 LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1
Depreciation—A Method Describe depreciation
concepts and methods of
of Cost Allocation depreciation.

Depreciation is the accounting process of allocating the cost

of tangible assets to expense in a systematic and rational
manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of
the asset.

Allocating costs of long-lived assets:

 Fixed assets = Depreciation expense

 Intangibles = Amortization expense

 Mineral resources = Depletion expense

11-3 LO 1
 Depreciation—Method of Cost Allocation

Factors Involved in the Depreciation Process

Three basic questions:
1. What depreciable base is to be used?
2. What is the asset’s useful life?
3. What method of cost apportionment is best?

 Factors Involved in Depreciation Process

Estimation of Service Lives

 Service life often differs from physical life.
 Companies retire assets for two reasons:
1. Physical factors (casualty or expiration of physical
life).

2. Economic factors (inadequacy, supersession, and

obsolescence).

11-6 LO 1
 Depreciation—Method of Cost Allocation

Methods of Depreciation
The profession requires the method employed be “systematic
and rational.” Methods used include:

1. Activity method (units of use or production).

2. Straight-line method.

3. Diminishing (accelerated)-charge methods:

a. Sum-of-the-years’-digits.

b. Declining-balance method.

Depreciation and Partial Periods

How should companies compute depreciation for partial
periods?

 Companies determine the depreciation expense for the full

year and then

 prorate this depreciation expense between the two periods

involved.

This process should continue throughout the useful life of the

asset.

11-18 LO 2
 Depreciation and Partial Periods

Illustration—(Four Methods): Maserati SpA purchased a new machine

for its assembly process on August 1, 2019. The cost of this machine
was €150,000. The company estimated that the machine would have
a salvage value of €24,000 at the end of its service life. Its life is
estimated at 5 years and its working hours are estimated at 21,000
hours. Year-end is December 31.

Instructions: Compute the depreciation expense under the following

methods.
(a) Straight-line depreciation. (c) Sum-of-the-years’-digits.

estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with a residual value
of $10,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been
recorded for 7 years on a straight-line basis. In 2019 (year 8), it
is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years
with a residual value of $5,000 at the end of that time.

Impairments Explain the accounting
issues related to asset
impairment.

Recognizing Impairments
A long-lived tangible asset is impaired when a company is not
able to recover the asset’s carrying amount either through
using it or by selling it.

On an annual basis, companies review the asset for indicators

of impairments—that is, a decline in the asset’s cash-generating
ability through use or sale.

11-29 LO 3
 Recognizing Impairments

If impairment indicators are present, then an impairment test

must be conducted.

Case 1
At December 31, 2020, Hanoi Ltd. has equipment with a cost of
VND26,000,000, and accumulated depreciation of VND12,000,000. The
equipment has a total useful life of four years with a residual value of
VND2,000,000. The following information relates to this equipment.
1. The equipment’s carrying amount at December 31, 2020, is
VND14,000,000 (VND26,000,000 - VND12,000,000).
2. Hanoi uses straight-line depreciation. Hanoi’s depreciation was
VND6,000,000 [(VND26,000,000 - VND2,000,000) ÷ 4] for 2020
and is recorded.
3. Hanoi has determined that the recoverable amount for this asset at
December 31, 2020, is VND11,000,000.
4. The remaining useful life of the equipment after December 31,
2020, is two years.

Case 2
At the end of 2019, Verma Company tests a machine for impairment. The
machine has a carrying amount of $200,000. It has an estimated remaining
useful life of five years. Because there is little market-related information on
which to base a recoverable amount based on fair value, Verma
determines the machine’s recoverable amount should be based on value-
in-use. Verma uses a discount rate of 8 percent. Verma’s analysis indicates
that its future cash flows will be $40,000 each year for five years, and it will
receive a residual value of $10,000 at the end of the five years. It is
assumed that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.

 Can write up or down an asset held for disposal in future

periods, as long as the carrying amount after the write up
never exceeds the carrying amount of the asset before

APPENDIX 11A
Equipment

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 7
Illustrate revaluation accounting procedures.

The general rules for revaluation accounting are as follows.

1. When a company revalues its long-lived tangible assets above

historical cost, it reports an unrealized gain that increases other
comprehensive income.

2. If a company experiences a loss on impairment (decrease of

value below historical cost), the loss reduces income and
retained earnings. Thus, gains on revaluation increase equity
but not net income.

11-58 LO 7
 Revaluation of Property, Plant, and
APPENDIX 11A
Equipment

3. If a revaluation increase reverses a decrease that was

previously reported as an impairment loss, a company credits
the revaluation increase to income using the account Recovery
of Impairment Loss up to the amount of the prior loss. Any
additional valuation increase above historical cost increases
other comprehensive income and is credited to Unrealized Gain
on Revaluation.

4. If a revaluation decrease reverses an increase that was

reported as an unrealized gain, a company first reduces other
comprehensive income by eliminating the unrealized gain. Any
additional valuation decrease reduces net income and is
reported as a loss on impairment.

 Recognizing Revaluation

Revaluations Issues
Company can select to value only one class of assets, say
buildings, and not revalue other assets such as land or equipment.
If a company selects only buildings,
► revaluation applies to all assets in that class of assets.
► A class of assets is a grouping of items that have a similar nature
and use in a company’s operations.
► Companies must also make every effort to keep the assets’
values up to date.
