Plant Asset Expenditures
IAS 16-Plant assets are resources that have
‱ physical substance (a definite size and shape),
‱ are used in the operations of a business,
‱ are not intended for sale to customers,
‱ are expected to provide service to the company for a
number of years, except for land.
Referred to as property, plant, and equipment; plant
and equipment; and fixed assets.

The Cost of Plant Assets (1 of 10)
Historical Cost Principle
‱ Requires that companies record plant assets at cost
‱ Cost consists of all expenditures necessary to
acquire an asset and make it ready for its intended
use

The Cost of Plant Assets (2 of 10)
Land
All necessary costs incurred in making land ready for its
intended use increase (debit) the Land account.
Costs typically include:
1. cash purchase price
2. closing costs such as title and attorney’s fees
3. real estate brokers’ commissions
4. accrued property taxes and other liens on land
assumed by purchaser

The Cost of Plant Assets (3 of 10)
Illustration: Lew Ltd. acquires real estate at a cash cost of
HK$2,000,000. The property contains an old warehouse that is
razed at a net cost of HK$60,000 (HK$75,000 in costs less
HK$15,000 proceeds from salvaged materials). Additional
expenditures are the attorney’s fee, HK$10,000, and the real
estate broker’s commission, HK$80,000. Determine the
amount to be reported as the cost of the land.

Kalkidan S.
Assume that Jing Feng Heating and Cooling purchases a
delivery truck for „150,000 cash, plus sales taxes of „9,000
and delivery costs of „5,000. The buyer also pays „2,000 for
painting and lettering, „6,000 for an annual insurance policy,
and „800 for a motor vehicle license. Explain how each of
these costs would be accounted for.
Solution
‱ The first four payments („150,000, „9,000, „5,000, and
„2,000) are included in the cost of the truck („166,000)
‱ The payments for insurance and the license are operating
costs and therefore are expensed

Apply Depreciation Methods to Plant

16
Kalkidan S.
Depreciation Methods
Depreciation
Process of allocating to expense the cost of a plant asset
over its useful life in a rational and systematic manner.
‱ Process of cost allocation, not asset valuation
‱ Applies to land improvements, buildings, and
equipment, not land
‱ Depreciable, because the revenue-producing ability
of asset will decline over the asset’s useful life
17
Kalkidan S.
Factors in Computing Depreciation
Depreciation expense is reported on the income statement. Accumulated
depreciation is reported on the balance sheet as a deduction from plant
assets.
18
Kalkidan S.
Depreciation Methods (1 of 2)
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.
19
Kalkidan S.
Illustration: Barb’s Florists purchased a small delivery truck on
January 1, 2020.

Expected salvage value € 1,000
Estimated useful life in years 5
Estimated useful life in miles 100,000
Required: Compute depreciation using the following.
(a) Straight-Line (b) Units-of-Activity (c) Declining Balance

Component Depreciation (1 of 2)
‱ IFRS requires component depreciation for plant
assets
‱ Any significant parts of a plant asset that have
significantly different estimated useful lives should
be separately depreciated
32
Kalkidan S.
Component Depreciation (2 of 2)
Illustration: Lexure Construction builds an office building for
HK$4,000,000, not including the cost of the land. If the
HK$4,000,000 is allocated over the 40-year useful life of the
building, Lexure reports HK$100,000 (HK$4,000,000 Ă· 40) of
depreciation per year, assuming straight-line depreciation and no
residual value. However, assume that HK$320,000 of the cost of the
building relates to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
system and HK$600,000 relates to flooring. Because the HVAC
system has a depreciable life of five years and the flooring has a
depreciable life of 10 years, Lexure must use component
depreciation. It must reclassify HK$320,000 of the cost of the
building to the HVAC system and HK$600,000 to the cost of flooring.

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.

Revaluation of Plant Assets (1 of 5)
‱ IFRS allows companies to revalue plant assets to fair

‱ Assets that are experiencing rapid price changes must
be revalued on an annual basis

48
Kalkidan S.
Companies dispose of plant assets in three ways —
1. Retirement: Equipment is scrapped or discarded
2. Sale: Equipment is sold to another party
3. Exchange: Equipment is traded for new equipment
Record depreciation up to the date of disposal.
Eliminate asset by (1) debiting Accumulated
Depreciation, and (2) crediting the asset account.

exchange of plant assets
‱ Most exchanges have commercial substance
‱ Commercial substance if future cash flows change as

IFRS 6-Natural resources consist of standing timber 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.
Natural Resources and Intangible Assets
66
Kalkidan S.
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
Depletion (1 of 3)
Total Cost - Residual Value
=
Depletion Cost
per Unit
Total Estimated Units Available
Total Cost - Residual Value

HK$50,000,000 = HK$5.00 per ton

Illustration: Lane Coal Company invests HK$50 million in a
mine estimated to have 10 million tons of coal and no residual
value. Compute the depletion cost per unit.

Kalkidan S.
Illustration: Lane Coal Company invests HK$50 million in a
mine estimated to have 10 million tons of coal and no residual
value. In the first year, Lane extracts and sells 250,000 tons of
coal. Lane computes the depletion as follows:
HK$50,000,000 Ă· 10,000,000 = HK$5.00 depletion cost per ton
HK$5.00 x 250,000 = HK$1,250,000 annual depletion
Journal entry:

that result from ownership of long-lived assets that do
not possess physical substance.
Limited life or an indefinite life.
Common types of intangibles:

Limited-Life Intangibles:
‱ Amortize to expense
‱ Credit asset account or accumulated amortization
Indefinite-Life Intangibles:
‱ No foreseeable limit on time asset is expected to
provide cash flow
‱ No amortization

Patents
‱ Amortize to expense

control an invention for 20 years from date of grant
‱ Capitalize costs of purchasing a patent and amortize
over 20-year life or its useful life, whichever is shorter
‱ Expense any R&D costs in developing a patent
‱ Legal fees incurred successfully defending a patent
are capitalized to Patents account

However, assume that HK$320,000 of the cost of the building relates to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and HK$600,000 relates to flooring. Because the HVAC system has a depreciable life of five years and the flooring has a depreciable life of 10 years, Lexure must use component depreciation. It must reclassify HK$320,000 of the cost of the building to the HVAC system and HK$600,000 to the cost of flooring. 33 Kalkidan S.
