Please note:
The lectures will not strictly follow these slides. It is expected and required
that you know the contents of the readings BEFORE the lecture. Consider
these slides as a summary and guideline for the lectures (and later for your
revision) where we will have more examples and discussions around the
topics.
Also, this week’s slides have blanks within certain examples. It is a good
exercise to try to fill the blanks BEFORE the lecture and compare your
attempts with the solutions discussed in the lecture.

assets held for sale – AASB 5
biological assets – AASB 141
mineral rights/reserves – AASB 6
For some purposes, PPE is divided into classes, e.g.
land, buildings, machinery, ships, aircraft, motor vehicles, furniture
and fixtures, office equipment.
7. Initial recognition of PPE

will flow to the entity,
Where future economic benefits are not expected to flow to the
entity, costs incurred should be expensed.
Component parts (with different useful lives) are required to be
separately accounted for:
for example, an aircraft:
- the engine, frame and fittings of an aircraft are likely to have
different useful lives.
8. Initial measurement of PPE
PPE is initially measured at cost, which includes:
purchase price (at fair value);
directly attributable costs required to bring the asset
location and condition necessary for it to operate;
to the
borrowing costs (AASB 123);
Initial estimate of costs of dismantling, removing the item or
restoring the site.
for example, an offshore oil platform
interest paid to finance acquisition, construction or production until ready for use,

includes duties and taxes but excludes rebates and discounts
9. Directly attributable costs
„Directly attributable costs‟
include
a) costs of employee benefits arising from
acquisition of the item of property, plant
costs of site preparation;
initial delivery and handling costs;
installation and assembly costs;
the construction or
and equipment;
b)
c)
d)
e) costs of testing whether asset is functioning properly, after
deducting the net proceeds from selling any items
produced while bringing the asset to that location and
condition (e.g. samples);
professional fees.f)
10. Measurement subsequent to initial
recognition
AASB 116 allows a choice of two possible measurement models:
cost model;
revaluation model.
Accounting policy choice of this decision based primarily on relevance
of information.
The policy that is chosen must be applied to a whole class of assets.
May change policy, but only if it results in reliable and more relevant
information.
Under both models, PPE with a limited useful life need to be
depreciated.
Refer to section 7.6 of text for examples of what constitutes a class of assets
Each model will be discussed in detail
later
11. Depreciation – fundamentals
AASB 116 includes the following definitions:
Depreciation:
the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount
asset over its useful life.
Depreciable amount:
the cost of an asset less its residual value (or other
of an
appropriate amounts substituted for cost – eg. fair value).
Residual value:
the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life to
the entity.
Useful life:
the period over which an asset is expected to be used by an
entity/the number of production (or similar) units expected to
be obtained by the entity.
12. Depreciation – fundamentals (cont‟d)
Depreciation is an allocation process designed to reflect the
decline in the value of the asset in a pattern consistent with the
consumption of economic benefits by the entity.
AASB 116 does not specify how this allocation process should
be undertaken.
Various depreciation methods are used in practice. Common
methods are discussed on the following slides.

In all cases, depreciation expense is
recognised with the following journal:

16. Depreciation – common methods
(cont‟d)
Sum-of-digits method:
this method is appropriate where useful life might be related
more to production output than time and when economic
benefits expected to be derived are greater in the early
years than later years
depreciation expense:
- (cost - residual value) is multiplied by successively smaller
fractions to calculate depreciation expense;
numerator in fraction - changes each year, and is the years
remaining of the asset’s useful life at the beginning of the
period;

19. The revaluation model - fundamentals
As an alternative to the cost model AASB 116 allows the
revaluation model to be used for classes of assets.
Revaluation: adjustment of PPE’s carrying amount so that
reflects its current fair value.
Measurement basis is fair value (FV).
Frequency of revaluations is not specified, but must be
performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying
amount of assets is not materially different from their FV.
Revaluation performed on a class basis.
Accounting performed on an asset-by-asset basis.

22. The revaluation model:
revaluation increments (cont‟d)
AASB 116 requires the tax effects of the revaluation to be considered
and the ARS account to be recognised net of the resulting tax effect.
This is achieved by debiting a special type of income tax expense as
part of other comprehensive income (OCI) and crediting a deferred tax
liability (DTL).
An upwards revaluation of an asset creates a taxable temporary
difference (TTD) leading to a deferred tax liability (DTL).
For plant A this would be calculated as:
CA – TB = TTD x 30% = DTL
150,000 – 100,000 = 50,000 x 30% = 15,000

all other differences between accounting profit and taxable income (see week 3 topic).

31. The revaluation model:
depreciation of revalued assets
When an asset is revalued, the depreciation charge
to be recorded over the remaining useful life of the
asset is recalculated by reference to the fair value of
the asset.
32. The revaluation model:
comprehensive example
On 30 June 2011 the statement of financial position of A LTD showed
the following non-current assets after charging depreciation:
Description $
Building 300,000
Accumulated depreciation - Building (100,000)
Plant 120,000
Accumulated depreciation - Plant (40,000)
33. The revaluation model:
comprehensive example (cont‟d)
The company has adopted the revaluation model for the measurement
of all property, plant and equipment. This has resulted in the
recognition in previous periods of an asset revaluation surplus for the
building of $ 14,000. The plant consists of a machine purchased on the
1 July, 2010. On 30 June 2011, an independent valuer assessed the
fair value of the building to be $160,000 and the plant to be $ 90,000.
The income tax rate is 30%.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries to revalue the building and the plant as at
30 June 2011.
2. Assume that the building and plant had remaining useful lives of 5 years
and 4 years respectively, with zero residual value. Prepare the journal
entries to record depreciation expense for the year ended 30 June 2012
using the straight line method.

37. The revaluation model:
transfers from ARS
Transfers may be made from the ARS in the following
circumstances:
When a revalued asset is derecognised (ie scrapped or
sold) → the balance in the ARS may be transferred to
retained earnings.
When a revalued asset is being depreciated → the ARS
may be progressively transferred to retained earnings over
the useful life of the asset.

39. Accounting for gains/losses from
derecognition
Note: Assets classified ‘held for sale’ are treated according to AASB 5
→ the following applies only to PPE which has not been classified as
‘held for sale’.
Gain or loss from derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is to be calculated as the difference between (AASB 116):
net disposal proceeds (if any); and
the asset’s carrying amount.
Derecognition
the point in time when an asset is removed from the statement of financial
position (balance sheet):
-
-
when an asset is sold; or
when no future economic benefits are expected from an asset’s use or
disposal.
40. Accounting for gains/losses from
derecognition (cont‟d)
Example:
A Ltd acquired a machine on 1 July 2007 for $50,000;
Useful life = 4 years; residual value = $10,000;
On 1 July 2009 the machine was sold for $45,000.

41. Accounting for gains/losses from
derecognition (cont‟d)
When an revalued asset is sold, any resulting
balance in the revaluation surplus (AASB 116)
may be transferred directly to retained earnings;
cannot be transferred to profit/loss (i.e. the so-called
‘recycling’ is not allowed);
hence, for non-current assets under the revaluation
model any gain on sale shown in profit/loss will be less
than for assets under the cost model.
42. Disclosure requirements
For each class of property, plant and equipment the
following must be disclosed (AASB 116):
measurement basis used for gross carrying amount;
depreciation methods used;
useful lives or depreciation rates used;
gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation
at beginning and end of period;
reconciliation of carrying amount at beginning and end
of period.
43. Disclosure requirements (cont‟d)
The required disclosures regarding asset revaluations
(AASB 116) are:
effective date of revaluation;
whether an independent valuer was involved;
methods and assumptions applied;
extent to which fair values were determined, with reference to
observable prices in active markets or recent market transactions;
for each revalued class, the carrying amount if the cost model was
used;
the revaluation surplus, indicating the change for the period and
any restrictions on distribution of the balance to shareholders.
