CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES s s
1. Calculate the cost of property, plant, and equipment. The cost of property, plant, and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
equipment includes all costs that are necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
intended use. All costs that benefit future periods (that is, capital expenditures) are included in the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
cost of the asset. When applicable, cost also includes asset retirement costs. When multiple assets
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
are purchased in one transaction, or when an asset has significant components, the cost is allocated
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
to each individual asset or component using their relative fair values.
s s s s s s s s s s s
2. Apply depreciation methods to property, plant, and equipment. After acquisition, assets are
s s s s s s s s s s s
accounted for using the cost model or the revaluation model. Depreciation is recorded and assets
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
long-lived asset to expense over its useful life (its service life) in a rational and systematic way.
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
Depreciation is not a process of valuation and it does not result in an accumulation of cash. There
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
are three commonly used depreciation methods:

Each method results in the same amount of depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Depreciation
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
expense for income tax purposes is called capital cost allowance (CCA).

3. Explain the factors that cause changes in periodic depreciation and calculate revised
s s s s s s s s s s s
depreciation for property, plant, and equipment. A revision to depreciation will be required if
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
there are (a) capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life; (b) impairments in the asset’s fair
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
value; (c) changes in the asset’s fair value when using the revaluation model; and/or (d) changes in
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
the appropriate depreciation method, estimated useful life, or residual value. An impairment loss
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
must be recorded if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Revisions of periodic
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
depreciation are made in present and future periods, not retroactively. The new annual depreciation
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
is determined by using the depreciable amount (carrying amount less the revised residual value),
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
and the remaining useful life, at the time of the revision.

4. Demonstrate how to account for property, plant, and equipment disposals. The accounting s s s s s s s s s s s
for the disposal of a piece of property, plant, or equipment through retirement or sale is as follows:
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
(a) Update any unrecorded depreciation for partial periods since depreciation was last recorded.
s s s s s s s s s s s
(b) Calculate the carrying amount (cost – accumulated depreciation). s s s s s s s
(c) Calculate any gain (proceeds > carrying amount) or loss (proceeds < carrying amount) on s s s s s s s s s s s s s
disposal.
s
(d) Remove the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts at the date of disposal. Record the s s s s s s s s s s s s s
proceeds received and the gain or loss, if any.
s s s s s s s s s
An exchange of assets is recorded as the purchase of a new asset and the sale of an old asset. The
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
new asset is recorded at the fair value of the asset given up plus any cash paid (or less any cash
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
received). The fair value of the asset given up is compared with its carrying amount to calculate the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
gain or loss. If the fair value of the new asset or the asset given up cannot be determined, the new
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
long-lived asset is recorded at the carrying amount of the old asset that was given up, plus any cash
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
paid (or less any cash received).

5. Record natural resource transactions and calculate depletion. The units-of-production
s s s s s s s s
method of depreciation is generally used for natural resources. The depreciable amount per unit is
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
calculated by dividing the total depreciable amount by the number of units estimated to be in the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
resource. The depreciable amount per unit is multiplied by the number of units that have been
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
extracted to determine the annual depreciation. The depreciation and any other costs to extract the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
resource are recorded as inventory until the resource is sold. At that time, the costs are transferred
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
to cost of resource sold on the income statement. Revisions to depreciation will be required for
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life, for impairments, and for changes in the total
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
estimated units of the resource.

6. Identify the basic accounting issues for intangible assets and goodwill. The accounting for
s s s s s s s s s s s s
tangible and intangible assets is much the same. Intangible assets are reported at cost, which
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
includes all expenditures necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use. An intangible asset
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
with a finite life is amortized over the shorter of its useful life and legal life, usually on a straight-line
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
basis. The extent of the annual impairment tests depends on whether IFRS or ASPE is followed and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
whether the intangible asset had a finite or indefinite life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
goodwill are not amortized and are tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment losses on
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
goodwill are never reversed under both IFRS and ASPE.

7. Illustrate the reporting and analysis of long-lived assets. It is common for property, plant, ands s s s s s s s s s s s s s
equipment, and natural resources to be combined in financial statements under the heading
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
“property, plant, and equipment.” Intangible assets with finite and indefinite lives are sometimes
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
combined under the heading “intangible assets” or are listed separately. Goodwill must be
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
presented separately. Either on the balance sheet or in the notes, the cost of the major classes of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
long-lived assets is presented. Accumulated depreciation (if the asset is depreciable) and carrying
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
amount must be disclosed either in the balance sheet or in the notes. The depreciation and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
amortization methods and rates, as well as the annual depreciation expense, must also be
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
indicated. The company’s impairment policy and any impairment losses should be described and
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
reported. Under IFRS, companies must include a reconciliation of the carrying amount at
