chapter 11 depreciation, impairments, and depletion acct-30301
TRANSCRIPT
1. Theory of DepreciationDefinition
◦ the systematic and rational allocation of the cost of a fixed asset
Depreciation is an allocation method – not a valuation method
Justification◦matching◦fluctuations in market value too difficult
to determineACCT-3030 2
2. Depreciation FactorsCost – covered in Chapter 10Salvage value – estimatedUseful life
◦useful life vs. physical life◦ functional factors
changes in environment, asset inadequate for intended purpose, obsolescence, supersession
◦physical factors routine wear and tear, deterioration, effects of
continual usage, etc.ACCT-3030 3
3. Selecting Appropriate MethodFactors
◦expected use, expected obsolescence, expected pattern of decline in usefulness of asset, expected contribution of asset to revenue, etc.
Conceptually◦method that most clearly reflects net income
Practically◦method that minimizes bookkeeping expenses◦method that reports highest net income
ConsistencyACCT-3030 4
4. Depreciation MethodsActivity method
◦can be based on output (e.g., units produced)
◦can be based on inputs (e.g., operating hours or miles)
Depr = Cost – Salvage x Productive ServiceExp Life in Units
ACCT-3030 5
4. Depreciation MethodsSum-of-the-years’ digits
◦(cost – savage) x declining fraction◦numerator of fraction
years in life of asset in reverse order
◦denominator of fraction sum of the years compute denominator of fraction as
n (n + 1) 2
ACCT-3030 10
4. Depreciation MethodsDeclining balance
◦remaining BV x fixed rate◦rate is a multiple of the straight line
rate compute straight line rate as: 100% / life
in years
◦rates commonly used: 125%, 150%, 200%
ACCT-3030 12
4. Depreciation Methods Group and Composite methods
◦ assets grouped by common characteristics
◦ average depreciation rate used as if a single unit
◦ depreciation expense = group cost x average rate
Composite◦ refers to collection of dissimilar assets
Group◦ refers to collection of similar assets
Use straight line depreciation method No gain or loss recorded on disposals until entire group
disposed of◦ debit accumulated depreciation for difference between asset’s cost
and the proceeds

ACCT-3030 15
BRIEF EXERCISE 11-6
Asset Depreciation Expense A ($70,000 – $7,000) / 10 = $ 6,300 B ($50,000 – $5,000) / 5 = 9,000 C ($82,000 – $4,000) / 12 = 6,500 $202,000 $16,000 $21,800
Composite rate = $21,800/$202,000 = 10.8%
Composite life = ($202,000 – 16,000) / $21,800 = 8.53 years
4. Depreciation MethodsBRIEF EXERCISE 11-6 ExtensionAsset A was sold for $60,000 on the first day of year 2. Prepare entry to record sale.
Cash 60,000
Accumulated Depreciation 10,000
Equipment 70,000
ACCT-3030 16
4. Depreciation MethodsBRIEF EXERCISE 11-6 ExtensionCalculate depreciation expense for year 2 for the group.
132,000 x 10.8% = 14,256
Depreciation Expense 14,256
Accumulated Depreciation 14,256

4. Depreciation MethodsOther methods Inventory method
◦ sometimes used for large numbers of low cost assetsRetirement and Replacement methods
◦ sometimes used if have large number of similar assets replaced on constant schedule
◦ Retirement method FIFO approach
◦ Replacement method LIFO approach
ExamplesACCT-3030 18
4. Depreciation MethodsPartial years
◦ conventions – must be used consistently half year in first and last year full year in first year and none in last year none in first year and full year in last year nearest month
◦ SYD prorate 12-month blocks of depreciation between years
◦ DB use partial year fraction in first year only
◦ ExampleACCT-3030 19
5. Changes in DepreciationChange in accounting estimate
◦method, salvage, or lifeDepreciate remaining BV over remaining
lifeExample
◦Cost = $11,000
◦Salvage = $1,000
◦Life = 5 years
◦Date Acquired = January 1, 2012ACCT-3030 20
5. Changes in DepreciationSL depreciation: 11,000 – 1,000 / 5
= 2,000During 2015, changed life from 5
years to 7New depreciation used for 2015 and
forward
ACCT-3030 21
BV on 1/1/2015
Cost $ 11,000
Accum Depr (2000 x 3) $ 6,000
BV $ 5,000
New Depreciation Amount
5,000 - 1000 / 4 = 1,000
6. Depletion Depreciable assets retain their physical characteristics
as used Natural resources (coal, gas, oil) are used up
◦ as natural resources used up cost of natural resources allocated to units extracted
Use the units-of-production method◦ determine depletion base (acquisition cost, development
cost, carrying cost)
◦ estimate recoverable units
◦ calculate depletion rate:
Cost of Natural Resource – Residual Value Estimated Recoverable Units
ACCT-3030 22
6. Depletion
Example◦ABC Mining acquired a tract of land
containing ore deposits. Total costs of acquisition and development were $1,100,000. ABC estimated the land contained 40,000 tons of ore, and that the land will be sold for $100,000 after the coal is mined. What is ABC’s depletion rate?
ACCT-3030 23
6. DepletionSolutionDepletion rate = 1,000,000 ÷ 40,000 Tons = $25 Per Ton
Assume ABC mined 13,000 tons this year. What is the total amount of depletion for the year?Depletion = 13,000 tons × $25per ton = $325,000
What is the amount of CGS for the year?ACCT-3030 24
7. ImpairmentsAn impairment occurs when
expected future net cash flows (undiscounted) of an asset are less than the asset’s carrying amount
ACCT-3030 25
7. ImpairmentsTest for impairment
◦ review events for possible impairment◦apply recoverability test to determine if
impairment has occurred impairment occurs if sum of expected future net cash
flows (undiscounted) is less than asset’s carrying amount
◦ if impairment has occurred recognize impairment loss for amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value of asset fair value is market price if active market exists if no market, use present value of expected future net cash flows
ACCT-3030 26
7. Impairments◦ if impaired asset is held for use
new cost basis of asset is the reduced carrying amount
depreciation is taken on new cost basis over asset’s remaining useful life
write-ups of asset’s value are not allowed
◦ if impaired asset is intended to be disposed of reported at the lower-of cost-or-net realizable value recovery of impairment loss is allowed but write-up
cannot exceed carrying amount of asset before impairment
