Q

What is depreciation?

A

Depreciation is the accounting process of allocating the cost of tangible assets to expense in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of the asset.
It applies to all plant assets except for land.

20
Q

Allocating costs of long-lived assets:

A
  • Fixed assets = Depreciation expense
  • Intangibles = Amortization expense
  • Mineral resources = Depletion expense
21
Q

Three important factors of depreciation:

A

COST - All expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use
Useful life - Estimate of the expected life based on need for repair, service life, and vulnerability to obsolescence (podatność na starzenie się)
Residual value - Estimate (oszacować) of the asset’s value at the end of its useful life

22
Q

Depreciation methods:

A

Management selects the method it believes best
measures an asset’s contribution to revenue over its
useful life. Examples include:
1) Straight-line method
2) Units-of-activity method
3) Declining-balance method

23
Q

Straight-line method:

A
  • Expense is same amount for each year
  • Depreciable base = Cost less residual value
24
Q

Units-of-Activity Method:

A
  • Companies estimate total units of activity to calculate depreciation cost per unit
  • Expense varies based on units of activity
  • Depreciable cost is cost less salvage value
  • Often referred (odniesione) to as units-of-production method
25
Q

Declining- Balance Method

A
  • Accelerated (przyspieszona) method
  • Decreasing annual depreciation expense over asset’s useful life
  • Double declining- balance rate is double the straight-line rate
  • Rate applied to book value
26
Q

Depreciation and income taxes:

A
  • Tax laws do not require taxpayer to use the same depreciation method on the tax return that is used in preparing financial statements
  • Many companies use straight-line in their financial statements to maximize net income.
  • They also use an accelerated depreciation method on their tax returns to minimize their income taxes.
27
Q

Disposals (znaczenie)

A

zbycie

28
Q

Companies dispose of plant assets in three ways:

A
  • Retirement (wycofanie): Equipment is scrapped (złomowany) or discarded (wyrzucany)
  • Sale: Equipment is sold to another party
  • Exchange: Equipment is traded for new equipment
29
Q

How record depreciation?

A

Record depreciation up to the date of disposal.

30

Q

Retirement (znaczenie)

A

wycofanie z użytku

32
Q

Retirement:

A
  • no cash is received
  • Decrease (debit) Accumulated Depreciation for full amount of depreciation taken over life of asset
  • Decrease (credit) asset account for original cost of asset
33
Q

Sale:

A
  • Compare the book value of the asset with the proceeds received from the sale.
  • If proceeds exceed the book value, a gain on disposal occurs; if proceeds are less than the book value, a loss on disposal occurs (Jeżeli wpływy przekraczają wartość księgową, następuje zysk ze zbycia; jeśli wpływy są niższe niż wartość księgowa, następuje strata ze zbycia)
34
Q

Natural resources:

A
  • Natural resources consist of standing timber (drewno) and underground deposits of oil, gas, and minerals
  • Distinguishing characteristics:
  • Physically extracted in operations
  • Replaceable only by an act of nature
  • Cost is the price needed to acquire the resource and
    prepare it for its intended use.
35
Q

Depletion:

A
  • The allocation of the cost to expense in a rational and systematic manner over the resource’s useful life.
  • Companies generally use units-of-activity method
  • Depletion generally is a function of the units extracted
    Total cost - residual value/ total estimated units available = depletion cost per unit
36

Q

Research and Development Costs:
Expense vs. Capitalize

A
  • research costs must be expansed as incurred
  • development costs may or may not be expensed as incurred
  • capitalization begins when the project is far enough along in the process such that the economic benefits of the R&D project will flow to the company (the project is economically viable)
