Explain the “exchange” acquisition of PPE and its journal entries.

A

When a PPE is acquired through exchange, determine first whether the transaction HAS COMMERCIAL SUBSTANCE.

  1. If transaction HAS COMMERCIAL SUBSTANCE:

a. FV of asset GIVEN PLUS CASH PAYMENT
b. FV of asset GIVEN MINUS CASH RECEIVED on the part of the RECIPIENT OF CASH.

  1. If transaction LACKS COMMERCIAL SUBSTANCE or the FV OF THE ASSET IS NOT RELIABLY MEASUREABLE:

The exchange is recognized at CARRYING AMOUNT OF THE ASSET GIVEN, PLUS/MINUS CASH, if any.

Trade-in is a form of exchange. It involves a NONDEALER acquiring asset from a DEALER, and it usually involves CASH, and therefore has commercial substance. The new PPE is recorded in the following order of priority:

20
Q

What is the treatment of savings or loss on construction of a PPE?

A

It is not reflected in the amount of PPE constructed, but rather closed to income or loss.

  1. When there is no more future economic benefits expected from the use of the PPE
22
Q

How is assessed value (taxation) used in valuation of land and building?

A

When initially recording land and building, ASSESSED VALUE IS NOT ITS FAIR VALUE, therefore, other options must be considered in its recording. However, the assessed value may be used in calculating the allocation to land and building when it is acquired using basket price.

23
Q

In self-constructed asset, what shall be the basis when computing for OH allocation for the PPE wherein the OH cannot be calculated or is not given?

A

The Direct Labor shall be the basis in allocating OH for the PPE.

24
Q

In acquisition by exchange, if the asset given has no FV but there is cash paid out, how shall the asset received be measured?

A

In the following order:

1. FV of asset received WITHOUT CASH PAID

25
Q

T or F

In installing new machinery, the cost of removing the old machinery is added to the cost of new machinery.

A

Treated as a a deduction from the initial cost of the new machine.

28

  2. If the old building is UNUSABLE, the single cost is allocated to land only.
29
Q

Under PIC interpretations, what is the treatment when land and an old building are purchased at a single cost, and the old building is to be demolished immediately to make room for a new building?

A
  1. Any allocated carrying amount of the USABLE old building is recognized as a loss if the new building is to be accounted for as PPE or investment property
  2. Any allocated carrying amount of the UNUSABLE old building is CAPITALIZED as cost of the new building if it will be carried on as INVENTORY
  3. The demolition cost minus salvage value is capitalized as cost of the new building
  4. Net demolition costs are capitalized as cost of the land if no new building is to be constructed
30
Q

Under PIC interpretations, what is the treatment when an entity has land and an old building, and the old building is to be demolished immediately to make room for a new building?
