PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) – (PAS 16) are tangible assets that are;
a) Are held for use in the production or supply of goods and services, for rental to others, or for
administrative purposes; and
b) Are expected to be used during more than one accounting period.
Measurement at Initial Recognition - At Cost, the components of which are:
a) Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade
discounts and rebates.
b) Costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management; and
c) The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it
is located.
Purchase Price of PPE Depending on the Mode of Acquisition
a) Cash Purchase – purchase price is the amount of cash that is paid
b) Purchase on Account with Available Cash Discount – purchase price is the invoice price less cash discount
whether taken or not
c) Purchase under Deferred Payment Plan – purchase price is the cash equivalent prince
d) Acquisition by Issuance of Equity Securities – purchase price is the fair value of the PPE acquired
e) Acquisition by Donation – PPE is valued at their fair values
f) Acquisition through Non-Monetary Exchange – PPE is valued at follows:
1. Transaction with Commercial Substance:
Fair Value of the old asset Pxxx
Cash Paid xxx or
Cash Received (xxx)
Valuation of New Asset Pxxx

2. Transaction Lacking of Commercial Substance:

Carrying Value of the old asset Pxxx
Cash Paid xxx or
Cash Received (xxx)
Pxxx
Examples of Directly Attributable Costs
a. Costs of site preparation
b. Initial delivery and handling costs
c. Installation and assembly costs
d. Costs of testing whether the asset is functioning
*Note that under the PAS/IAS 16 amendment (Proceeds before intended use) effective for annual periods
beginning or after January 1, 2022, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an asset to the
location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management is
prohibited from being deducted from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment. Instead, an entity
recognizes the proceeds from selling such items and the cost of producing those items, in the profit or loss.
Subsequent Costs of Property Plant and Equipment-examples are replacements of parts, inspection
costs, repairs and maintenance costs. These subsequent costs are capitalized when the asset recognition
criteria are met, and the cost of the replaced part are derecognized. Below are indicators that the subsequent
costs are to be capitalized:
• An extension in asset’s estimated life;
• An increase in output capacity;
• A substantial improvement in product quality or service potential, and
• Significant reduction in previously assessed operating costs
Depreciation – is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
Depreciation Method Computation of Annual Depreciation
Straight Line (Cost – Salvage Value)/Total Economic Life in Years
Sum-of-the-Years’ Digits (Cost – Salvage Value) x Estimated Useful Life, Beg of Year
(n) (n + 1)
2
Double-Declining Balance (Cost – Accumulated Depreciation, Beg) x 2/Total Life in Years
150% Declining-Balance (Cost – Accumulated Depreciation, Beg) x 1.5/Total Life in Years
Valuation at Reporting Date – a choice of either the Cost Model or the Revaluation Model:
Cost Model- the class of PPE shall be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation any accumulated
impairment loss
Revaluation Model- the class of PPE shall be carried at revalued amount less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses
Gain or Loss on Derecognition
This is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at date of
disposal.

AUDITING PRACTICE
Significant Business Process: Acquire to Retire (Formerly Investing Cycle)
PROBLEM 1: (COMPREHENSIVE: INITIAL AND BS MEASUREMENT)
Braid Corp. started business on January 1, 2019, by purchasing two equipment having the following list prices:
Equipment A P800,000
Equipment B 750,000
These equipment were acquired under credit term of 10/10, n/30. The company failed to pay within the discount
period. The assets were recorded at the total amount paid. Since the date of purchase, the company has charged
depreciation at 20% on the balance of the asset account at the end of each year. The amount of depreciation
computed on each year has been credited directly to the asset account. Moreover, all purchases since the
inception of the operations have been debited to the equipment account. Cash proceeds from the disposal of
equipment were credited to the same account.

Page 4 of 8 0915-2303213  www.resacpareview.com

ReSA – THE REVIEW SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTANCY FARAP-4504
PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

All the Equipment were estimated to have a useful life of 5 years and were supposed to be depreciated under the
straight-line method. Salvage value on all equipment is estimated at 10% of the correct initial cost.

Your first-time audit of the equipment account in 2021 revealed the following information:
• On March 31, 2019, Equipment C was purchased on an installment basis at total installment price of
P1,080,000. The installment contract called for 12 monthly payments of P90,000. The equipment had a
cash price of P850,000. Freight and handling charges including insurance while in transit amounting to
P30,000 was incurred and charged as outright expense. The company recorded Equipment C at the total
installment price.

• On June 30, 2020, Equipment D was purchased by paying P400,000 cash down-payment and issuing
P1,200,000 note payable due at P400,000 annually thereafter. The company incurred P60,000 in
installation cost and is estimated to incur P69,202 in dismantling cost upon its retirement. The market
rate of interest on this date was at 12%. The company recorded the equipment at P1.6M and charged the
installation cost to expense.

• On September 30, 2020, Equipment E was acquired in exchange of a parcel of land located. The equipment
had a fair value of P920,000. The land had a carrying value of P1.4M and a fair market value of P1.5M.
Cash amounting to P580,000 was received from the exchange. Future cash flows related to the assets
exchanged are considered significant. The company recorded the equipment at the book value of the land
given up net of the cash received.

• On March 30, 2021, Equipment B was traded for Equipment F, which had a cash price of P1,050,000. The
company paid P500,000 in the trade-in transaction. The company recorded the trade-in by debiting the
equipment account for the cash payment.

• On July 1, 2021, Equipment C was sold for P500,000. The company incurred cost to sell on the machinery
amounting to P8,000. The equipment account was credited for the net cash received.
Requirements:
1. What is the gain or loss on exchange on September 30, 2020?
2. Assuming that the exchange on September 30, 2020, was considered with no commercial substance, how
much should the equipment be initial recognized and how much is the gain or loss should be recognized?
3. What is the gain or loss on the trade-in on March 30, 2021?
4. What is the gain or loss on the disposal of Equipment C on July 1, 2021?
5. How much is the total depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021?
6. What is the total carrying value of all the equipment as of December 31, 2021?

PROBLEM 3: (COST MODEL: IMPAIRMENT LOSS)

The Kit Corp. is assessing one of its factories for impairment as of December 31, 2021 due to a competitor
launching a more superior product rivaling the product line being produced by the factory. The factory produces
one of the company’s product lines and is considered a separate cash generating unit from the rest of its other
factories. The assets in the factory included the Land (Cost: P1M); Building (Cost: P6M) and an Equipment (ABC)
(Cost: P2M) which were acquired in January of 2018 (when the product line has been launched). Another
Equipment (DEF) (Cost: P3M) was acquired in January of 2020 (when the product line was expanded). The
building had a useful life of 20 years while the equipment were estimated to have a useful life of 10 years. Assets
are being depreciated under the straight-line method to zero residual value.
Individual cash flows related to each asset comprising the factory cannot be ascertained thus you suggested that
the company treat the factory as a single cash generating unit for the purpose of applying PAS 36, Impairment
of assets. A cash generating unit as defined by the said standards is the smallest identifiable group of assets that
generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.

As a result of the introduction of a more superior product by the competitor, the client ascertained that the product
being currently produced by the factory can now only generate cash flows for the company for the next five years,
after which the assets in the factory can be disposed for a total of lump-sum of P1.4M. The following presents the
estimates of the said cash flows (pre-tax):

Year Revenues Expense, excluding

Depreciation
2022 P4,200,000 P1,680,000
2023 3,800,000 1,910,000
2024 3,200,000 2,050,000
2025 2,400,000 1,610,000
2026 1,300,000 800,000
The fair value of the group of assets net of estimated disposition costs was determined to be P6.5M. The prevailing
pre-tax discount rate appropriate for this analysis is 6% while post-tax discount rate is at 8%.
Requirements:
1. What is the value in use of the group of assets?
2. How much is the recoverable amount of the group of assets?
3. How much is the impairment loss?
4. Assuming that the land had a fair market value less cost to sell at P1.2M what is the carrying value of the
building after impairment loss recognition?

PROBLEM 4: (REVALUATION MODEL)

Seth Company acquired a machine on January 1, 2018, at a cost of P1,500,000. It was expected to have a useful
economic life of 10 years. The comany uses the straight-line method in depreciating its machinery and equipment
and reports on a calendar year basis.

On December 31, 2021, the machine was appraised as having a gross replacement cost of P2,700,000. Seth
applies the revaluation model in valuing this class of property, plant, and equipment after its initial recognition.

Requirements:
1. How much is the depreciation expense in 2022?
2. How much is the balance of the revaluation surplus account on December 31, 2022, assuming that the
company uses the “Piecemeal basis” of transferring the revaluation surplus to retained earnings?
3. What is the carrying value of the machine on December 31, 2022?
4. Assuming that the machinery was sold on December 31, 2023, at P1,400,000, what is the gain or loss to
be recognized in the profit or loss for 2023 and how much revaluation surplus should be transferred as a
“lump-sum” to retained earnings?
5. Assuming that the fair market value of the equipment is P2.45M on December 31, 2021, what is the
balance of the revaluation surplus on December 31, 2022, if the “Piecemeal basis” of transferring the
revaluation surplus to retained earnings is adopted?
