4. 4 Depreciation Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset in a systematic and rational manner over the periods benefited. Land is not depreciated because it generally does not have a limited life.

5. 5 Factors Involved in Depreciation  Asset cost  Service life  Residual value  Method of cost allocation

6. 6 Asset Cost The cost of an asset includes all the acquisition costs a company incurs to obtain the benefits from the asset. Factors Involved in Depreciation

7. 7 Service Life The service life of an asset is the measure of the service units expected from the asset before its disposal. Factors Involved in Depreciation

8. 8 Service Life The factors that limit the service life of an asset can be divided into two general categories:  Physical causes  Functional causes Factors Involved in Depreciation

9. 9 Residual Value Residual, or salvage, value is the net amount that can be expected to be obtained when the asset is disposed at the end of its service life. Factors Involved in Depreciation

10. 10 Methods of Cost Allocation  Time-based methods a.Straight-line b.Accelerated (declining charge) 1)Sum-of-the-years’-digits 2)Declining balance  Activity (or use) methods

27. 27 Disclosure of Depreciation  Depreciation expense for the period  Balance of major classes of depreciable assets, by nature or function, at the balance sheet date  Accumulated depreciation, either by major classes of depreciable assets or in total, at the balance sheet date  A general description of the method or methods used in computing depreciation with respect to major classes of depreciable assets GAAP requires the following:

28. 28 Disclosure of Depreciation

29. 29 IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP  IFRS require that depreciation be “systematic,” rather than “systematic and rational.”  IFRS also require that the estimated useful lives and residual values, and the depreciation method, be reviewed at least once a year. U.S. GAAP only requires this review when events or circumstances indicate that the estimate has changed.

30. 30 IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP  IFRS also require that companies disclose the accumulated depreciation for each class of asset, not just the total amount as allowed by U.S. GAAP.  IFRS require that when an operating asset is made up of individual components that are significant with respect to the total cost of the item (e.g., an airplane and its engines) that the initial cost be allocated to the significant components and each component be depreciated separately.

31. 31 IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP  U.S. GAAP neither requires nor prohibits a company from depreciating components.  IFRS allow a company to write up the value of its property, plant, and equipment assets to fair value. Such a write-up would affect the amount of depreciation that the company records each period.

40. 40 Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment GAAP requires a company to review its property, plant, and equipment for impairment.

41. 41 Impairment occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the property, plant, and equipment may not be recoverable. Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

42. 42 Impairment Test If the total expected cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the book value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment Test If the total expected cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the book value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of the Loss The loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of future cash flows. Measurement of the Loss The loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of future cash flows. Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

43. 43 On January 1, 2007, the Hall Company purchased a factory for $1 million (20-year life) and machinery for $3 million (10-year life). Late in 2010, the company believes that its asset(s) may be impaired and the remaining useful life is five years. The company estimates that the asset will produce cash inflows of $700,000 and will incur cash outflow of $300,000 each year for the next five years. Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

44. 44 December 31, 2010 Factory cost$ 1,000,000 Less: Accumulated depreciation (4 years × $50,000) (200,000) Book value$ 800,000 Machinery cost$ 3,000,000 Less: Accumulated depreciation (4 years × $300,000) (1,200,000) Book value 1,800,000 Total Book Value$2,600,000 Impairment Test Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

46. 46 Measurement of the Loss Present value of the expected net cash flows (fair value) = $400,000 × 3.274294 = $1,309,718 (rounded) n = 5, i = 0.16 from Table 4 in the Time Value of Money Module Fair value$(1,309,718) Book value 2,600,000 Impairment loss$(1,290,282) Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

47. 47 GAAP does not specify how to record the write-down. It does indicate that the reduced book value is to be accounted for as the new cost. Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment

49. 49 The recognition of an impairment loss is intended to enhance the usefulness of a company’s financial statements. All these issues could result in earnings management. For example, management might prefer to recognize as large a loss as possible, thereby reducing the book value to the lowest possible amount. This would result in lower depreciation expense and higher net income in the future. Conceptual Evaluation of Asset Impairment

50. 50 IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP  IFRS use a “trigger” value, which is the (1) higher of the asset’s fair value (less costs to sell), or (2) its usage value to determine if an asset is impaired. U.S. GAAP uses undiscounted cash flows.  Typically, this should mean that international companies will recognize impairment losses earlier than U.S. companies. Under IFRS, the impairment loss is the difference between the book value and the “trigger” value defined above.  IFRS allow an impairment loss to be reversed if the value is recovered, which is not allowed under GAAP.

51. 51 1.A mandated tax life, which is usually shorter than the economic life 2.Acceleration of the cost recovery (except for buildings) 3.Elimination of the residual value For assets purchased in 1987 and later, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is required for tax purposes. A company’s computations of depreciation for income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes differ in three major respects: Depreciation for Tax Purposes

52. On January 1, 2009, Melville Company purchased an asset for $200,000. The estimated economic life and MACRS life are 8 years and 5 years, respectively. The estimated residual value is $20,000. Examine the next slide to determine the annual depreciation rates for 2009 through 2014 MACRS Principles 52

53. MACRS Percentages Determine depreciation for 2009–2014. 53

54. 54 2009$200,000 × 20% = $ 40,000 2010$200,000 × 32%= $ 64,000 2011$200,000 × 19.20%= $ 38,400 2012$200,000 × 11.52%= $ 23,040 2013$200,000 × 11.52%= $ 23,040 2014$200,000 × 5.76%= $ 11,520 $200,000 MACRS Principles Annual Tax Year Cost MACRS % Depreciation

55. 55 Changes and Corrections of Depreciation 1.A change in an estimate of the residual value or the service life of a currently owned asset is accounted for prospectively. 2.A change in the depreciation method for currently owned assets is also accounted for prospectively. 3.A correction of an error in depreciation is accounted for as a prior period adjustment (restatement).

56. 56 Depletion  Depletion of natural resources is calculated using an activity method.  Any environmental costs at the end of the project are added to the cost in determining depletion per unit.

57. 57 Depletion Unit Depletion Rate = Cost – Residual Value Units Reggio Company purchases land for $3,000,000 from which it expects to extract 1,000,000 tons of coal, the estimated residual value is $200,000, and it mines 80,000 tons of coal in the first year. Unit Depletion Rate = $3,000,000 – $200,000 1,000,000 tons

58. 58 Unit Depletion Rate = Cost – Residual Value Units Unit Depletion Rate = $3,000,000 – $200,000 1,000,000 tons Unit Depletion Rate = $2.80 per ton Depletion for Year = $2.80 × 80,000 tons = $224,000 Depletion

59. 59 Revised Depletion Estimate Suppose that at the beginning of the second year of operation, a new estimate indicates that the mine has a capacity to produce another 1,600,000 tons (for a lifetime production of 1,680,000 tons). What is the new depletion rate? Unit Depletion Rate = ($3,000,000 – $224,000) – $200,000 1,600,000 tons = $1.61 per ton Unit Depletion Rate = Book Value – Residual Value Remaining Units
