Relation to weeks 2 and 3
Conceptual framework: general principles about
definition,
recognition and
measurement
of assets and liabilities.
Now we look at specific accounting standards in relation to aparticular type of assets:
property, plant and equipment (PPE) (AASB 116).
Including tax implications (AASB 112).

Overview AASB 116:
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) Definition
Initial recognition of an asset
Subsequent measurement:
Depreciation:- allocating the depreciable amount of a non-current asset over the
asset’s expected useful life;
- factors that must be considered in determining the useful life of adepreciable asset;
- various approaches (straight-line, sum-of-digits, declining balance,
production basis) for this allocation; Cost Model
Revaluation Model
Derecognition
Disclosure requirements

The nature of PPE
AASB 116 defines PPE as:
tangible items;
with a specific use within the entity;
that are expected to be used during more than one period (ie. theyare non-current in nature).
AASB 116 specifically excludes:
assets held for sale – AASB 5
biological assets – AASB 141
mineral rights/reserves – AASB 6
For some purposes, PPE is divided into classes, e.g.
land, buildings, machinery, ships, aircraft, motor vehicles, furnitureand fixtures, office equipment.
also special rulesfor investment

Initial recognition of PPE
Cost recognised as an asset if:
it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity,and
the cost can be reliably measured.
Where future economic benefits are not expected to flow to theentity, costs incurred should be expensed.
Component parts (with different useful lives) are required to be
separately accounted for:
for example, an aircraft:
- the engine, frame and fittings of an aircraft are likely to havedifferent useful lives.

Initial measurement of PPE
PPE is initially measured at cost, which includes:
purchase price (at fair value);
directly attributable costs required to bring the asset to thelocation and condition necessary for it to operate;
borrowing costs (AASB 123);
Initial estimate of costs of dismantling, removing the item orrestoring the site.
includes duties and taxes but excludes rebates and discounts
for example, an offshore oil platform

Directly attributable costs
„Directly attributable costs‟ include
a) costs of employee benefits arising from the construction oracquisition of the item of property, plant and equipment;
b) costs of site preparation;
c) initial delivery and handling costs;
d) installation and assembly costs;
e) costs of testing whether asset is functioning properly, after
deducting the net proceeds from selling any itemsproduced while bringing the asset to that location andcondition (e.g. samples);
f) professional fees.

Measurement subsequent to initial
recognition AASB 116 allows a choice of two possible measurement models:
cost model;
revaluation model.
Accounting policy choice of this decision based primarily on relevanceof information.
The policy that is chosen must be applied to a whole class of assets.
May change policy, but only if it results in reliable and more relevantinformation.
Under both models, PPE with a limited useful life need to bedepreciated.
Each model will be discussed in detaillater
Refer to section 7.6 of text for examples of what constitutes a class of assets

Depreciation – fundamentals
AASB 116 includes the following definitions:
Depreciation:
the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of anasset over its useful life.
Depreciable amount:
the cost of an asset less its residual value (or otherappropriate amounts substituted for cost – eg. fair value).
Residual value:
the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life tothe entity.
Useful life:
the period over which an asset is expected to be used by anentity/the number of production (or similar) units expected tobe obtained by the entity.

121212
Depreciation – fundamentals (cont‟d)
Depreciation is an allocation process designed to reflect thedecline in the value of the asset in a pattern consistent with theconsumption of economic benefits by the entity.
AASB 116 does not specify how this allocation process shouldbe undertaken.
Various depreciation methods are used in practice. Commonmethods are discussed on the following slides.
Please note that depreciation applies to both the cost and therevaluation model!
In all cases, depreciation expense isrecognised with the following journal:
DR Depreciation expense
CR Accumulated depreciation

Depreciation – common methods
Straight-line method:
assumption: asset used evenly throughout its life;
this method is appropriate when benefits to be derived from
the asset are expected to be evenly received throughout theasset’s useful life;
annual depreciation amount:
cost (or revalued amount)- residual (salvage) valueuseful life

Depreciation – common methods(cont‟d)
Diminishing balance method:
assumption: more benefits received in earlier years of thelife of asset;
depreciation expense is calculated on the asset’s opening
written-down value x depreciation rate;
written-down value:
- cost (or revalued amount) less accumulated depreciation;
depreciation rate:

151515
Depreciation – common methods(cont‟d)
Units of production method:
based on expected use or output of asset;
depreciation expense for the period is calculated as:
units produced in current period
total expected production cost or revalued amt - residual value

161616
Depreciation – common methods(cont‟d)
Sum-of-digits method:
this method is appropriate where useful life might be relatedmore to production output than time and when economic
benefits expected to be derived are greater in the earlyyears than later years
depreciation expense:
- (cost - residual value) is multiplied by successively smallerfractions to calculate depreciation expense;
- numerator in fraction - changes each year, and is the yearsremaining of the asset’s useful life at the beginning of the
period;
- example for the 2nd year if useful life = 5 years:
(cost or revalued amt residual value) 4
15 (=1+2+3+4+5)

Depreciation – useful life
Management should consider the following factors whenestimating the useful life of an asset:
expected use;
physical wear and tear;
technical or commercial obsolescence;
legal or similar limits.
Useful life is subject to periodic review.
Land is not subject to depreciation as it does not have a limiteduseful life.

The cost model
AASB 116 requires that assets are carried at cost less anyaccumulated:
depreciation;
impairment losses.
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, notcapitalised.
Capitalisation requires (at time of expenditure) increased
probable future economic benefit: for example, replacement of car engine.

The revaluation model - fundamentals
As an alternative to the cost model AASB 116 allows therevaluation model to be used for classes of assets.
Revaluation: adjustment of PPE’s carrying amount so that it
reflects its current fair value.
Measurement basis is fair value (FV).
Frequency of revaluations is not specified, but must beperformed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying
amount of assets is not materially different from their FV. Revaluation performed on a class basis.
Accounting performed on an asset-by-asset basis.

The revaluation model:revaluation increments
Increments are
credited to equity: “asset revaluation surplus” (ARS) account;
through other comprehensive income (OCI);
not part of profit/loss (P&L) for the year.
The revaluation of plant A would be recorded as follows:
Dr Accum. depreciation 100,000 *
Cr Plant 50,000 **Cr Gain on revaluation (OCI) 50,000 ***
* Removal of existingaccumulated depreciation
** Cost - FV(200,000 – 150,000) = 50,000 *** Amount of increment

The revaluation model:revaluation increments (cont‟d)
AASB 116 requires the tax effects of the revaluation to be consideredand the ARS account to be recognised net of the resulting tax effect.
This is achieved by debiting a special type of income tax expense as
part of other comprehensive income (OCI) and crediting a deferred taxliability (DTL).
An upwards revaluation of an asset creates a taxable temporarydifference (TTD) leading to a deferred tax liability (DTL).
For plant A this would be calculated as:
CA – TB = TTD x 30% = DTL
150,000 – 100,000 = 50,000 x 30% = 15,000
Based on new FV of asset

are the same

The revaluation model:revaluation decrements
The accounting treatment of a revaluation decrement is asfollows:
immediate recognition of an expense;
no extra tax-effect entries beyond the tax-effect worksheet.
The revaluation of Plant B would be recorded as follows:
Dr Accum. depreciation 40,000 *Dr Loss on revaluation (P&L) 20,000 **
Cr Plant 60,000 ****Removal of existingaccumulated depreciation
***Cost - FV
(140,000 – 80,000) = 60,000
**Amount of decrement
Please note: The loss on revaluation (P&L) leads to a temporary difference and deferred taxesas well. However, since it is part of the accounting profit (P&L) we deal with it together with
all other differences between accounting profit and taxable income (see week 3 topic).

The revaluation model:depreciation of revalued assets
When an asset is revalued, the depreciation chargeto be recorded over the remaining useful life of theasset is recalculated by reference to the fair value of
the asset.

The revaluation model:comprehensive example (cont‟d)
The company has adopted the revaluation model for the measurementof all property, plant and equipment. This has resulted in therecognition in previous periods of an asset revaluation surplus for thebuilding of $ 14,000. The plant consists of a machine purchased on the
1 July, 2010. On 30 June 2011, an independent valuer assessed thefair value of the building to be $160,000 and the plant to be $ 90,000.The income tax rate is 30%.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries to revalue the building and the plant as at
30 June 2011.2. Assume that the building and plant had remaining useful lives of 5 years
and 4 years respectively, with zero residual value. Prepare the journalentries to record depreciation expense for the year ended 30 June 2012using the straight line method.

The revaluation model:transfers from ARS
Transfers may be made from the ARS in the followingcircumstances:
When a revalued asset is derecognised (ie scrapped or
sold) → the balance in the ARS may be transferred toretained earnings.
When a revalued asset is being depreciated → the ARS
may be progressively transferred to retained earnings overthe useful life of the asset.
Bonus share issues may be made from the ARS

Choosing between the models
There is a cost disincentive to adopt the revaluationmodel (Australian experience).
Cost model harmonises with U.S. GAAP.
Revaluation model provides increased relevance &reliability.

Accounting for gains/losses fromderecognition
Note: Assets classified ‘held for sale’ are treated according to AASB 5→ the following applies only to PPE which has not been classified as
‘held for sale’.
Gain or loss from derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is to be calculated as the difference between (AASB 116):
net disposal proceeds (if any); and
the asset’s carrying amount.
Derecognition
the point in time when an asset is removed from the statement of financial
position (balance sheet):
- when an asset is sold; or
- when no future economic benefits are expected from an asset’s use or
disposal.

Accounting for gains/losses fromderecognition (cont‟d)
Example:
A Ltd acquired a machine on 1 July 2007 for $50,000;
Useful life = 4 years; residual value = $10,000;

Accounting for gains/losses fromderecognition (cont‟d)
When an revalued asset is sold, any resultingbalance in the revaluation surplus (AASB 116)
may be transferred directly to retained earnings;
cannot be transferred to profit/loss (i.e. the so-called‘recycling’ is not allowed);
hence, for non-current assets under the revaluationmodel any gain on sale shown in profit/loss will be less
than for assets under the cost model.
