PPE Flashcards

1
Q

What is PPE, what is its initial cost and when must it be recognised

A

IAS16: PPE defined as tangible items that are held for use in production of supply or admin purposes AND expected to be used for more than one period

PPE must be recognised when future economic benefits probable and costs can be measured reliably

Initial cost of PPE: purchase price and directly attributed costs (delivery installation) to bringing asset to location on condition necessary (include import duty remove trade discount)

Q

What 4 costs are excluded/included in measuring PPE

A

Excluded costs- doesn’t add to asset value and should be an expense in SPL for example admin cost or general overheads (electricity)

Incidental income (income before asset is ready)- not deducted from cost but recorded in other income in SPL (e.g. Construction site used for parking)

Subsequent cost- additional costs after initial purchase is capitalised (added to value) if meet recognition criteria i.e. Provide future economic benefits (improvements)

Do not capitalise on 3 Rs (renew, renovate, repaint)

Q

What are borrowing costs and can you capitalise

A

Cost incurred to borrow funds to construct asset. You can capitalise as part of qualifying asset (takes substantial time to prep) which is directly attributable. They are suspended in times of inactivity and cease when complete

Q

What borrowing costs can be capitalised (list 3)

A

Costs which would have been avoided if expenditure on qualifying assets was not made

Borrowing specific to asset= Borrowing costs incurred - income from temporary investment of surplus borrowings

Funds taken from general borrowings=Weighted average cost of borrowing x expenditure on asset (time apportion)

Q

Give the 2 depreciation models and their formulas

A

Cost model and revaluation model

Under cost model: Carrying Amount= cost- a. dep - a. impairment

Under reval model: FV at reval- subsequent a. dep- subsequent a. impairment

Q

What is the double entry for upward revaluation

A

Increasing asset value

Dr Cost of asset (to FV)
Dr A. dep
Cr Revaluation Surplus (FV- carrying amount)

unless CA< FC < Historic Cost
Dr A. dep
Cr Cost
Cr Revaluation Surplus

Q

Formula for depreciation charge for revalued asset? What does upward revaluation lead to?

A

(Revalued amount - estimated residual value) / remaining useful life

leads to fall in subsequent period profit and reducing retained earning

Q

Downward revaluation double entry

A
  1. When not previously upward revalued- decrease in value of asset is recognised in SPL

 Dr SPL (balancing figure: carrying amount- fair value)
 Cr carrying amount of asset

  1. When it has been upward revaluation-

 Dr revaluation surplus (by amount it has changed)
 Dr SPL (balancing figure)
 Cr carrying amount of asset

Q

Give examples of internal and external indications of impairment

A

External Indications of impairment (IAS36)
o Decline in MV more than expected
o Significant change in tech, market, legal and economic environment (reduce future economic benefit), change in government policy, increase in interest rate (affects discount rate used in PV)

Internal Indications of impairment
o Damage
o Sustainability policy of entity (such as reducing emissions)
o Evidence suggests asset will not perform as expected

Q

Give double entry for impairment loss (cost/revaluation model) and explain what impairment is

A

When CA falls below recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is greater of
 FV - cost to sell
 Value in use= present value of future cash flows expected to be generated

Cost model:
o Dr SPL (expense)
o Cr Carrying amount of asset

Reval. Model:
o Dr revaluation Surplus
o Dr SPL (balancing figure- expense)
o Cr carrying amount

if reval surplus is at 100 but impairment led to value of asset falling to 50, reduce reval surplus by 50

Q

When is a NCA classified as held for sale? (4)

A

If carrying amount recovered through sale than through use.

Asset must be available for immediate sale in present condition, sale must be highly probable (active sale within 12 months) and plan unlikely to be changed

Q

How do you value assets with cost model when held for sale? (3 steps) What about reval model

A

Measure at lower of carrying amount and FV - cost to sell
 If fair value option used then recognise of impairment loss
Cease depreciation
Present asset separately in SFP (under subtotal of current assets)
 Record any gain in SPL like normal

For reval model, before step one you should revalue asset and charge the difference to impairment loss

Q

Under IAS 16 (PPE) what should be disclosed (3) and under IAS36 (2)

A

IAS16
o Disclose measurement bases (cost or revaluation)
o Depreciation method and useful life
o Changes in accounting estimates and PPE reconciliation

IAS36:
o Amount of impairment loss charged to SFP and line in SFP which this is included
o Amount of impairment loss on revalued assets recognised as a reduction in revaluation surplus
