8. ©CourseCollege.com 8 When several types of assets such as land, building and equipment are purchased for a single amount, the value assigned to each asset type must be determined. Lump sum purchase O15.1

9. ©CourseCollege.com 9 To determine the value to be assigned to each type of asset: Lump sum purchase Example O15.1 The Cost Concept controls the total cost The Objectivity Concept controls the proper allocation

10. ©CourseCollege.com 10 Lump sum purchase O15.1 Western Excavators purchased a new operating facility including land, land improvements, building and equipment. The total purchase price including related costs was $2,650,000. An appraisal was completed at the time of purchase as follows:

11. ©CourseCollege.com 11 Lump sum purchase The percentage of the total appraised value that each type of asset represents is multiplied times the total cost to determine the recorded value assigned. O15.1 700,000/2,800,00 = 25% 25% x $2,650,000 = $662,500

22. ©CourseCollege.com 22 Double Declining Balance O15.2 Annual depreciation = 2 x Straight line rate x Beginning of year book value Example: Useful life = 8 years Straight line % = 1/8 = 12.5% Double the rate 2 x 12.5% = 25% Example: Useful life = 8 years Straight line % = 1/8 = 12.5% Double the rate 2 x 12.5% = 25% Double Straight Line rate

23. ©CourseCollege.com 23 1 st year Double Declining Balance O15.2 Annual depreciation = 2 x Straight line rate x Beginning of year book value Example: Forklift cost $50,000 Salvage value $10,000 Useful life 8 years 1 / 8 =12.5% x 2 = 25% 1 st year depreciation = 25% x $50,000 = $12,500 Example: Forklift cost $50,000 Salvage value $10,000 Useful life 8 years 1 / 8 =12.5% x 2 = 25% 1 st year depreciation = 25% x $50,000 = $12,500 Ignore Salvage value until end

29. ©CourseCollege.com 29 15.3 Objective 15.3: Account for repairs, maintenance and improvements to Plant Assets Does the expenditure extend the useful life of the asset? ? Does the benefit of the expenditure extend beyond the current fiscal period?

30. ©CourseCollege.com 30 Ordinary repairs, betterments & extraordinary repairs 15.3 Ordinary maintenance and repairs Betterments improve asset’s efficiency and capacity Extraordinary repairs extend the asset’s useful life Revenue Expenditures Capital Expenditures Benefits future periods

31. ©CourseCollege.com 31 Ordinary repairs 15.3 Ordinary maintenance and repairs are expenditures necessary to keep assets in normal operating condition. They are debited to an expense account Example: $675 for maintenance and repairs on trucks is journalized below Revenue expenditure

32. ©CourseCollege.com 32 Betterments 15.3 Betterments expenditures benefit future periods by making assets more efficient or functional. They don’t necessarily extend the useful life. They are debited to the asset account Example: $2,000 for adding heavy duty suspension to a truck is journalized below Capital expenditure

33. ©CourseCollege.com 33 Extraordinary Repairs 15.3 Extraordinary repair expenditures benefit future periods by making assets last longer. They extend the useful life of the asset. They are debited to the asset account Example: $3,500 for rebuilding a truck engine is journalized below Capital expenditure

34. ©CourseCollege.com 34 Betterments -example 15.3 Example: After the third year of use, $2000 for adding heavy duty suspension to a truck is debited to the asset account. The revised depreciation schedule is shown below:

36. ©CourseCollege.com 36 15.4 Plant Assets are disposed of in several ways: They may be discarded as surplus They can be sold They can be exchanged or traded for other assets Plant Assets are disposed of in several ways: They may be discarded as surplus They can be sold They can be exchanged or traded for other assets Objective 15.4: Account for disposal of Plant Assets

37. ©CourseCollege.com 37 15.4 If a plant asset is discarded when it no longer has any market or functional value, asset values and accumulated depreciation must be removed from the accounts. Example: A fully depreciated computer (book value is $0) is sent to recycling. The journal entry is shown below: If a plant asset is discarded when it no longer has any market or functional value, asset values and accumulated depreciation must be removed from the accounts. Example: A fully depreciated computer (book value is $0) is sent to recycling. The journal entry is shown below: Discarding a plant asset

38. ©CourseCollege.com 38 15.4 When a plant asset is sold for cash, asset values and accumulated depreciation must be removed from the accounts, and: If the book value = cash received, no gain or loss is recorded If book value > cash received, loss is recorded If book value < cash received, gain is recorded When a plant asset is sold for cash, asset values and accumulated depreciation must be removed from the accounts, and: If the book value = cash received, no gain or loss is recorded If book value > cash received, loss is recorded If book value < cash received, gain is recorded Sale of plant asset for cash

39. ©CourseCollege.com 39 15.4 Example: A delivery truck with recorded acquisition cost of $28,000 and accumulated depreciation of $20,000 is sold for $10,000. The journal entry is shown below: Cash received > book value The disposal results in additional *revenue for the period * technically it should be called a “gain”

40. ©CourseCollege.com 40 15.4 Example: A delivery truck with recorded acquisition cost of $28,000 and accumulated depreciation of $20,000 is sold $5,000. The journal entry is shown below: Cash received < book value The disposal results in additional *expense for the period * technically it should be called a “loss”

41. ©CourseCollege.com 41 15.4 RULES: 1.The recorded cost & accumulated depreciation of the asset traded in must be removed from the accounts 2.If no cash is received in the exchange, a gain on disposal is never recognized. The value recorded for the new asset is reduced to balance 3.The recorded value of the asset received cannot exceed its’ fair market value 4.If book value + cash paid is more than the fair market value of the asset received, a loss is recorded. RULES: 1.The recorded cost & accumulated depreciation of the asset traded in must be removed from the accounts 2.If no cash is received in the exchange, a gain on disposal is never recognized. The value recorded for the new asset is reduced to balance 3.The recorded value of the asset received cannot exceed its’ fair market value 4.If book value + cash paid is more than the fair market value of the asset received, a loss is recorded. Exchanging a plant asset

42. ©CourseCollege.com 42 15.4 Example: A delivery truck with a recorded cost of $32,000 and accumulated depreciation of $27,000 is traded in with $30,000 cash for a new delivery truck with a fair market value of $38,000 Exchanging a plant asset Book value = $32,000 - $27,000 = $5,000 + $30,000 cash = $35,000 or less than the market value of the new truck, therefore, the recorded value must be reduced to $35,000 to balance the transaction. (No gain can be recorded) New truck Old truck

43. ©CourseCollege.com 43 15.4 Example: A delivery truck with a recorded cost of $32,000 and accumulated depreciation of $27,000 is traded in with $30,000 cash for a new delivery truck with a fair market value of $33,000 Exchanging a plant asset Book value = $32,000 - $27,000 = $5,000 + $30,000 cash = $35,000 or more than the market value of the new truck, therefore, a loss must be recorded.
