Chapter 11 Operational Assets: Utilization and

Chapter 11 Operational Assets: Utilization and Impairment QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW OF KEY TOPICS Question 11-1 The terms depreciation, depletion, and amortization all refer to the process of allocating the cost of an operational asset to periods of use. The only difference between the terms is that they refer to different types of operational assets; depreciation for plant and equipment, depletion for natural resources, and amortization for intangibles. Question 11-2 The term depreciation often is confused with a decline in value or worth of an asset. Depreciation is not measured as decline in value from one period to the next. Instead, it involves the distribution of the cost of an asset, less any anticipated residual value, over the asset's estimated useful life in a systematic and rational manner that attempts to match revenues with the use of the asset. Question 11-3 The process of cost allocation for operational assets requires that three factors be established at the time the asset is put into use. These factors are: 1. Service (useful) life The estimated use that the company expects to receive from the asset. 2. Allocation base The value of the usefulness that is expected to be consumed. 3. Allocation method The pattern in which the usefulness is expected to be consumed. Question 11-4 Physical life provides the upper bound for service life. Physical life will vary according to the purpose for which the asset is acquired and the environment in which it is operated. Service life may be less than physical life for several reasons. For example, the expected rate of technological changes may shorten service life. Management intent also may shorten the period of an asset s usefulness below its physical life. For instance, a company may have a policy of using its delivery trucks for a three-year period before trading the trucks for new models. Question 11-5 The total amount of depreciation to be recorded during an asset s service life is called its depreciable base. This amount is the difference between the initial value of the asset at its acquisition (its cost) and its residual value. Residual or salvage value is the amount the company expects to receive for the asset at the end of its service life less any anticipated disposal costs. Solutions Manual, Vol.1, Chapter 11 11-1

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 11-6 Activity-based allocation methods estimate service life in terms of some measure of productivity. Periodic depreciation or depletion is then determined based on the actual productivity generated by the asset during the period. Time-based allocation methods estimate service life in years. Periodic depreciation or amortization is then determined based on the passage of time. Question 11-7 The straight-line depreciation method allocates an equal amount of depreciable base to each year of an asset s service life. Accelerated depreciation methods allocate higher portions of depreciable base to the early years of the asset s life and lower amounts of depreciable base to later years. Total depreciation is the same by either approach. Question 11-8 Theoretically, the use of activity-based depreciation methods would provide a better matching of revenues and expenses. Clearly, the productivity of a plant asset is more closely associated with the benefits provided by that asset than the mere passage of time. However, activity-based methods quite often are either infeasible or too costly to use. For example, buildings do not have an identifiable measure of productivity. For assets such as machinery, there may be an identifiable measure of productivity, such as machine hours or units produced, but it is more costly to determine the amount each period than it is to simply measure the passage of time. For these reasons, most companies use time-based depreciation methods. Question 11-9 Companies might use the straight-line method because they consider that the benefits derived from the majority of plant assets are realized approximately evenly over these assets useful lives. It also is the easiest method to understand and apply. The effect on net income also could explain why so many companies prefer the straight-line method to the accelerated methods. Straight line produces a higher net income in the early years of an asset s life. Net income can affect bonuses paid to management, or debt agreements with lenders. Income taxes are not a factor in determining the depreciation method because a company is not required to use the same depreciation method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Question 11-10 The group approach to aggregation is applied to a collection of depreciable assets that share similar service lives and other attributes. For example, group depreciation could be used for fleets of vehicles or collections of machinery. The composite approach to aggregation is applied to dissimilar operating assets, such as all of the depreciable assets in one manufacturing plant. Individual assets in the composite may have diverse service lives. Both approaches are similar in that they involve applying a single straight-line rate based on the average service lives of the assets in the group or composite. 11-2 Intermediate Accounting, 4/e

Answers to Questions (continued) Question 11-11 The allocation of the cost of a natural resource to periods of use is called depletion. The process otherwise is identical to depreciation. The activity-based units-of-production method is the predominant method used to calculate depletion, not the time-based straight-line method. Question 11-12 The amortization of intangible assets is based on the same concepts as depreciation and depletion. The capitalized cost of an intangible asset that has a finite useful life must be allocated to the periods the company expects the asset to contribute to its revenue generating activities. Intangibles, though, generally have no residual values, so the amortizable base is simply cost. Also, intangibles possess no physical life to provide an upper bound to service life. However, most intangibles have a legal or contractual life that limits useful life. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, including goodwill, are not amortized. Question 11-13 A company can calculate depreciation based on the actual number of days or months the asset was used during the year. A common simplifying convention is to record one-half of a full year s expense in the years of acquisition and disposal. This is known as the half-year convention. The modified half-year convention records a full year s expense when the asset is acquired in the first half of the year or sold in the second half. No expense is recorded when the asset is acquired in the second half of the year or sold in the first half. Question 11-14 A change in the service life of an operational asset is accounted for as a change in an estimate. The change is accounted for prospectively by simply depreciating the remaining depreciable base of the asset (book value at date of change less estimated residual value) over the revised remaining service life. Question 11-15 A change in depreciation method is accounted for prospectively by simply depreciating the remaining depreciable base of the asset (book value at date of change less estimated residual value) over the revised remaining service life using the new depreciation method, exactly as we would account for a change in estimate. One difference is that most changes in estimate do not require a company to justify the change. However, this change in estimate is a result of changing an accounting principle and therefore requires a clear justification as to why the new method is preferable. A disclosure note reports the effect of the change on net income and earnings per share along with clear justification for changing depreciation methods. Solutions Manual, Vol.1, Chapter 11 11-3

Answers to Questions (concluded) Question 11-16 If a material error is discovered in an accounting period subsequent to the period in which the error is made, previous years financial statements that were incorrect as a result of the error are retrospectively restated to reflect the correction. Any account balances that are incorrect as a result of the error are corrected by journal entry. If retained earnings is one of the incorrect accounts, the correction is reported as a prior period adjustment to the beginning balance in the statement of shareholders equity. In addition, a disclosure note is needed to describe the nature of the error and the impact of its correction on net income, income before extraordinary item, and earnings per share. Question 11-17 An impairment in the value of an operational asset results when there has been a significant decline in value below carrying value (book value). For tangible operational assets and intangibles with finite useful lives, GAAP require an entity to recognize an impairment loss only when the undiscounted sum of estimated future cash flows from an asset is less than the asset s book value. The loss recognized is the amount by which the book value exceeds the fair value of the asset or group of assets when the fair value is readily determinable. If fair value is not determinable, it must be estimated. One method of estimating fair value is to compute the present value of estimated future cash flows from the asset or group of assets. For intangible operational assets other than goodwill, if book value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the differences. For goodwill, an impairment loss is indicated if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value. A goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of book value of goodwill over its implied fair value. For operational assets held for sale, if book value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. Question 11-18 Repairs and maintenance are expenditures made to maintain a given level of benefits provided by the asset and do not increase future benefits. Expenditures for these activities should be expensed in the period incurred. Additions involve adding a new major component to an existing asset. These expenditures usually are capitalized. Improvements are expenditures for the replacement of a major component of an operational asset. The costs of improvements usually are capitalized. Rearrangements are expenditures to restructure an operational asset without addition, replacement, or improvement. The objective is to create a new capability for the asset and not necessarily to extend useful life. The costs of material rearrangements should be capitalized if they clearly increase future benefits. 11-4 Intermediate Accounting, 4/e

BRIEF EXERCISES Brief Exercise 11-1 Depreciation is a process of cost allocation, not valuation. Koeplin should not record depreciation expense of $18,000 for year one of the machine s life. Instead, it should distribute the cost of the asset, less any anticipated residual value, over the estimated useful life in a systematic and rational manner that attempts to match revenues with the use of the asset, not the periodic decline in its value.

Brief Exercise 11-8 In general, we report voluntary changes in accounting principles retrospectively. However, a change in depreciation method is considered a change in accounting estimate resulting from a change in accounting principle. In other words, a change in the depreciation method reflects a change in the (a) estimated future benefits from the asset, (b) the pattern of receiving those benefits, or (c) the company s knowledge about those benefits, and therefore the two events should be reported the same way. Accordingly, Robotics reports the change prospectively; previous financial statements are not revised. Instead, the company simply employs the double-declining balance method from now on. The undepreciated cost remaining at the time of the change would be depreciated DDB over the remaining useful life. A disclosure note should justify that the change is preferable and describe the effect of the change on any financial statement line items and per share amounts affected for all periods reported. Asset s cost $9,000,000 Accumulated depreciation to date* (640,000) Undepreciated cost, Jan. 1, 2006 $8,360,000 x 2/23 Double-declining balance depreciation for 2006 $ 726,957 *$8,000,000 25 = $320,000 x 2 years = $640,000 Remaining life is 23 years.

Brief Exercise 11-9 If a material error is discovered in an accounting period subsequent to the period in which the error is made, previous years financial statements that were incorrect as a result of the error are retrospectively restated to reflect the correction. Any account balances that are incorrect as a result of the error are corrected by journal entry. If retained earnings is one of the incorrect accounts, the correction is reported as a prior period adjustment to the beginning balance in the statement of shareholders equity. In addition, a disclosure note is needed to describe the nature of the error and the impact of its correction on net income, income before extraordinary item, and earnings per share. In this case, depreciation of $32,000 should have been $320,000 ($8,000,000 25 years). Therefore, 2004 income before tax is overstated by $288,000 ($320,000 32,000) and accumulated depreciation is understated by the same amount. The following journal entry is needed to record the error correction (ignoring income tax): Retained earnings... 288,000 Accumulated depreciation... 288,000 Depreciation for 2006 would be $320,000.

Future benefits are not increased; therefore the expenditure should be expensed in the period incurred. Remodeling of offices, $22,000 - This is an example of an improvement. The cost of the remodeling should be capitalized and depreciated, either by (1) substitution, (2) direct capitalization of the cost, or (3) a reduction of accumulated depreciation.

Exercise 11-16 Requirement 1 In general, we report voluntary changes in accounting principles retrospectively. However, a change in depreciation method is considered a change in accounting estimate resulting from a change in accounting principle. In other words, a change in the depreciation method reflects a change in the (a) estimated future benefits from the asset, (b) the pattern of receiving those benefits, or (c) the company s knowledge about those benefits, and therefore the two events should be reported the same way. Accordingly, Clinton reports the change prospectively; previous financial statements are not revised. Instead, the company simply employs the straight-line method from now on. The undepreciated cost remaining at the time of the change would be depreciated straight-line over the remaining useful life. A disclosure note should justify that the change is preferable and describe the effect of the change on any financial statement line items and per share amounts affected for all periods reported.

Exercise 11-24 1. d. Because 50% of the original estimate of quality ore was recovered during the years 1997 through 2004, recorded depletion of $250,000 [50% x ($600,000 - $100,000 salvage value)]. In 2005, the earlier depletion of $250,000 is deducted from the $600,000 cost along with the $100,000 salvage value. The remaining depletable cost of $250,000 will be allocated over the 250,000 tons believed to remain in the mine. The $1 per ton depletion is then multiplied times the tons mined each year.. 2. a. The cost should be amortized over the remaining legal life or useful life, whichever is shorter. In addition to the initial costs of obtaining a patent, legal fees incurred in the successful defense of a patent should be capitalized as part of the cost, whether it was internally developed or purchased from an inventor. The legal fees capitalized then should be amortized over the remaining useful life of the patent. 3. a. Given that the company paid $6,000,000 for net assets acquired with a fair value of $5,496,000, goodwill was $504,000. Under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, purchased goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment. 11-38 Intermediate Accounting, 4/e

Problem 11-7 (concluded) Requirement 3 Depletion of natural resources and depreciation of assets used in the extraction of natural resources are part of product cost and are included in the cost of the inventory of the mineral, just as the depreciation on manufacturing equipment is included in inventory cost. The depletion and depreciation are then included in cost of goods sold in the income statement when the mineral is sold. In 2006, since all of the ore was sold, all of 2006 s depletion and depreciation is included in cost of goods sold. In 2007, since not all of the extracted ore was sold, a portion of both 2007 s depletion and depreciation remains in inventory. Solutions Manual, Vol.1, Chapter 11 11-51
