Personal Summary of IAS 16 PPEFull description
PPEFull description
Notes on IAS 16 Property, Plant, and Equipment (Incomplete)Full description
Used in the normal business operations a. production or supply of goods and services b. for rental to others c. for administrative purposes
Expected to be used for more than one period
RECOGNITION
As
stated in P AS 16 paragraph 7
The cost of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment shall be recognized as an asset if & only if: a. it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity b. the cost of the item can be measured reliably
Spare
parts and servicing equipment are considered as inventory and are recognized as profit or loss when consumed. They are recognized as PPE if: 1. they are expected to be used for more than one period 2. they are used only in connection with PPE item
Initial Costs
Some
PPE item are acquired for safety and environmental reasons
Subsequent
Costs
Day to day servicing of PPE are not recognized in its carrying amount
Parts of some items of Property, Plant and Equipment may require replacement at regular interval. They are recognized as PPE if they met the recognition criteria stated in paragraph 7.
If major inspection is a condition of continuing to operate an i\tem of PPE, such inspection is recognized in the carrying amount if the recognition criteria is met.
ME ASUREMENT
I. At Recognition
PPE shall be measured at cost Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction.
The cost of PPE includes not only the purchase price but also other expenditures incurred in acquiring and preparing the PPE for its intended use.
Recognition
of the carrying amount of the asset ceases when the asset has been brought to location and condition necessary for it to operate as intended by the management.
There are some incidental operations that may occur before or during an item is being constructed. These incidental operations should be recognized as profit or loss or included in their classification as income or expenses.
The cost of PPE item may vary due to the mode of acquisition: 1. Cash - cash price equivalent 2. On Account/ with credit terms - net of discount 3. Deferred Payment (Installment) - the difference between the total payment and cash price equivalent is the interest
4.
Exchange of Non-Monetary Assets - the cost of the asset is measured at its fair vale unless: (a) the transaction lacks commercial substance (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable An
exchange transaction has commercial substance if: 1. the cash flow of the asset received differs from the cash flows of the asset transferred 2. the entity-specific value of the portion of the entity¶s operations affected by the transaction changes as a result of the exchange 3. the difference between the first two is significantly relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged
If the acquired item is not measured at fair value, its cost is measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up
5.
Construction - measured at cost including all expenses incurred to build the asset and prepare it for its intended use. - any internal profits are eliminated in arriving at such costs - the cost of abnormal amounts of wasted material, labor or other resources incurred in self-constructing an asset is not included in the cost of the asset
II. After Recognition A.
Cost
Model
Cost less Accumulated Depreciation & Accumulated Impairment Loss B. Revaluation Model Fair Value Less Subsequent Accumulated Depreciation & Impairment Loss Fair Value ( Market Value) is determined by appraisal
If there is no market-based evidence of fair value, it should be estimated using an income or a depreciated replacement cost
Changes in fair value determines the frequency of revaluation. Revaluation of PPE must be done annually. If the fair value of the revalued amount differs significantly from its fair value, further revaluation is required. If the carrying amount does not differ significantly from the fair value, it may be necessary to revalue the item only every three to five years
The accumulated depreciation of a PPE item that is revalued should be treated any of these ways: 1. restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount 2. eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset
If an item of PPE is revalued, all the member of its class should be revalued
If the carrying amount increases due to revaluation, the increase must be credited directly in equity under the heading Revaluation Surplus
If the carrying amount of the asset decreases due to revaluation: a. decrease shall be debited directly to Revaluation Surplus if there is an existing credit balance in respect of that asset b. if there is no existing credit balance, decrease shall be recognized as loss
Revaluation
surplus may be transferred to retained earnings when: 1. asset is disposed 2. or when the asset is being used by the entity; the amount of revaluation surplus transferred would be the difference between depreciation based on revalued carrying amount and depreciation based on original cost
Depreciation
Parts of an item of PPE is to be depreciated if they have significant cost that are related to the total cost of PPE
Significant
The remaining parts should be depreciated using approximation techniques in a manner that faithfully represents the consumption pattern and/or useful life of its part. But an entity may depreciate the remaining part separately.
parts of the same item with the same useful life and depreciation method may be grouped together when determining the depreciation charge
Depreciation charge shall be recognized in profit or loss unless it is a part of the cost of other asset Ex. Depreciation of manufacturing plant & equipment is included in the cost of conversion of inventories
Depreciable amount is allocated on a systematic basis over the useful life
Residual
value and useful life should be reviewed at least each financial year-end, if estimates differs from expectation, changes are accounted for as a Change in Accounting Estimate (I AS 8)
Residual
value of an asset may increase to an amount equal to or greater than the asset¶s carrying amount
Depreciation starts when PPE is already available for use, it ceases when PPE is classified as held for sale
Idle PPE are still depreciated
In determining the useful life, the following factors must be considered a. expected usage of the asset b. expected physical wear and tear c. technical or commercial obsolescence d. legal or similar limits in the use of the asset
Estimation of the useful life of PPE may be based from the company¶s experience with similar asset
Land and Building are separable assets
Depreciation method reflects the pattern in which the assets¶ future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity ny changes in the pattern of consumption of the future economic benefit may be accounted for as a Change in Accounting Estimate (I AS 8)
A
Depreciation Methods:
1. Straight Line Method - depreciation change is constant over the useful life of the asset if there is no significant change in the residual value and useful life of the asset 2. Diminishing Balance Method - decreasing charge over the useful life of the asset 3. Unit of Production use or output
Method
± based on expected
Derecognition ± assets are removed in the accounts 1. On disposal (sale, by entering into finance lease or by donation) 2. when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal
Gain or Loss on disposal shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Gains are not recognized as revenue but as other income
Replaced
part of an item PPE shall be derecognized regardless whether they are depreciated separately or not
Gain or loss on disposal is the difference between net disposal proceeds and carrying value
PRESENT ATION
PPE are long-term assets and therefore they are included in the Non-Current Assets section of the Balance Sheet as a separate line item. Only the net carrying amount is reflected in the face of the Balance Sheet. The items with their corresponding PPE are to be found in the Notes to the Financial Statement
