Land• Shown on the balance sheet at its original cost

• Cost includes all ordinary and necessary items to get the land ready for its intended use

• Land acquired for investment or potential future use is classified as a noncurrent, nonoperating asset

• Land is not depreciated

• Gains and losses on the sale of land are recognized as the difference between the cost of the land and the amount received

Capitalization• Expenditures should be capitalized if the item

acquired will have an economic benefit beyond the current fiscal year

• Capitalized assets – except land – are depreciated

• Depreciation expense is recognized over the useful life of the asset

• Materiality concept is applied to capitalization

• Accounting judgment plays a role in determination of capitalization

Expense

• Expenditures should be expensed if the item acquired will not have an economic benefit beyond the current fiscal year

• Expenditures for preventive maintenance are expensed

• Items are expensed if their costs are not material, even if they have a useful life of several years

Basket Purchase Allocation

• When two or more items are purchased in a single transaction, the cost of each asset must be determined

• The allocation of the purchase price is made based on the relative appraisal values of each asset to the total

• See Exhibit 6-2 in text

Depreciation for Financial Accounting Purposes

• An application of the matching concept since an asset is a prepaid cost

• A portion of the cost should be subtracted from the revenues that are generated through the use of the asset

• Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of an asset to the time periodsbenefited

Recording Depreciation

• The expense “Depreciation Expense” is increased

• The contra asset account “Accumulated Depreciation” is increased

• The journal entry is as follows:

Depreciation Expense XX

Accumulated Depreciation XX

Page 15: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Depreciation Details

• The balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is the cumulative total of all depreciation expense recorded over the life of the asset

• Net book value is the cost of the asset less the accumulated depreciation

• Note: cash is not involved in the depreciation entry

Learning Objective 3

• What are the alternative methods of calculating depreciation for financial accounting purposes, and what are the relative effects of each on the income statement (depreciation expense) and the balance sheet (accumulated depreciation)?

Page 17: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Depreciation Methods

• Accelerated depreciation results in greater depreciation expense and lower net income during the early years of an asset’s life

• Straight-line depreciation results in even amounts of depreciation being taken over the life of the asset

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 18: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Depreciation Calculation Methods

• The specific depreciation calculation methods are:

– Straight-line

– Units of production

– Sum-of-the-years’-digits

– Declining balance

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 19: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Straight-Line Depreciation

• Annual amount of depreciation is calculated as follows:

Cost – Estimated salvage value

Estimated useful life

• The same amount of depreciation expense is taken each year

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 20: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Units-of-Production Depreciation• The depreciation expense per unit

produced is calculated as follows:

Cost – Estimated salvage valueEstimated total units to be made

• The depreciation expense for the period is calculated by multiplying the number of units produced that period timesthe depreciation expenseper unit

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 21: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Sum-of-the-Years’ Digits Depreciation

• Annual depreciation expense is calculated as follows:

(Cost – Estimated salvage value) x

Remaining life in years

Sum-of-the-years’ digits

• Results in greater depreciationexpense earlier in the lifeof the asset

Page 22: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Declining-Balance Depreciation

• Annual depreciation expense is calculated as follows:

Double the Asset’s net book straight-line X value at beginning depreciation rate of year

• Greater depreciation expense istaken earlier in the life of the asset

Page 24: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Depreciation Expense for Income Tax Purposes

• Depreciation is a deductible expense for income tax purposes

• In 1981, ACRS was placed in use

• In 1986, MACRS lengthened the lives of the assets for depreciation purposes and additional categories were added

• Most firms do not use income tax depreciation methods for financial reporting purposes – tax rules are subject to frequent changeMcGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 25: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Learning Objective 5

• What is the accounting treatment of maintenance and repair expenditures?

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 26: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Maintenance and Repair Expenditures

• Preventative maintenance expenditures and routine repair costs are expenses of the period in which they were incurred

• If a maintenance expenditure will extend the useful life or salvage value of an asset beyond that originally used in the depreciation expense calculation, the expenditure should be capitalized

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 27: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 28: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Disposal of Depreciable Assets

• When a depreciable asset is sold or scrapped, both the asset and the related accumulated depreciation account must be reduced by the appropriate amounts

• If net book value is greater than amount received, a loss will result

• If net book value is less than the amount received, a gain will result

Page 30: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Assets Acquired by Capital Lease

• Operating lease – just the use of the asset; does not involve any attributes of ownership

• Capital lease (financing lease) – lessee (renter) assumes all of the risks and benefits of ownership

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 31: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Capital Lease Criteria• A lease is categorized as a capital lease if

any of the following apply:

– The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee

– The lease permits the lessee to purchase the asset at a nominal price at the end of the lease

– The lease term is at least 75% of the asset’s economic life

– The present value of the lease payments is at least 90% of the fair value of the asset

Page 32: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Learning Objective 8

• What are the similarities in the financial statement effects of buying an asset compared to using a capital lease to acquire the rights to an asset?

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 33: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Similarities of Buying and Leasing

• Before the FASB lease standard was issued in 1976, many capital leases were not reported in the financial statements

• Leases not appearing on financial statements is called off-balance-sheet financing

• Now both the asset and the related liability are reported on the balance sheet

McGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002

Page 34: CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR AND PRESENTATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER NONCURRENT ASSETS McGraw-Hill/Irwin©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

Lease Transactions• A lease payment reduces cash, reduces the

lease liability, and increases interest expense:

• Interest expense XX

Capital lease liability XX

Cash XX

• The leased asset is depreciated:

Depreciation expense XX

Accumulated depreciation XXMcGraw-Hill/Irwin ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2002
