ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.For PPE assets, the cost principle means that cost consists of all expenditures necessary to
acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use.
2.Examples of land improvements include driveways, parking lots, fences, and underground
sprinklers.
3.(a) When only the land is to be used, all demolition and removal costs of the building less
any proceeds from residual materials are necessary expenditures to make the land
ready for its intended use.
(b) When both the land and building are to be used, necessary costs of the building include
remodeling expenditures and the cost of replacing or repairing the roofs, floors, wiring,
and plumbing.
4.You should explain to the CEO that depreciation is a process of allocating the cost of a PPE
asset to expense over its service (useful) life in a rational and systematic manner.
Recognition of depreciation is not intended to result in the accumulation of cash for replacement of the asset.
5.(a) Residual value, also called salvage value, is the expected value of the asset at the end
of its useful life.
(b) Residual value is used in determining depreciation in each of the methods except the
reducing-balance method.
6.Assets are depreciated because their usefulness and revenue-producing ability will decline
over their useful life. Although expenditures incurred on repair and maintenance will help to maintain the operating efficiency and productive life of the assets, the assets’ revenue-producing ability will still decline over the years due to wear and tear and obsolescence. In other words, assets that have been repaired and maintained will eventually wear out.
Therefore, expenditure on repair and maintenance does not negate the need for depreciation, but merely maintains the assets’ condition to the st andard during their useful life.
7.The effects of the three methods on annual depreciation expense are: Straight-line —
constant amount; units of production —varying amount; reducing-balance —decreasing amounts.
8. A revision of depreciation is made in current and future years but not retrospectively. The
rationale is that continual restatement of prior periods would adversely affect confidence in the financial statements.
9.Repair expenses are ordinary repairs made to maintain the operating efficiency and
expected productive life of the asset. Capital expenditures are additions and improvements made to increase efficiency, productivity or expected useful life of the asset. Repair expenses are recognised as expenses when incurred; capital expenditures are generally debited to the PPE asset affected.
10.In a sale of PPE assets, the carrying amount of the asset is compared to the net proceeds
received from the sale. If the net proceeds of the sale exceed the carrying amount of the PPE asset, a gain on disposal occurs. If the proceeds of the sale are less than the carrying amount of the PPE asset sold, a loss on disposal occurs.
Answers to Questions (continued)
11. The PPE asset and its accumulated depreciation should continue to be reported on the
statement of financial position without further depreciation adjustment until the asset is retired. Reporting the asset and related accumulated depreciation on the statement of financial position informs the reader of the financial statements that the asset is still in use. However, once an asset is fully depreciated, even if it is still being used, no additional depreciation should be taken. In no situation can the accumulated depreciation on the PPE asset exceed its cost.
12. Mineral resources consist of underground deposits of oil, gas and minerals. These long-lived
productive assets have two distinguishing characteristics: they are physically extracted in operations, and they are replaceable only by an act of nature.
13. Amortisation of the capitalised costs is the allocation of the cost of mineral resources to
expense in a rational and sys tematic manner over the resource’s useful life. It is computed by multiplying the amortisation cost per unit by the number of units extracted and sold.
14. The terms depreciation and amortisation are both concerned with writing off the cost of an
asset to expense over the periods benefited. Depreciation refers to allocating the cost of a PPE asset to expense and amortisation to allocating the cost of an intangible asset to expense or the cost of a mineral resource as an expense.
15. The graduate is not correct. The cost of an intangible asset should be amortised over that
asset’s useful life (the period of time when operations are benefited by use of the asset). Occasionally, the useful life or amortisation period will be the same as the legal life, but many other factors in addition to legal life can affect useful life. In addition, some intangibles have indefinite lives and therefore are not amortised at all.
16. The favorable attributes which could result in goodwill include exceptional management,
desirable location, good customer relations, skilled employees, high-quality products, and harmonious relations with labour unions.
17. Goodwill is the value of many favorable attributes that are intertwined in the entity. Goodwill
can be identified only with the entity as a whole and, unlike other assets, cannot be sold separately. Goodwill can only be sold if the entire business is sold. And, if goodwill appears on the statement of financial position, it means the company has purchased another company for more than the fair value of the net assets acquired.
18. Brand names can appear in the statement of financial position only when: (1) the asset
definition and recognition criteria are satisfied; and (2) the brands have been purchased as a result of an acquisition. Internally generated brand names cannot be recognised as assets in the statement of financial position.
19. Research and development costs present several accounting problems. It is sometimes
difficult to assign the costs to specific projects, and there are uncertainties in identifying the extent and timing of future benefits. As a result, the accounting rules require that research costs be recorded as an expense when incurred and development costs, under certain conditions, can be capitalised.
20. Baggin Company’s asset turnover ratio is computed as follows:
assets
total Average sales
Net = million $15.8million $26.3 = 1.66 times
Answers to Questions (continued)
21.Since Wanzo uses the straight-line depreciation method, its depreciation expense will be
lower in the early years of an asset’s useful life as compared to using an accelerated method.
Cheng’s depreciation expense in the early years of an asset’s use ful life will be higher as compared to the straight-line method. Wanzo’s net profit will be higher than Cheng’s in the first few years of the asset’s useful life. And, the reverse will be true late in an asset’s useful life.
22.Yes, the tax rules allow a company to use a different depreciation method on the tax return
than is used in preparing financial statements. Shuey Company uses an accelerated depreciation method for tax purposes to minimise its income taxes and thereby the cash outflow for taxes.
23.According to the AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment paragraph 32-33, the fair value of
land and buildings is usually determined from market-based evidence by professionally qualified valuers. However, if there is no market-based evidence for fair value due to the nature of the PPE asset and the rarity of the asset being sold, the company may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach.
24.Expensing these costs will make current period profit lower but future period profit higher
because there will be no additional depreciation expense in future periods. If the costs are ordinary repairs, they should be expensed.
25.When similar assets are exchanged, the gain or loss on disposal is computed as the
difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset given up at the time of exchange. Any gain or loss on exchange is recognised immediately.
26.Unless the assets exchanged are similar in nature and value, gains and losses on exchange
are recognised in the financial statements in the reporting period. A gain (loss) arises if the fair value of the old machine exceeds (is less than) its carrying amount.
27.An item of PPE may be gifted or contributed to an entity. For example, land may be
contributed to a state government by a developer at no or nominal consideration to enable the state government to develop roads. Even though no cash is exchanged, the PPE should still be recognised at its fair value when acquired.
28. The existence of an Asset Revaluation Reserve suggests that Gallery uses a revaluation
model for one or more of its asset classes. Subsequent to acquisition, classes of PPE can be measured using the cost model or the revaluation model. Using a revaluation model, if the fair value of the asset increases the asset account is debited and the credit is to the Asset Revaluation Reserve account.
SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 10-1
All of the expenditures should be included in the cost of the land. Therefore, the cost of the land is $61 000 or ($50 000 + $3000 + $2500 + $2000 + $3500).
BRIEF EXERCISE 10-2
The cost of the truck is $51 500 (cash price $50 000 + sign writing $1 500). The expenditures for insurance and motor vehicle license should not be added to the cost of the truck.
BRIEF EXERCISE 10-3
Depreciable cost of $34 000 or ($40 000 – $6000). With a four-year useful life, annual depreciation is $8500 or ($34 000 ÷4). Under the straight-line method, depreciation is the same each year. Thus, depreciation is $8500 for both the first and second years.
BRIEF EXERCISE 10-4
It is likely that management requested this accounting treatment to boost reported profit. Land is not depreciated; thus, by reporting land at $80 000 above its estimated value and buildings at $80

The depreciation cost per unit is 20 cents per km computed as follows:
Depreciable cost ($30 500 – $500) ÷ 150 000 km = $0.20
Year 1 30 000 km × $0.20 = $6000

Carrying amount cannot be higher than recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of selling price (net of costs) and value in use. Thus the equipment’s recoverable amount is $30 000 ($30 000 > $20 000). Therefore, the equipment has to be written down to its recoverable amount. The $15 000 impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement. BRIEF EXERCISE 10-9
