2. Chapter 18 Accounting for Long-Term Assets

3. 1 Determine the cost of property, plant, and equipment.

4. LONG-TERM ASSETS Property, plant, and equipment –Tangible and used in the operations of the business –Also called plant assets or fixed assets –Examples: Land, buildings, furniture and equipment Wasting assets –Natural resources consumed in the operation of the business Intangible assets –Long-term assets that have no physical substance –Examples: Patents, copyrights, trademarks

5. LONG-TERM ASSETS Long-term assets (except land) gradually wear out or are used up as time passes –The portion that has been used up or worn out is recognized as an expense Plant asset – “depreciation” Natural resources – “depletion” Intangible assets – “amortization” –Process of cost allocation Not a process of valuation Not intended to make the assets reflect their market values on the balance sheet

6. LAND Cost includes: –All amounts spent to purchase the land and prepare it for its intended use, including costs for: Legal and real estate fees Cost of removing old buildings Grading the land Special tax assessments

7. LAND IMPROVEMENTS Costs related to land that are not permanent in nature –Cost includes: Planting trees and shrubs Installing fences Paving parking areas –Depreciated over their expected useful lives

8. BUILDINGS Cost includes: –Purchase price If purchase price includes land, the cost of land and building must be determined and accounted for separately –Legal fees and related taxes If the building is constructed, the cost includes material, labor, architectural, and engineering fees –Insurance premiums and interest on loans during construction Interest on loans DURING CONSTRUCTION is debited to the asset account, but interest AFTER the asset is put into service is debited to an expense account.

9. EQUIPMENT Cost includes: –Purchase price –Transportation charges –Insurance while in transit –Installation costs –Any other costs that are incurred up to the point of placing the asset in service

10. 2 Explain the nature and purpose of depreciation.

13. DEPRECIATION Two major types: Physical depreciation –The loss of usefulness because of deterioration Functional depreciation –The loss of usefulness because of inadequacy or obsolescence

14. 3 Compute depreciation using the straight-line, declining-balance, sum-of- the-years’-digits, and units- of-production methods.

15. DEPRECIATION Cost – The sum of all amounts spent to acquire an asset and prepare it for its intended use The new asset had a cost of $10,000. What did we pay for the new asset?

16. DEPRECIATION Useful life – The amount of service expected to be obtained from an asset Be careful! We only want to know how long our company will use the asset, not how long the asset could last. How long will the asset be used?

17. DEPRECIATION Useful life – The amount of service expected to be obtained from an asset We plan on using it for 4 years. How long will the asset be used?

18. DEPRECIATION Salvage value – The estimated scrap, or market, value for the asset on its expected disposal date We feel we can sell it for $1,000 after using it for 4 years. What can we get for it when we’re through with it?

19. FOUR COMMON DEPRECIATION METHODS The most commonly used depreciation methods for financial reporting purposes are: –Straight-line method –Declining-balance method –Sum-of-the-years’-digits method –Units-of-production method

20. STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD Depreciation is recognized evenly over the years of the asset’s life. FORMULA: (Cost – Salvage Value)($10,000 – $1,000) Cost minus salvage value is also called “depreciable cost.”

21. STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD Depreciation is recognized evenly over the years of the asset’s life. FORMULA: (Cost – Salvage Value) Est. Useful Life ($10,000 – $1,000) 4 Years $2,250 per year

30. DECLINING-BALANCE METHOD Higher depreciation expense in the first year of an asset’s life and gradually decreasing expense in subsequent years. FORMULA: Depreciation Rate

31. DEPRECIATION RATE Commonly, the depreciation rate is twice the straight-line rate. STRAIGHT-LINE RATE FORMULA: 100% Useful Life 100% 4 Years Straight-line rate is 25%

32. DECLINING-BALANCE METHOD Higher depreciation expense in the first year of an asset’s life and gradually decreasing expense in subsequent years. FORMULA: Twice the straight-line rate 2  25% Depreciation Rate 50%

33. DECLINING-BALANCE METHOD Higher depreciation expense in the first year of an asset’s life and gradually decreasing expense in subsequent years. FORMULA: In year 1, Book Value = Cost Depreciation Rate Book Value at Beg. of Year  50%  $10,000

62. UNITS-OF-PRODUCTION METHOD Depreciation is based on the extent to which the asset was used during the year. FORMULA: (Cost – Salvage Value) ($10,000 – $1,000) The asset (a vehicle) is expected to be driven 90,000 miles in its useful life. Step #1 Compute depreciation per unit. Estimated Useful Life in Units 90,000 =

63. UNITS-OF-PRODUCTION METHOD Depreciation is based on the extent to which the asset was used during the year. FORMULA: (Cost – Salvage Value) ($10,000 – $1,000) Step #1 Compute depreciation per unit. Estimated Useful Life in Units 90,000 Depreciation per Mile = $.10 =

64. UNITS-OF-PRODUCTION METHOD Depreciation is based on the extent to which the asset was used during the year. FORMULA: Step #2 Multiply depreciation per unit by the number of units produced or consumed this year. 24,000 miles $.10/mile  Year 1 depreciation is $2,400.

65. UNITS-OF-PRODUCTION METHOD Depreciation is based on the extent to which the asset was used during the year. FORMULA: Step #2 Multiply depreciation per unit by the number of units produced or consumed this year. 24,000 miles $.10/mile  All years are computed in the same manner.

66. DEPRECIATION METHODS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX The method used depends on when the asset was purchased: –Before 1981 Straight-line, declining-balance, sum-of-the- years’-digits, or units-of-production methods –1981–1986 Accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) –After 1986 Modified accelerated cost recovery (MACRS)

67. 4 Account for repairs, maintenance, additions, improvements, and replacements to plant and equipment.

68. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE If the repairs do not extend the life of the asset or improve its usefulness: –Record as an expense –Examples: Replacement of minor parts Lubrication Cleaning

69. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Accounted for in two ways: –If it increases the usefulness of the asset and will provide benefits in future periods: Debit the asset account, increasing book value Depreciate over the remaining life of the asset –If it extends the useful life of the asset, but does not increase its usefulness or efficiency: Debit Accumulated Depreciation, increasing book value

70. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS If at the beginning of 20-2, the company replaced a disk drive on computer A at a cost of $400. EXAMPLE: A business purchased two computers on January 1, 20-1. Both computers were purchased for $6,500, are estimated to be used for 3 years, and have salvage values of $500. The business uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation. The replacement extends the life of the computer but doesn’t increase its usefulness.

71. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer A 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer A 2,000 12/31/-1 400 1/1/-2 1,600 The replacement is debited to Accumulated Depreciation.

72. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer A 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer A 2,000 12/31/-1 400 1/1/-2 1,600 Book value is now $4,900 ($6,500 – $1,600).

73. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer A 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer A 2,000 12/31/-1 400 1/1/-2 1,600 Depreciation for the remaining two years: (Book value – Salvage value)/Remaining life ($4,900 – $500)/2 years = $2,200 per year

74. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS On January 1, 20-2, the company added a new tape drive backup unit to computer B at a cost of $400. Example: A business purchased two computers on January 1, 20-1. Both computers were purchased for $6,500, are estimated to be used for 3 years, and have salvage values of $500. The business uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation. Adding new components increases the usefulness of the computer.

75. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer B 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer B 2,000 1/1/-2 Debited directly to the asset account 400

76. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer B 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer B 2,000 1/1/-2 Book value is now $4,900 ($6,900 – $2,000). 400 6,900

77. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Computer B 6,500 Accum. Depr.— Computer B 2,000 1/1/-2 400 6,900 Depreciation for the remaining two years: (Book value – Salvage value)/Remaining life ($4,900 – $500)/2 years = $2,200 per year

78. 5 Account for the disposition of property, plant, and equipment.

79. PLANT ASSET DISPOSALS A plant asset can be disposed of in several ways: –Discarded or retired –Sold –Exchanged or traded in for another asset

80. DISCARDING OR RETIRING PLANT ASSETS EXAMPLE: A printer with a cost of $800 and accumulated depreciation of $800 is discarded. There is no gain or loss since the book value is $0.

98. 6 Explain the nature of, purpose of, and accounting for depletion.

99. NATURAL RESOURCES EXAMPLE: A coal mine is acquired at a cost of $1,000,000. No salvage value. Approximately 1,000,000 tons of coal are expected to be mined. Natural resources are “depleted” over time using units-of-production method.

100. NATURAL RESOURCES EXAMPLE: A coal mine is acquired at a cost of $1,000,000. No salvage value. Approximately 1,000,000 tons of coal are expected to be mined. (Cost – Salvage Value)/Tons $1,000,000 1,000,000 tons Depletion is $1.00/ton

101. NATURAL RESOURCES EXAMPLE: During the current year, 180,000 tons of coal were mined and sold. 180,000  $1.00 tons per ton $180,000 depletion

103. 7 Explain the nature of and accounting for intangible assets.

104. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Patents –Give the inventor the exclusive right to produce, use, and sell an invention for a period of 20 years If a company purchases a patent, the amount paid equals the cost of the patent If it develops its own patent, only the fees paid to the government and patent attorneys equals the cost Cost is “amortized” over the patent’s useful life using the straight-line method

105. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Copyrights –Give the exclusive right to the reproduction and sale of a literary, artistic, or musical composition for the life of the holder plus 50 years If a company purchases a copyright, the amount paid equals the cost of the copyright If it develops its own copyrighted content, the cost of obtaining the copyright, itself, is an ordinary expense Cost is “amortized” over a copyright’s useful life using the straight-line method or in proportion of actual sales

106. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Trademarks –Trade names to identify a firm’s merchandise are protected by registering them with the United States Patent Office If a company purchases a trademark, the amount paid equals the cost of the trademark If it develops its own trademark, only the cost to register it is recorded as an asset. Cost is then “amortized” over the trademark’s useful life using the straight-line method
