05/02/2023 IAS 16 4
SCOPE IAS 17 Leases determines recognition of leased assets
on transfer of risk and rewards; IAS 16 deals with accounting treatment of such assets
IAS 40 investment property dealt with by IAS 16 until development is complete and IAS 40 thereafter
IAS 16 excludes: Assets classified as held for sale (IFRS 5) Biological assets in agricultural activity (IAS 41) Exploration and evaluation assets (IFRS 6) Mineral rights and reserves such as oil, natural gas and non-
regenerative resources Includes property, plant and equipment used to maintain the
above assets
05/02/2023 IAS 16 5
Definitions Carrying amount: amount in balance sheet net of accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss Cost:
amount paid or fair value of consideration to acquire asset at time of acquisition or construction
Amount attributed to asset when recognised according to IFRSs Depreciable amount: cost less residual value Residual value: estimated amount from current disposal net of costs of disposal when asset is
at end of useful life Useful life: period available for use by the entity or number of units expected to be obtained
from it by the entity Depreciation: systematic allocation of depreciable amount over useful life of asset Entity-specific value: present value of cash flows expected from continuing use and disposal Fair value: amount asset can be exchanged for between knowledegable, willing parties in an
arm’s length transaction Impairment loss: excess of carrying amount – recoverable amount Recoverable amount: higher of net selling price and value in use Property, plant and equipment are tangible items:
○ Held for use in production or supply, rental or administration○ Expected to be used for more than one reporting period

Recognition
Recognition• At cost• If asset creates
probable future economic benefit
• Cost can be measured reliably
Initial costs• At cost when
incurred• Review for
impairment per IAS 36
Subsequent costs• Excludes day to
day servicing costs (repairs and maintenance, labour, consumables, small parts)
• Includes replacement of major parts
05/02/2023 IAS 16 8
Recognition Spare parts & servicing equipment:
Carry as inventory To P&L as consumed PP&E if major or stand-by equipment used in more than one period PP&E if used as part of item of PP&E
Safety equipment: Do not directly contribute economic benefit Enable related assets to contribute excess benefit Qualify for recognition as PP&E
Replacement of major components: At regular intervals or one off Derecognise old components Also major inspection required to operate assets If not identified at recognition, use estimate for derecognition

05/02/2023 IAS 16 11
Elements of cost Directly attributable costs: to bring the asset to the location and
condition necessary for operation in the manner intended by management
Costs of testing: Assess whether asset is functioning properly Deduct net proceeds of any items produced and sold during testing
Dismantling, removing and restoring: Obligation when asset acquired or used IAS 2 inventories applied when cost incurred to produce inventories Measure using IAS 37 Provisions
Self constructed assets: Use same principles as for acquired assets Eliminate internal profits Exclude wasted material & internal labour Use IAS 23 Borrowing Costs to allocate interest to carrying amount of asset
05/02/2023 IAS 16 12
Items not part of cost Recognition ceases when:
Item in location and condition ready for operationItem is capable of operating but not brought into useOperating at less than full capacityWaiting for demand/output to build upRelocating or reorganising entity operations
Incidental operations:Occur before or during construction & developmentExample: building site used as car parkIncome and expenses recognised as profit and loss
05/02/2023 IAS 16 13
Measurement of cost Cash price at recognition date Total payment less cash price equivalent = interest over
period of credit or part of carrying value under IAS 23 allowed alternative treatment
Fair value of asset received, unless Transaction lacks commercial substance
○ Risk, timing and amount of assets don’t vary○ No effect on entity’s operations (post-tax cash flows)○ Effect significant relative to value of assets exchanged
Fair value cannot be measured reliably Recognise acquired asset even if asset given up cannot be
derecognised If fair value not available, use carrying value of asset given
up as cost

MODEL
Revaluation model Cost model
After recognition, carry item at fair value when fair value can be measured reliably at the date of revaluation less subsequent accumulated
depreciation less subsequent accumulated
impairment losses Revalue regularly so that carrying
amount is not materially different from fair value at balance sheet date Volatile changes = annual revaluation Insignificant changes in value = every
3 to 5 years
After recognition, carry asset at:○ cost○ less accumulated
depreciation ○ Less accumulated
impairment losses
05/02/2023 IAS 16 17
FAIR VALUE: MV using market based evidence
Land and Buildings•Market valuation by qualified valuer
Plant & Equipment•Market value by appraisal
Specialised Property, Plant & Equipment•Estimate using income or depreciated replacement cost approach
05/02/2023 IAS 16 18
Revaluation adjustment
Carrying Amount Accumulated Depreciation
Increase Credit increase to revaluation
surplus directly in equity Credit portion that reverses a
previous decrease in value of the same asset to profit and loss
Decrease First clear any credit balance
in valuation surplus in equity Then debit profit and loss
Restate Restate cost and
accumulated depreciation in proportion so that carrying value = revalued amount
Eliminate Against cost Restate net cost to
revalued amount
05/02/2023 IAS 16 19
Transfers from revaluation reserve to retained earnings Transfer revaluation reserve directly to retained
earnings when asset scrapped or disposed of As asset is written off via depreciation charge,
use option to transfer depreciation based on revalued amount less depreciation based on cost to retained earnings or leave surplus to transfer when asset finally derecognised
Transfer is made in statement of changes in equity, and not through profit and loss
The effect of taxes on income treated according to IAS 12
05/02/2023 IAS 16 20
DEPRECIATION
Significant parts Recognition
Each part with significant cost is depreciated separately In relation to total cost of an
item Allocate cost to significant
parts Group parts with similar
useful life and depreciation method together
Represent consumption pattern of the asset
Annual charge to profit & loss or to carrying amount of another asset When asset is used to
produce other assets
05/02/2023 IAS 16 21
Depreciable amount Allocate depreciation on a systematic basis over
the useful life of the asset Review residual value and useful life at the end of
each period Treat changes as change in accounting estimate
(IAS 8) Recognise depreciation of fair value > carrying
amount Depreciation charge zero if residual amount >
carrying amount Residual value often immaterial in practice
05/02/2023 IAS 16 22
Depreciation period Begins when asset available for use
Location and condition necessary to operate Ceases when asset is classified as held
for sale, derecognised or fully depreciatedNot when asset becomes idle or retired from
active use Depreciation charge can be zero whilst
there is no production
05/02/2023 IAS 16 23
Useful life of asset Factors to consider:
Technical or commercial obsolescence Wear and tear Expected usage in the entity Repair and maintenance programme Planned replacement Improvements in production methods Changes in market demand Land has unlimited useful life
○ Except portion of cost for dismantlement, removal and restoration Buildings have a limited useful life Limits on use of the asset
○ Legal○ Expiry dates○ Lease periods
05/02/2023 IAS 16 24
Depreciation method Reflect the pattern in which the asset is used
Straight line method (depreciable amount/useful life) – constant charge
Diminishing balance method (carrying amount/useful life) – decreasing charge
Units of production method – charge based on expected output
Review at each financial year end Change in depreciation method treated as change
in accounting estimate (IAS 8) Apply the method consistently from period to period
05/02/2023 IAS 16 25
Impairment Apply IAS 36 Impairment of Assets Include compensation for impairment or
loss in profit & loss when it becomes receivableImpairment – IAS 36Derecognition – IAS 16Replacements – IAS 16 (cost)
05/02/2023 IAS 16 26
Derecognition Derecognise On disposal When no future economic benefit is expected from use Include gain or los in profit or loss
Net disposal proceeds less carrying amount Proceeds at fair value Cash price equivalent of deferred revenue; IAS 18 interest revenue
Do not classify gains as revenue Date of disposal – IAS 18 Disposal by sale and leaseback – IAS 17 Use cost of replaced part as estimate to derecognise part of
the asset replaced if not separately recognised and depreciated
05/02/2023 IAS 16 27
