Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition9-3Chapter OutlineProperty, plant and equipment(LO1)Property, plant and equipmentmay be tangible or intangible. Assets used in the operations tohelp generate revenue and have a useful life of more than one accounting period areproperty,plant and equipment.Cost ofProperty, plant and equipmentA.Consistent with cost principle, property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.Cost includes all normal and reasonable expenditures necessary to get the asset in place andready for its intended use.B.Subsequent expenditures may be incurred after an asset is placed in service.Capitalexpendituresare costs of PPE that provide material benefits extending beyond the currentperiod. They are debited to PPE accounts and appear on the balance sheet.Revenueexpendituresare normal costs incurred to keep an asset in its normal running condition. Theyare expensesand wouldappear on the income statement.C.Subsidiary ledgers may be kept for maintaining control of large numbers of assets.Low cost asset purchases are usually expensed under the materiality principle.D.Low cost assets may be expensed (treated as revenue expenditures) under themateriality principle.E.Land purchased as a building sitecost includes purchase price, commissions, titleinsurance, legal fees, accrued property taxes,surveying, clearing, landscaping, and localgovernment assessments (current or future) for streets, sewers, etc. Also includes cost ofremoval of any existing structures (less proceeds from sale of residual materialF.Land ImprovementsCosts that increase the usefulness of the land.1.Examples: parking lot surfaces, driveways, fences, and lighting systems havelimited useful lives.2.Costs are charged to a separate Land Improvement account.3.Costs are allocated to the periods they benefitthrough depreciation.G.Buildings1.If purchasedCost usually include its purchase price, brokerage fees, taxes,title fees, attorney costs, and all expenditures to make it ready for its intended use. (anynecessary repairs or renovations such as wiring, lighting, flooring and wall coverings).2.If constructed for own useCosts includes materials and labour plus areasonable amount of indirect overhead cost (heat, lighting, power, and depreciation onmachinery used to construct the asset). Cost also includes design fees, building permits,and insurance during construction.H.Leasehold improvements are alterations or improvements made to leasedproperty.Leasehold improvements become part of the property and revert to the lessor at the end of thelease. These amounts aredepreciated over the life of the lease or life of the improvements,whichever is less.I.Machinery and Equipmentcosts include all normal and necessary expenditures topurchase them and prepare them for their intended use (purchase price, taxes, transportationcharges, insurance while in transit, and the installing, assembling and testing of machinery andequipment).

All rights reserved.9-4Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian editionJ.Lump-Sum Purchasea group of property, plant and equipment purchased with asingle transaction for a lump-sum price. Individual asset cost determined by allocating the costof the purchase among the different types of assets acquired based on their relative values.Depreciation(LO2)Theprocess of allocating to expense the cost of a capital asset to the accounting periods benefitingfrom its use. Recorded as a debit to Depreciation Expense and a credit to AccumulatedDepreciation.A.Factors in Computing Depreciation1.Costdescribed above.2.Residual value(residualvalue) an estimate of the assets value at the end ofits benefit period.3.Useful life(service life) length of time the asset is expected to be productivelyused in a companys operations. Factors affecting useful life include:a)Inadequacyacondition in which the capacity of property, plant andequipment becomes too small for the productive demands of the business.b)Obsolescencea condition in which, because of new inventions andimprovements, a capital asset can nolonger be used to produce goods orservices with a competitive advantage.B.Depreciation Methods1.Straight-line Methodcharges the same amount to expense for each period of theasset’s useful life.Calculation:Cost minus residual value(equals the cost to bedepreciated)divided by theasset's useful life. (usually in years)2.Units-of-Production Methodcharges a varying amount to expense for each periodof an asset’s useful life depending on its usage. Charges are based on the consumedcapacity of theasset. Examples of capacity measurements: miles driven, productoutputs, hours used.Calculation:Cost minus residual valuedivided by the number of units to be produced equalsthedepreciationper unit.Depreciation per unit X number of unitsconsumed in period equals the period’sdepreciation.3.Declining-Balance Methodan accelerated depreciation method. Charges largerdepreciation during the early years of an asset's life and smaller expenses in the lateryears.Double-declining balance method(DDB) is also referred to as being twice the straightline rate.4.Calculation:Calculate the rate. 2/useful life= % (or 100%/useful life X 2)Calculate annual depreciation as :Net Book Value X RateNote:Depreciation is a method of allocation, not of valuation.

Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition9-5asset, less estimated residual, is allocated over the estimated useful life in asystematic and rational manner. The amount of depreciation charged per yearmay vary with the different methods. However, the total depreciation over anasset’s life will be the same regardless of which method is used.Depreciation for Tax Reportingdifferences between financial and tax accountingsystems are normal and expected.1.Many companies use accelerated depreciation in computing taxable income becauseit postpone its tax payments by charging higher depreciation expense in the early yearsand lower amounts in the later years.4.Federal income tax regulations require a company to depreciate assets according tothe Capital Cost Allowance system (CCA)5.The income tax regulations specify maximum CCA rates that businesses may claimbut a business may decide to claim less than the maximum or claim none at all.Partial YearDepreciation(LO3)Whenan asset is purchased (or disposed of) at a time other than the beginning or end of anaccounting period, depreciation is recorded for the part of the year the asset was in use. The twomethods we will examine are:1.Nearest whole month, depreciation is calculated if the asset was in use for more thanhalf of the month of acquisition.2.Half-Year Convention, six months depreciation is recorded for the partial year,regardless of when the asset was acquired.Revising Depreciation Rates(LO4)A.Ifestimated residual value and/or useful life is revised:Depreciation expense calculations are revised by spreading the remaining cost to bedepreciated over the revised useful life remaining.Calculation:Remaining Bookvalue-Revised residual valueRevised remaining useful lifeThe revision is referred to as achange in an accounting estimateand is reflected in futurefinancial statements. Past statements are not changed.B.Subsequent CapitalExpenditures:Subsequent capital expenditures will change the book value of the asset. A revision todepreciation is required to reflect the change. The first step is to bring depreciation up todate at the time of the subsequent capital expenditure. (using the original rate) The capitalexpenditure may involve replacing a portion of an asset or adding to the asset withoutremoving any portion. A journal entry is done to record the addition or the addition andremoval of an old part. If an old part is removed theremay be a loss recorded. Depreciationis then calculated at the revised rate.

CopyrightEducationLimited. All rights reserved.9-6Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian editionImpairment of PPE Assets(LO5)An impairment loss happens when a PPE item’s book value is greater than the amount to berecovered through the asset’s use or sale. Assets should be assessed for impairment annually.Technological, economic or legal factors can all cause impairments to occur. The journal entryto record impairment:DateImpairment lossXXAsset accountXXThe asset’s book value will be reduced. Depreciation would be revised to reflect this change.Disposals of property, plant and equipment(LO6)Assets may bediscarded, sold, or exchangeddue to wear and tear, obsolescence, inadequacy, ordamage by fire or other accident.A.In general, accounting for disposals requires the following steps:1.Record depreciation expense up to the date of disposal. This updates theaccumulated depreciation account.2.Remove thebalances of the disposed asset and related accumulated depreciationaccounts.3.Record any cash (and other assets) received or paid in the disposal.4.Record any gain or loss resulting from comparing the asset's book value withthe value received in the disposal.B.Discarding Property, plant and equipmentfollow general accounting procedure above.1.If fullydepreciatedno loss (can never have a gain if discarding)2.If not fullydepreciatedRecord a loss (debit) equal to the book value.C.Selling Property, plant and equipmentfollow general accounting procedure above.Compare value received to book value to determine gain (receive value greater than book value)or loss (receive value less than book value).1.Sale is at a gain if value received exceeds bookvalue.2.Saleisat a loss if value received is less than book value.Students frequently have difficulty in deriving the journal entry involving a gain or loss.It is very helpful to have them journalize the parts of the entry that they already knowsuch as cash received, debit to accumulated depreciation and credit to the asset account.I usually leave a space between the debits and credits and show the calculation as beingthe difference between the two sides. A debit or credit can then be recorded with theentry still in the correct order. They just have to fill in the space!D.Exchanging assetsAssets are often exchanged (traded-in) for new assets. The exchange is treated as a sale of theold asset and the purchase of a new asset. The cost and accumulated depreciation of the old assetis removed from the books. The cost of the new asset will be recorded at the fair value of theasset(s) received. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, the new asset will be recordedat the carrying value of the assets given up. Any gains or losses realized on the exchange arerecorded at the time of disposal.

Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition9-7Intangible Assets(LO7)Intangible assets have nophysical substance but providefuture economic benefits. This is adifficult topic for students to grasp.Examples include patents, copyrights, leaseholds, drillingrights and trademarks. Accounting for intangibles is similar to accounting for PPE. Intangiblesare recorded at cost when purchased. Cost is allocated to the asset over its useful life throughamortization.The asset account itself is reduced. There is no accumulated account used.In thisway intangibles will always be shown at net book value.Intangible assets are shown on thebalance sheet separately from goodwill and property, plant and equipment.APPENDIX 9A(LO8)Revised Depreciation When There Is a Subsequent Capital Expenditure ThatCreates Partial Period DepreciationIn this case depreciation is calculated and recorded using the following steps:1.Depreciation on the asset isupdated to the date of the subsequent capital expenditure.2.The subsequent capital expenditure is recorded.3.If the subsequent capital expenditure is a replacement, the component being replaced is removedfrom the books and any resulting gain or loss is recorded.4.Revised depreciation is calculated.

Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition9-9Alternate Demo Problem Chapter9A new machine cost$100,000, has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimatedresidualvalueof $15,000 at the end of that time. It is expected that the machine can produce170,000 widgets during itsuseful life.The New Times Company purchasesthis machine on January 1,2017, and uses it for exactly three years.During these years the annual production of widgets has been 80,000, 50,000, and 30,000 units,respectively. On January 1, 2017, the machine is sold for $45,000.Required:1.Calculate thedepreciationexpense for each of the first three years usinga.straight-lineb.units-of-productionc.double-declining-balance2.Prepare the proper journal entry for the sale of the machine under the three differentdepreciationmethods.

CopyrightEducationLimited. All rights reserved.9-10Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian editionSolution to Alternate Demo Problem Chapter91a. Straight-lineThedepreciationexpense each year is equal to (cost-residual) / useful life. In this example the cost is$100,000, theresidualis $15,000, and the useful life is 5 years. Therefore,Annualdepreciation=(100,000-15,000)/ 5=17,000each year1b.Units-of-productionThedepreciationexpense each year is equal to a rate[(cost-residual) / total production] multiplied by the actual number of units produced that year.In thisexample the rate would be $0.50 per widget, (100,000-15,000)/ 170,000, and thedepreciationexpense foreach of the first three years would be:2017=.50x80,000=40,0002018=.50x50,000=25,0002019=.50x30,000=15,0001c.Double-declining-balanceThedepreciationexpense each year is equal to a rate (twice the straight-line rate, or 2 / useful life)multiplied by theasset’s net book value (cost lessaccumulateddepreciation) at the beginning of the year.In this example the rate would be 2/5, or 40%, and thedepreciationexpense for each of the first threeyears would be2017=.40x100,000=40,0002018=.40x60,000=24,0002019=.40x36,000=14,400

Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition9-112.The journal entry for the sale of the asset will have the same general form regardless of the methodofdepreciationadopted, except that whether there is a gain or a loss on the sale may changeaccording to thedepreciationmethod used. The gain or loss on disposal of the asset is determinedby comparing the sale price, in this case $45,000, with the net book value of the asset at the time ofthe sale.Straight-lineCash.........................................................45,000Accumulateddepreciation.......................51,000Loss on sale of machine...........................4,000Machine...........................................100,000Units-of-productionCash.........................................................45,000Accumulateddepreciation.......................80,000Machine...........................................100,000Gain on sale of machine...................25,000Double-declining-balanceCash.........................................................45,000Accumulateddepreciation.......................78,400Machine...........................................100,000Gain on sale of machine...................23,400

Fundamental Accounting Principles,15th Canadian edition10-3Known (Determinable) Liabilities(LO2)Set by agreements, contracts or laws and are measurable. Examples of thesecurrentliabilitiesinclude:A.Trade accounts payable (or accounts payable)amounts owed to suppliers for products orservices purchased with credit.B.Customer loyalty programs-Some businesses offer customers points and other rewards toencourage long-term relationships and loyalty. Since these create future obligations for thecompany it must create a current liability for the estimated amount of the redemptions. Theliability is reduced when the customers redeem their points.C.Gift cards-These represent a liability to the company since it receives cash in advance ofproviding goods or services. The liability is reduced when the customers redeem their cards.D.Payroll Liabilities-employee compensation amounts owed to employees.Amounts withheldcould include CPP, EI and taxes owing to the Receiver General on behalf of employees. Otherpossibilities include amounts owing for union dues or medical insurance.E.PST and GST PayableProvincial sales taxes collected are recorded in an account called PSTPayable. PST must be remitted periodically to the appropriate government agency. As thesetaxes are paid the following journal entry is made:PST PayableXXXCashXXXGST charged is 5% of sales price. GST is both paid by a business and collected from customersfrom sales. The net amount of these two amounts is either payable or receivable, dependingupon the balance. Assuming GST is payable, the following entry would be made quarterly.(Some large businesses may need to remit monthly, while certain others elect to pay annually.)GST Payable(net of receivable)XXXCashXXXGST Payable(net of receivable)XXXCashXXXSome provinces combine the PST andGST into one tax called HST (Harmonized sales tax). Theaccounting for HST is similar to accounting for GST.F.Unearned revenues(deferred revenues) amounts received in advance from customers forfuture products or services. Reported as current liabilities.

All rights reserved.10-4FundamentalAccounting Principles,15thCanadian editionShort-term note payable(LO3)Awritten promise to pay a specified amount on a specified future date within one year or the company’soperating cycle, whichever is longer. Notes payable areusuallyinterest-bearing.They maybeused to purchase merchandise inventory or to replace an account payable. Short term payablesmayalsoresult from borrowings from a bank.Short-term notespayableand any accrued interest arereported as a current liabilities.Estimated Liabilities(Provisions) (LO4)Obligations that exist but have anuncertain amountthatcan bereasonablyestimated. Examples are:A.Warranty liabilitiesThe seller reports the expected warranty expenseand relatedliabilityin the period when revenue from the sales of the product is reported. This satisfies thematching principle. Estimated warranty liability is increased with an estimate of warrantyexpense each year. As warranty costs are incurred,the liabilityaccount is debited ordecreased.B.Income tax liabilities for corporationsCreates a liability until paid to government.Paymentsareusually paid monthly. The amount to be paid each month is equal to onetwelfth of the corporation’s estimated income tax liability for the year.The actual amountof total income tax for the period is not known until after the end of the accounting period.The adjustment to bring the estimated taxes and actual income taxes is made in the lastperiod of the year. Income taxes are not applicable to sole proprietorships or partnershipssince income is taxed at the owner/partner level.C.A contingent liability exists when the liability is not probableorit cannot be estimated.Contingent liabilities arenotrecorded as a liability on the balance sheet because they do notmeet the recognition criteria. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to thestatements unless it is very unlikely that there will be an outflow of assets.
