Question 2: Self test Q1 Q2. A non-current asset cost $20,000 and is being depreciated at 10% using the diminishing balance method. How does this asset appear in the statement of financial position in the first and second year of ownership?

Question 2: Answer Statement of financial position as at 1st year Property, plant and equipment: Depreciation($20,000 x 10%) 2,000 Accumulated depreciation 2,000 Net book value 18,000 Statement of financial position as at 2nd year Depreciation($18,000 x 10%) 1,800 Accumulated depreciation 3,800 Net book value 16,200 Cost: 20,000 Cost: 20,000

Question 3:Self test Q2 Q3. a) What are the purposes of providing for depreciation? b) In what circumstances is the diminishing balance method more appropriate than the straight-line method? Give reasons for your answer.

Question 3 : Answer a) The purposes: To Calculate the True Profits, deducted out of the income earned from their use in order to calculate true profit net or loss; To show true Financial Position, deducted from the assets and then at such reduced value these may be shown in the FP To make Provision for replacement of assets, provision for depreciation is a charge to profits and loss account though depreciation is not paid. The amount of depreciation accumulated during the working life of the asset provides additional working capital besides providing sum at the end of the working life of the asset for its replacement.

The accounts of a business try to recognise that the cost of a non-current assets is gradually consumed as the asset wears out. This is done by gradually writing off the asset’s cost to profits or loss over several accounting periods. This process is known as depreciation, and is an example of the accruals assumption. HKAS16 property, Plant and Equipment requires that depreciation should be allocation on a systematic basis to each accounting period during the useful life of the asset.

With regard to the accrual principal, it is fair that the profits should be reduced by the depreciation charge; this is not an arbitrary exercise. Depreciation is not, as is sometimes supposed, an attempt to set aside funds to purchase new non-current assets when required. Depreciation is not generally provided on freehold land because it does not ‘wear out’ (unless it is held for mining or similar purposes). Leasehold land : has depreciation

Question 3 : Answer B) If machine is more efficient and generate greater service potential early, the diminishing balance method more appropriate than the straight-line method; Because the diminishing balance method recognize higher amounts of depreciation in the earlier years of a fixed asset's life, this method can recognize relevant higher depreciation expense in earlier years when machine is more efficient early. Over time, the depreciation expense and the efficiency of machine moves in a downward, and the relevant maintenance costs tend to become higher; the accelerated depreciation is fairly charges to income.

Question 4: Review of useful life Q4. A machine costs of $100,000 and has a useful life of 10 years since its acquisition in 20x7. At the end of the second year of use, the asset is assessed to have a remaining useful life of five years. The company adopts the straight line depreciation method. What will be the depreciation charge for 20x9? make double entry

Question 4: Answer Depreciation for 20x7 and 20x8: $100,000 / 10 *2 years = $10,000 *2 years Residual value at the end of 20x8: $100,000 – $10,000 x 2 = $80,000 Depreciation charge for 20x9: $80,000 / 5 = $16,000 Carrying value (not called residual value) Carrying value Carrying value (x cost)

Question 5: Review of depreciation method of useful life Q5. Using the same data as above, assume that at the end of the second year the company changes from the straight line method to the diminishing balance method of depreciation, at a rate of 25 percent per annum. The carrying amount of $80,000 is therefore written off from 20x9 onwards using the diminishing balance method over its remaining useful life. Please make depreciation double entry.

Question 5: Answer Depreciation for 20x7 and 20x8: $100,000 / 10 *2 years = $10,000 *2 years Residual value at the end of 20x8: $100,000 – $10,000 x 2 = $80,000 Depreciation for 20x9: Dr. Deprecation ($80,000 x 25%) $20,000 Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $20,000 Carrying value (not called residual value) Carrying value (x cost)

Question 6: Revaluation Q6. Ozric Co has an item of freehold land carried in its books at $300,000. Two years ago a slump in land values led the company to reduce the carrying value from $350,000. This ($350,000-$300,000)was taken as an expense in profit and loss*. There has been a surge in land prices in the current year, however, and the land is now worth $380,000. Account for the revaluation in the current year. *Impairment loss = $50,000

Question 6: Answer Dr. Freehold land $80,000 Cr. Administrative expense-reversal of impairment loss-I/S $50,000 Cr. Revaluation surplus – Equity $30,000 (This $30,000 will be showed in “other” comprehensive income” in statement of comprehensive income & revaluation surplus on Equity respectively) -Recorded “50,000 Impairment loss in previous years”

Question 7: Revaluation decrease Q7. Let us simply swap round the example given above. The original cost was $350,000, revalued upwards to $380,000 two years ago. The value has now fallen to $300,000. Account for the decrease in value

Question 7 : Answer Revalued upwards to $380,000 from $350,000: Dr. Property, plant and equipment 30,000 Cr. revaluation – surplus 30,000 Fallen to $300,000 from $380,000: Dr. revaluation surplus 30,000 Dr. impairment – loss* 50,000 Cr. Property, plant and equipment 80,000 *Reverse $30k the revaluation surplus first in financial position. Then it allocate to $50Kimpairment loss in income statement. Answer:Administrative expense- impairment loss

Question 8: Revaluation and depreciation Q8. Siwa Ltd bought an asset for $200,000 at the beginning of 20x7. It had a useful life of five years. On 1 January 20x9 the asset was revalued to $240,000. The expected useful life has remained unchanged (ie three years remain). Account for the revaluation and state the treatment for depreciation from 20X9 onwards. Make double entry.

Revaluation surplus $120,000 At the same time: Dr. Revaluation surplus $40,000 Cr. Retained earnings $40,000 (240,000/3)-(200,000/5)= Excess depreciation amount transferred from revaluations surplus to retained earning.

Question 10:Self test Q3 Q10. A business purchased two rivet making machines on 1 January 20X5 at a cost of $15,000 each. Each had an estimated life of five years and a nil residual value. The straight line method of depreciation is used. Owing to an unforeseen slump in market demand for rivets, the business decided to reduce its output of rivets, and switch to making other products instead. On 31 March 2007, one rivet marking machine was sold (on credit) to a buyer for $8,000. Later in the year, however, it was decided to abandon production of rivets altogether, and the second machine was sold on 1st December 2007 for $2,500 cash. Required: (monthly depreciation method used) Prepare the machinery account, provision for depreciation of machinery account and disposal of machinery account for the accounting year to 31st December 2007
