LIVED ASSETSLIVED ASSETS

Property, Plant, and Equipment Intangible Assets Natural Resources

Long-term, or non-current, assets acquired for use in a business rather than for resale. Examples include

Property, Plant, and Equipment--Tangible, long-lived assets acquired for business operations. Depreciation is the process of allocating the costs of these assets over their estimated useful lives.

• Property, Plant, and Equipment• Intangible Assets--Intangible long-lived

assets without physical substance that are used in business. Amortization is the process of allocating the costs of these assets over their estimated useful lives.

Nature of Operating AssetsNature of Operating Assets

• Property, Plant, and Equipment• Intangible Assets• Natural Resources--Assets that are

physically consumed or waste away in the course of business. Depletion is the process of allocating costs of natural resources as they are mined or extracted.

Nature of Operating AssetsNature of Operating Assets

Recording asset acquisition. Allocating the cost of an asset over its useful

life, or depreciation. Accounting for maintenance, repairs, and

improvements made to the asset. Accounting for sale or disposal of the asset.

Cost is measured by• the cash paid in a cash transaction, or • the cash equivalent price paid when noncash

assets are used in payment.

The cash equivalent price is equal to• the fair market value of the asset given up, or • the fair market value of the asset received,

whichever is more clearly determinable.

Basket Purchase--The purchase of two or more assets acquired together at a single price.

Relative Fair Market Value Method--A way of allocating a basket purchase price to the individual assets acquired based on their respective market values.


When two or more assets are acquired at a single price. The prices are allocated on a “relative fair market value method.”

In the example below, on Oct 31 we purchased land and building for a total of $360,000.

In the example below, we purchased land and building for a total of $360,000.

In the example below, we purchased land and building for a total of $360,000.

Unless, of course, the intent of purchasing the building was to demolish it and build a new one.


In which case, the whole cost, plus the demolition cost, is the cost of the land.

Depreciation--A systematic write-off each period of the original cost assigned to the asset.

Useful Life--The length of time a company expects to use an asset.

Salvage or Residual Value--What the asset will be worth at the end of its useful life (net of disposal costs). C

Accumulated Depreciation--The total depreciation recorded on an asset since its acquisition. It is a contra-asset account that is offset against the cost of the asset on the balance sheet.

Book Value--Equal to the original cost of the asset less accumulated depreciation.

The original cost. The estimated useful life. The salvage or residual value.

Calculating Depreciation Expense

In order to calculate depreciation In order to calculate depreciation expense, the following information is expense, the following information is needed:needed:

Allocate the expenses (cost) of the asset –

– to the periods it contributes to revenue

Depreciation Expense

$24,000$24,000

The depreciation method in which the cost of an asset is allocated equally over each period of the asset’s estimated useful life.

The asset is assumed to benefit all periods equally.

Straight-Line--Recognizes equal periodic depreciation charges of the asset’s useful life. The formula for Straight-Line is:

Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value Expense Useful Life (years)

Straight-Line--Recognizes equal periodic depreciation charges of the asset’s useful life. The formula for Straight-Line is:

The following information will be used to provide an example of calculating depreciation:◦ Acquisition Cost $24,000◦ Estimated Residual Value $ 2,000◦ Estimated Useful Life 4 years◦ This is the second year the asset has been in use.


Depreciation = $24,000 - $2,000 Expense 4

Depreciation = $5,500 per year Expense


Depreciation Expense..................... 5,500 Accumulated Depreciation........ 5,500

Depreciation ExpenseDepreciation Expense

If the asset was not purchased at the beginning or end of the year, then depreciation should only be recorded for the months the asset was in use.

To simplify the process, some companies take a full year depreciation in the year of purchase, but take no depreciation expense in the year the asset is sold.

The following information will be used to provide an example of calculating depreciation:◦ Acquisition Cost $24,000◦ Estimated Residual Value $ 2,000◦ Estimated Useful Life 4 years◦ This is the first year the asset has been in use


= $24,000 - $2,000 = $5,500 4

Depreciation = $5,500 x .5 = $2,750 Expense 1st yr


Depreciation Expense..................... 2,750 Accumulated Depreciation........ 2,750

To record depreciation expense for the asset.

The journal entry to record depreciation for 2005 would be:

Depreciation for tax purposes must be computed in accordance with federal income tax law.

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).

Due to MACRS depreciation calculations, the depreciation expense for federal income tax will differ from the depreciation computed for financial reporting purposes.

Ordinary Expenditures--Expenditures for repairs, maintenance, and minor improvements which benefit the period in which they are made.

Capital Expenditure--Expenditures that lengthen an asset’s useful life, increases its capacity, or changes its use.

1 The amount must be significant.2 It should benefit the company for several

periods.3 It should increase the productive life or

capacity of the asset.

In order to classify as a capital expenditure, three criteria should be met:

Tool Time paid $3,000 during the year to maintain the company truck. What entry needs to be made?

Tool Time paid $3,000 during the year to maintain the company truck. What entry needs to be made?

Lease classification can have a major impact on the financial statements.

◦A lease is classified an operating lease if the criteria for a capital lease are not met.

◦A lease is classified as a capital lease if it is non-cancelable and meets any one of the following four criteria.

1 The lease transfers ownership of the leased asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.

2 The lease contains an option allowing the lessee to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term at a bargain price.

3 The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the asset.

4 The present value of the lease payments at the beginning of the lease is 90 percent or more of the fair market value of the leased asset.
