May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Nature of Fixed Assets  Fixed assets have the following characteristics:  They exist physically and, thus, are tangible assets.  They are owned and used by the company in its normal operations.  They are not offered for sale as part of normal operations. LO 1

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Leasing Fixed Assets  A capital lease is accounted for as if the lessee has, in fact, purchased the asset. The asset is then amortized (written off as an expense) over the life of the capital lease. LO 1  A lease that is not classified as a capital lease for accounting purposes is classified as an operating lease. An operating lease is treated as an expense, because the lessee is renting the asset for the lease term.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Accounting for Depreciation  Depreciation can be caused by physical or functional factors.  Physical depreciation factors include wear and tear during use or from exposure to the weather.  Functional depreciation factors include obsolescence and changes in customer needs that cause the asset to no longer provide services for which it was intended. LO 2

LO 2 Units-of-Production Method  The units-of-production method provides the same amount of depreciation expense for each unit produced or each unit of capacity used by the asset.  Step 1. Determine the depreciation per unit as:  Step 2. Compute the depreciation expense as: Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per Unit x Total Units of Production Used Depreciation per Unit = Cost – Residual Value Total Units of Production

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Units-of-Production Method  A depreciable asset costs $24,000. Its estimated residual value is $2,000, and it is expected to have a useful life of 10,000 operating hours. During the year, the asset was operated 2,100 hours. LO 2

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Intangible Assets  Patents, copyrights, trademarks, and goodwill are long-lived assets that are used in the operations of a business and not held for sale. These assets are called intangible assets because they do not exist physically.  The accounting for intangible assets is similar to that for fixed assets. LO 5

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Patents  Because a patent (as well as other intangible assets) does not exist physically, it is acceptable to credit the asset. This approach is different from physical fixed assets, which require the use of a contra asset account. LO 5
