SECTION1 Plant Assets

Plant assets are resources that have
physical substance (a definite size and shape),
are used in the operations of a business,
are not intended for sale to customers,
are expected to provide service to the company for a

number of years, except for land.
Referred to as property, plant, and equipment; plant and

equipment; and fixed assets.
10-4
Plant Assets
Plant assets are critical to a companys success
Illustration 10-1
10-5
Determining the Cost of Plant Assets

Cost Principle - requires that companies record plant
assets at cost.
Cost consists of all expenditures necessary to
acquire an asset and make it ready for its intended use.
10-6
SO 1 Describe how the cost principle applies to plant assets.

Land
All necessary costs incurred in making land ready for its
intended use increase (debit) the Land account.
Costs typically include:
1) cash purchase price,
2) closing costs such as title and attorneys fees,
3) real estate brokers commissions, and
4) accrued property taxes and other liens on the land
assumed by the purchaser.
10-7

Illustration: Hayes Manufacturing Company acquires real
estate at a cash cost of $100,000. The property contains an old
warehouse that is razed at a net cost of $6,000 ($7,500 in costs
less $1,500 proceeds from salvaged materials). Additional
expenditures are the attorneys fee, $1,000, and the real estate
brokers commission, $8,000.
Required: Determine the amount to be reported as the cost of
the land.

Natural resources consist of standing timber and
underground deposits of oil, gas, and minerals.
Distinguishing characteristics:
10-44
Physically extracted in operations.
Replaceable only by an act of nature.
SO 7 Compute periodic depletion of natural resources.
Natural Resources
Cost - price needed to acquire the resource and prepare it for
its intended use.
Depletion - allocation of the cost to expense in a rational and

systematic manner over the resources useful life.
10-45
Depletion is to natural resources as depreciation is to

plant assets.
Companies generally use units-of-activity method.
Depletion generally is a function of the units extracted.
Natural Resources

Key Points
10-67
The definition for plant assets for both IFRS and GAAP is
essentially the same.
Both international standards and GAAP follow the cost

principle when accounting for property, plant, and equipment at
date of acquisition.
Under both IFRS and GAAP, interest costs incurred during

construction are capitalized. Recently, IFRS converged to GAAP
requirements in this area.
IFRS, like GAAP, capitalizes all direct costs in self-constructed

assets such as raw materials and labor. IFRS does not address
the capitalization of fixed overhead.
Key Points
10-68
IFRS also views depreciation as an allocation of cost over an

assets useful life. IFRS permits the same depreciation methods
(e.g., straight-line, accelerated, and units-of-activity) as GAAP.
However, a major difference is that IFRS requires component
depreciation. Component depreciation specifies that any
significant parts of a depreciable asset that have different
estimated useful lives should be separately depreciated.
Component depreciation is allowed under GAAP but is seldom
used.
IFRS uses the term residual value, rather than salvage value.
Key Points
10-69
IFRS allows companies to revalue plant assets to fair value at

the reporting date. Companies that choose to use the
revaluation framework must follow revaluation procedures. If
revaluation is used, it must be applied to all assets in a class of
assets. Assets that are experiencing rapid price changes must
be revalued on an annual basis, otherwise less frequent
revaluation is acceptable.
Under both GAAP and IFRS, changes in the depreciation

method used and changes in useful life are handled in current
and future periods. Prior periods are not affected. GAAP
recently conformed to international standards in the accounting
for changes in depreciation methods.
Key Points
10-70
The accounting for subsequent expenditures, such as ordinary

repairs and additions, are essentially the same under IFRS and
GAAP.
The accounting for plant asset disposals is essentially the same

under IFRS and GAAP.
Initial costs to acquire natural resources are essentially the

same under IFRS and GAAP.
The definition of intangible assets is essentially the same under

IFRS and GAAP.
Key Points
10-71
Intangibles generally arise when a company buys another

company. In this case, specific criteria are needed to separate
goodwill from other intangibles. Both GAAP and IFRS follow the
same approach to make this separation, that is, companies
recognize an intangible asset separately from goodwill if the
intangible represents contractual or legal rights or is capable of
being separated or divided and sold, transferred, licensed,
rented, or exchanged. In addition, under both GAAP and IFRS,
companies recognize acquired in-process research and
development (IPR&D) as a separate intangible asset if it meets
the definition of an intangible asset and its fair value can be
measured reliably.
Key Points
10-72
As in GAAP, under IFRS the costs associated with research and

development are segregated into the two components. Costs in
the research phase are always expensed under both IFRS and
GAAP. Under IFRS, however, costs in the development phase
are capitalized as Development Costs once technological
feasibility is achieved.
IFRS permits revaluation of intangible assets (except for

goodwill). GAAP prohibits revaluation of intangible assets.
Key Points
10-73
IFRS requires an impairment test at each reporting date for

plant assets and intangibles and records an impairment if the
assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of the assets fair value less
costs to sell or its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the future cash
flows to be derived from the particular asset, discounted to
present value. Under GAAP, impairment loss is measured as the
excess of the carrying amount over the assets fair value.
Key Points
10-74
IFRS allows reversal of impairment losses when there has been

a change in economic conditions or in the expected use of the
asset. Under GAAP, impairment losses cannot be reversed for
assets to be held and used; the impairment loss results in a
new cost basis for the asset. IFRS and GAAP are similar in the
accounting for impairments of assets held for disposal.
The accounting for exchanges of nonmonetary assets has

recently converged between IFRS and GAAP. GAAP now
requires that gains on exchanges of nonmonetary assets be
recognized if the exchange has commercial substance. This is
the same framework used in IFRS.
Looking to the Future

It is too early to say whether a converged conceptual framework
will recommend fair value measurement (and revaluation
accounting) for plant assets and intangibles. The IASB and FASB
have identified a project that would consider expanded recognition
of internally generated intangible assets. IFRS permits more
recognition of intangibles compared to GAAP. Thus, it will be
challenging to develop converged standards for intangible assets,
given the long-standing prohibition on capitalizing internally
generated intangible assets and research and development costs
in GAAP.
10-75
IFRS Self-Test Questions

Which of the following statements is correct?
a) Both IFRS and GAAP permit revaluation of property, plant,
and equipment and intangible assets (except for
goodwill).
b) IFRS permits revaluation of property, plant, and
equipment and intangible assets (except for goodwill).
c) Both IFRS and GAAP permit revaluation of property, plant,
