Historical cost measures the cash or cash equivalent price of
obtaining the asset and bringing it to the location and condition
necessary for its intended use.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY, PLANT,
AND EQUIPMENT (PP&E)
In general, costs include:
1. Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable
purchase taxes, less trade discounts and rebates.

 Consistent with historical cost.
 Capitalization considers three items:
1. Qualifying assets.
2. Capitalization period.
3. Amount to capitalize.

10-20
Require a substantial period of time to get them ready for
their intended use or sale.
Two types of assets:
 Assets under construction for a company’s own use.
 Assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed or
produced as discrete projects.
Qualifying Assets
LO 4

10-21
Capitalization Period
Begins when:
1. Expenditures for the assets are being incurred.
2. Activities for readying the asset for use or sale are
in progress .
3. Interest costs are being incurred.
Ends when:
The asset is substantially complete and ready for use.
LO 4

10-22
Amount to Capitalize
Capitalize the lesser of:
1. Actual interest cost incurred.
2. Avoidable interest - the amount of interest cost during
the period that a company could theoretically avoid if it
had not made expenditures for the asset.
LO 4

10-23
Illustration: Assume a company borrowed $200,000 at 12% interest
from State Bank on Jan. 1, 2015, for specific purposes of constructing
special-purpose equipment to be used in its operations. Construction on
the equipment began on Jan. 1, 2015, and the following expenditures
were made prior to the project’s completion on Dec. 31, 2015:
Actual Expenditures during 2015:
January 1 $ 100,000
April 30 150,000
November 1 300,000
December 31 100,000
Total expenditures $ 650,000
Other general debt existing on
Jan. 1, 2015:
$500,000, 14%, 10-year
bonds payable
$300,000, 10%, 5-year
note payable
LO 4

10-24
Step 1 - Determine which assets qualify for capitalization of
interest.
Special purpose equipment qualifies because it requires a period of
time to get ready and it will be used in the company’s operations.
Step 2 - Determine the capitalization period.
The capitalization period is from Jan. 1, 2015 through Dec. 31, 2015,
because expenditures are being made and interest costs are being
incurred during this period while construction is taking place.

A company weights the construction expenditures by the amount of time
(fraction of a year or accounting period) that it can incur interest cost on the
expenditure.
Step 3 - Compute weighted-average accumulated expenditures.
LO 4

10-26
Selecting Appropriate Interest Rate:
1. For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures
that is less than or equal to any amounts borrowed specifically to
finance construction of the assets, use the interest rate incurred on
the specific borrowings.
2. For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures
that is greater than any debt incurred specifically to finance
construction of the assets, use a weighted average of interest
rates incurred on all other outstanding debt during the period.
Step 4 - Compute the Actual and Avoidable Interest.

Special Issues Related to Interest Capitalization
1. Expenditures for Land
 If land is purchased as a site for a structure, interest
costs capitalized during the period of construction are
part of the cost of the plant, not the land.
 Conversely, if the company develops land for lot sales,
it includes any capitalized interest cost as part of the
acquisition cost of the developed land.
2. Interest Revenue
 In general, companies should not offset interest revenue
against interest cost unless earned on specific borrowings.
LO 4

10-37
How do statement users determine the impact of interest capitalization
on a company’s bottom line? They examine the notes to the financial
statements. Companies with material interest capitalization must
disclose the amounts of capitalized interest relative to total interest
costs. For example, Royal Dutch Shell (GBR and NLD) capitalized
nearly 42 percent of its total interest costs in a recent year and provided
the following footnote related to capitalized interest.

Cash Discounts — Discounts for prompt payment.
Deferred-Payment Contracts — Assets purchased on
long-term credit contracts are valued at the present value of the

Lump-Sum Purchases — Allocate the total cost among the
various assets on the basis of their relative fair market values.
Issuance of Shares — The market price of the shares issued
is a fair indication of the cost of the property acquired.

Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets
Companies should recognize immediately any gains or losses on
the exchange when the transaction has commercial substance.
VALUATION OF PP&E
LO 5

10-42
Meaning of Commercial Substance
Exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows
change as a result of the transaction. That is, if the two parties’
economic positions change, the transaction has commercial
substance.
ILLUSTRATION 10-10
Accounting for Exchanges
LO 5

10-43
Companies recognize a loss immediately whether the exchange
has commercial substance or not.
Rationale: Companies should not value assets at more than their
cash equivalent price; if the loss were deferred, assets would be
overstated.
Exchanges—Loss Situation
LO 5

Illustration: Information Processing, Inc. trades its used machine for a
new model at Jerrod Business Solutions Inc. The exchange has
commercial substance. The used machine has a book value of €8,000
(original cost €12,000 less €4,000 accumulated depreciation) and a fair
value of €6,000. The new model lists for €16,000. Jerrod gives
Information Processing a trade-in allowance of €9,000 for the used
machine. Information Processing computes the cost of the new asset

Government Grants are assistance received from a
government in the form of transfers of resources to a
company in return for past or future compliance with certain
conditions relating to the operating activities of the
company.
IFRS requires grants to be recognized in income (income
approach) on a systematic basis that matches them with the
related costs that they are intended to compensate.

Example 1: Grant for Lab Equipment. AG Company received a
€500,000 subsidy from the government to purchase lab equipment
on January 2, 2015. The lab equipment cost is €2,000,000, has a
useful life of five years, and is depreciated on the straight-line
basis.
IFRS allows AG to record this grant in one of two ways:
1. Credit Deferred Grant Revenue for the subsidy and amortize
the deferred grant revenue over the five-year period.
2. Credit the lab equipment for the subsidy and depreciate this
amount over the five-year period.
Government Grants
LO 5

10-54
Example 1: Grant for Lab Equipment. If AG chooses to record
deferred revenue of €500,000, it amortizes this amount over the
five-year period to income (€100,000 per year). The effects on the

Sometimes an asset’s service is terminated through some type of
involuntary conversion such as fire, flood, theft, or condemnation.
Companies report the difference between the amount recovered
(e.g., from a condemnation award or insurance recovery), if any,
and the asset’s book value as a gain or loss.
They treat these gains or losses like any other type of disposition.
