Fixed Assets and
Intangible AssetsAccounting
Alex Socratis
Some of the action has been automated,
so click the mouse when you see this
lightning bolt in the lower right-hand
corner of the screen. You can point and
click anywhere on the screen.
1. Define fixed assets and describe the accounting for their cost.
2. Compute depreciation, using the following methods: straight-line method, units-of-production method, and declining-balance method.
3. Classify fixed asset costs as either capital expenditures or revenue expenditures.
4. Journalize entries for the disposal of fixed assets.
5. Define a lease and summarize the accounting rules related to the leasing of fixed assets.
Objectives
After studying this
chapter, you should
be able to:
6. Describe internal controls over fixed assets.
7. Compute depletion and journalize the entry for
depletion.
8. Describe the accounting for intangible assets,
such as patents, copyrights, and goodwill.
9. Describe how depreciation expense is
reported in an income statement, and prepare
a balance sheet that includes fixed assets and
intangible assets.
10. Compute and interpret the ratio of fixed assets
to long-term debt.
Objectives
Nature of Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are long term or
relatively permanent assets
Fixed assets are tangible assets
because they exist physically.
They are owned and used by the
business and are not held for sale
as part of normal operations.

Nature of Depreciation
All fixed assets except land lose their capacity
to provide services. This loss of productive
capacity is recognized as Depreciation Expense.
Physical depreciation occurs from wear and tear
while in use and from the action of the weather.
Functional depreciation occurs when a fixed asset is
longer able to provide services at the level for
which it was intended, e.g., personal computer.

Facts
Original Cost.....………….. $24,000
Estimated Life in years….. 5 years
Estimated Life in hours….. 10,000
Estimated Residual Value... $2,000
Straight-Line Method
Cost – estimated residual value
Estimated life
= Annual depreciation
Straight-Line Method
$24,000 – $2,000
5 years
= $4,400 annual depreciation
Straight-Line Rate
$24,000 – $2,000
5 years= $4,400
$4,400
$24,000= 18.3%
Straight-Line Method
The straight-line method is widely used by
firms because it is simple and it provides a
reasonable transfer of cost to periodic
expenses if the asset is used about the
same from period to period.

Straight-Line Method
Units-of-Production Method
Cost – estimated residual value
Estimated life in units, hours, etc.
= Depreciation per unit, hour, etc.
$24,000 – $2,000
10,000 hours
= Depreciation per unit, hour, etc.= $2.20 per hour
Units-of-Production Method
The units-of-production method
is more appropriate than the
straight-line method when the
amount of use of a fixed asset
varies from year to year.
Units-of-Production Method
Declining-Balance Method
Step 1
Ignoring residual value,
determine the straight-line rate
= $4,800$24,000 – $2,000
5 years
$4,800
$24,000= 20%
There’s a shortcut. Simply
divide one by the number of
years (1 ÷ 5 = .20).
Declining-Balance Method
Double the straight-line rate.
Step 2
.20 x 2 = .40
For the first year, the cost of the asset is
multiplied by 40 percent. After the first year,
the declining book value of the asset is
multiplied 40 percent.

Revising Depreciation Estimates
A machine purchased for
$130,000 was originally
estimated to have a useful
life of 30 years and a
residual value of $10,000.
The asset has been
depreciated for ten years
using the straight- line
method.

During the eleventh year, it is estimated that the

that the revised estimated residual value is $5,000.

Accounting for Fixed Asset Disposals
When fixed assets lose their usefulness they may be disposed of in one of the following ways:
1. discarded,
2. sold, or
3. traded (exchanged) for similar assets.
Required entries will vary with type of disposition and circumstances, but the following entries will always be necessary:
An asset account must be credited to remove the assetfrom the ledger, and the related Accumulated Depreciation account must be debited to remove it’s balance from the ledger.
A piece of equipment
acquired at a cost of
$25,000 is fully
depreciation. On February
14, the equipment is
discarded.

Gain or loss will be reported in the income statement as Other Income or Other Loss.
When fixed assets are sold, the owner may
break even, sustain a loss, or realize a gain.
1. If the sale price is equal to book value, there
will be no gain or loss.
2. If the sale price is less than book value, there
will be a loss equal to the difference.
3. If the sale price is more than book value,
there will be a gain equal to the difference.

Trade-in Allowance (TIA) – amount allowed for old equipment toward the purchase price of similar new assets.
Boot – balance owed on new equipment after trade-in allowance has been deducted.
TIA > Book Value = Gain on Trade
TIA < Book Value = Loss on Trade
Gains are never recognized (not recorded).
Losses must be recognized (recorded).

Natural Resources and
Depletion
Depletion is the process of
transferring the cost of natural
resources to an expense account.
Natural Resources and Depletion
A business paid
$400,000 for the
mining rights to a
mineral deposit
estimated at 1,000,000
tons of ore. The
depletion rate is $0.40
per ton ($400,000 ÷
1,000,000 tons).
Natural Resources and Depletion
Adjusting Entry
Accumulated Depletion 36 000 00
During the current year, 90,000 tons are
mined. The periodic depletion is
$36,000 (90,000 tons x $0.40).

Amortization is the periodic cost expiration of intangible
assets which do not have physical attributes and are not
held for sale (patents, copyrights, and goodwill).
11 years – 6 years = 5-year life
