not recognised in profit or loss (they are recorded in reserves rather than an element of the profit)

24
Q

What are the key revaluation issues to remember?

A
  • If an asset is revalued, any accumulated depreciation up to the date of the revaluation should be reversed. This will increase the revaluation surplus. The revaluation surplus is also described as the REVALUATION RESERVE
  • Depreciation will then be calculated based on the revalued amount.
  • Revaluations must be made for the whole of the class of assets
  • The frequency of revaluations will depend upon the volatility of the fair values of the asset class. The more volatile, the more frequent the revaluation.
25
Q

What are the steps to account for a revaluation?

A
  1. Restate asset cost to the revalued amount.
  2. Remove any existing accumulated depreciation.
  3. Transfer the increase in the cost account and the existing accumulated depreciation to the revaluation surplus account within equity.
  4. Recalculate current year’s depreciation on the revalued amount if applicable. If the revaluation takes place at the end of the year, the depreciation charge will be affected in future years. If the revaluation occurs at the start of the year then depreciation will be affected in the current year. Depreciation will be calculated as the revalued amount, over the remaining useful life. The remaining life is taken from the date of the revaluation.
26
Q

What should you do if an asset is classed as HELD FOR SALE based on IFRS 5?

A
  • Depreciation should cease
  • The asset should be moved to current assets (below the sub total of the other current assets)
  • hold at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
  • Record the loss in SOPL
