Characteristics of Property, Plant, and Equipment
To be included in the property, plant, and
equipment category, an asset must have three
characteristics:
1.
The asset must be held for use and not for
investment.
2.
The asset must have an expected life of more
than one year.
3.
The asset must be tangible in nature.

Acquisition Cost
General Rule
The historical cost of acquiring an asset
includes the costs necessarily incurred to
bring it to the condition and location
necessary for its intended use.

Lump-Sum Purchases
1. Under the proportional method, the value of each asset is
based on the proportion of it’s market value to the total
market value of the group of assets being purchased.
2. The incremental method is used when market values are not
available for all of the assets.
Acquisition of Property,
Plant, and Equipment
Proportional Method
A company pays $120,000 for land and a building.
The land and building are appraised at $50,000 and

Capitalized Closure
and Removal Costs
When plant assets are used that require substantial costs
of dismantling, removal, and site reclamation at the end of
the asset’s useful life . . .
The present value of these costs should be
capitalized and the associated liability should be
recognized when the following criteria are met:
Capitalized Closure
and Removal Costs
1. The cost can be estimated.
2. The liability is the result of the future requirement to close
or remove the asset, and cannot be satisfied until the
operation of the asset ceases.
3. The liability cannot be avoided if the asset is used as
intended.
Asset Acquisition
• With cash
• On credit
• In exchange for equity securities of the acquiring
company
• Through donation from another entity
• Through construction
• In exchange for
nonmonetary assets
Purchase on Credit
The asset acquired is recorded at the
Cash equivalent price (market value)
or
Present value of future cash payments using the
prevailing market interest rate
Whichever is more objective and reliable. (APB Opinion No.
21)
Purchase on Credit
Example
On May 1, X6, Fesler, Inc. purchased equipment paying
$3,000 down and issuing a note payable. The note
requires four annual payments of $2,500 with the first
payment due on May 1, X7. The note is noninterestbearing. The prevailing market rate of interest on notes of
this nature is 12%.
Prepare the required journal entries on May 1, X6 and
December 31, X6 (year-end).

Purchased With Equity Securities
• Asset acquired is recorded at the market value of the
asset or the market value of the securities, whichever is
more objective and reliable.
• If the securities are actively traded, market value can be
easily determined.
• If no objective and reliable value can be determined,
board of directors assigns a reasonable value.
Donated Assets
• Municipalities may donate land and buildings to
induce a company to locate in the area.
• SFAS No. 116 defines a contribution as
“an unconditional transfer of cash or other
assets to
an entity or a settlement or cancellation of its
liabilities in a voluntary nonreciprocal transfer. . .”
Donated Assets
• SFAS NO.116:
Donated assets are capitalized at market
value and revenue from donated assets
is recognized.

• Contributed services that enhance nonfinancial assets
are recognized as expenses and revenues on receipt.
• Contribution of collectibles, like works of art for public
display, are disclosed, but not recognized in the
accounts.
Self-Constructed Assets
The cost of materials, labor,
and overhead used in the
self-construction of
property, plant, and
equipment intended for a
firm’s production process
are added to the cost of the
asset.
Self-Constructed Assets
• The asset’s recorded cost must never exceed its fair
market value.
• If costs actually incurred exceed fair market value, a loss
must be recognized.

Assume that Kelvin Corporation complete a
project with total construction costs as
follows:

Interest Capitalization - Qualifying Assets
•
They must require a period of time to
make them ready for use.
•
There are two types of qualifying
assets:
1. Assets under construction for use in
operations, and
2. Discrete assets intended for sale or lease.
Interest Capitalization
Interest cannot be capitalized for the following types of assets:
1. Inventories that are routinely manufactured or otherwise
produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis.
2. Assets that are in use or ready for their intended use.
3. Assets that are not being used in the earning activities of the
company and are not undergoing the activities necessary to
get them ready for use.
Interest Capitalization
• Capitalization begins when . . .
Qualifying expenditures have been made, and
Construction activities are underway, and
Interest cost has been incurred.
• Capitalization ends when . . .
The asset is substantially complete and ready
for
its intended use.
Interest Capitalization
– Avoidable interest
interest that could have been avoided if the asset
were not con-structed and the money used to retire
debt.

Interest Capitalization
• Interest Potentially Capitalizable (IPC)
Multiply the AAE by the capitalization rate or rates.
Interest Capitalization
• Capitalization Rate(s)
If the qualifying asset is financed through a
specific new borrowing, the interest rate on
the new borrowing is used for the
computation of IPC.
If the qualifying asset is internally financed,
the capitalization rate will be the weightedaverage cost of debt.
Use both rates, if partially financed with a
new borrowing.

Interest Capitalization
Steps in the capitalization process
1. Compute actual interest expense.
2. Compute AAE.
3. Compute IPC.
4. Capitalize the smaller of actual interest or IPC.
Interest Capitalization
Example
Welling, Inc. is constructing a building for its own use.
Construction activities started on May 1 and have continued
through Dec. 31. Welling made the following qualifying
expenditures: May 1, $125,000; July 31, $160,000, Oct. 1,
$200,000; and Dec. 1, $300,000.
Welling recorded total interest expense of $175,000 during
the year, including construction borrowing of $1,000,000 on
May 1, from Bub’s Bank for 10 years at 12%.

Interest Capitalization
Example
Compute IPC:
Since we have a specific new borrowing, and
the amount of the borrowing ($1,000,000)
exceeds the AAE ($225,000), we use the
interest rate on the specific new borrowing for
the capitalization.
IPC = AAE × Capitalization rate
IPC = $225,000 × 12% = $27,000
Interest Capitalization
Example
Capitalize the smaller of actual interest or IPC.
Actual interest = $175,000
IPC = $27,000
Capitalize $27,000

Disposal of Plant Assets
• Update depreciation to date of disposal.
• Original cost of asset and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts.
• The difference between book value of the asset and the
amount received in the disposal process is recorded as
a gain or loss.
Disposal of Plant Assets
Example
On June 30,2006, MeLo, Inc. sells equipment for
$6,350 cash. The equipment was purchased on
January 1, 19X1 at a cost of $15,000. The asset has a
useful life of 10 years and no salvage value. MeLo last
recorded depreciation on the equipment on December
31, 2005, its year-end.
Prepare the journal entries necessary to record the
disposal of this equipment.

Nonmonetary Asset Exchanges
The general exchange principle is that
the cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired
in exchange for another nonmonetary
asset is the fair value of the asset
surrendered.
Nonmonetary Asset Exchanges
• Cost of asset acquired is
Fair value of asset transferred plus cash paid or
minus cash
received
or
Fair value of asset acquired, if it is more readily
determinable.
Nonmonetary Asset Exchanges
The Company acquiring the asset
recognizes a gain or loss on the
exchange as the difference between the
fair value of the asset surrendered and its
book value.
Nonmonetary Asset Exchanges
•
A nonmonetary exchange is considered to
have commercial substance if the
company
(1) Expects a change in future cash flows as a result
of
the exchange and
(2) That expected change is significant relative to the
fair value of the assets exchanged.
Nonmonetary Asset Exchanges
A company would not recognize a gain
if the transaction lacks “commercial
substance; that is, future cash flows are
not expected change significantly.

product can be increased by- Extending the life of the asset.
 Improving the productivity.
 Producing the same product at lower
cost.
 Increasing the quality of the product.
Post-Acquisition Expenditures
• Maintenance and ordinary repairs.
• Improvements (betterments), replacements,

Depreciation Concepts
• The acquisition cost of an operational asset
represents a bundle of future services that help
earn future revenues.
• The matching principle requires that part of the
acquisition cost be expensed in periods when the
future revenues are earned.

Depreciation Concepts
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization are
cost allocation processes that systematically and

Depreciation Expense
Accumulated Depreciation
• Temporary account,
reported on the income
statement.
• Permanent account,
reported on the balance
sheet as a deduction from
plant assets.
• Balance in Depreciation
Expense indicates how
much depreciation has
been recorded in the
current year.
• Balance in Accumulated
Depreciation is a
cumulative total of all
depreciation recorded on
an asset.
