Intangible Assets
Slide 9-3
IFRS
allows revaluation of plant assets to fair value
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.
Revaluation of Plant Assets
Slide
Illustration: Pernice Company applies revaluation to plant assets with a carrying value of $1,000,000, a useful life of 5 years, and no residual value. Pernice makes the following journal entries in year 1, assuming straight-line depreciation.
Depreciation expense 200,000
Accumulated depreciation 200,000
Revaluation of Plant Assets
SO 4 Describe the procedure for revising periodic depreciation.
Slide 9-5
Illustration: At the end of year 1, independent appraisers
determine that the asset has a fair value of $850,000. To report the plant assets at fair value, Pernice makes the following entry.
Accumulated depreciation 200,000
Plant assets 150,000
Revaluation of Plant Assets
SO 4 Describe the procedure for revising periodic depreciation.
Revaluation surplus is an example of an item reported as other comprehensive income, as discussed in Chapter 5.
Slide
Pernice now reports the following information in its statement of financial position at the end of year 1.
Revaluation of Plant Assets
SO 4 Describe the procedure for revising periodic depreciation.
$850,000 is the new basis of the asset. Pernice reports depreciation expense of $200,000 in the income statement and $50,000 in other comprehensive income. Depreciation in year 2 will be $212,500 ($850,000 / 4).
Slide 9-7
Ordinary Repairs
- expenditures to maintain the operating efficiency and productive life of the unit.Debit - Repair (or Maintenance) Expense.
Referred to as revenue expenditures.
Expenditures During Useful Life
SO 5 Distinguish between revenue and capital expenditures, and explain the entries for each.
Additions and Improvements
- costs incurred to increasethe operating efficiency, productive capacity, or useful life of a plant asset.
Debit - the plant asset affected.
Slide
Companies dispose of plant assets in three ways
—
Retirement, Sale, or Exchange (appendix).
Plant Asset Disposals
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Illustration 9-19
Record depreciation up to the date of disposal.
Slide 9-9
Illustration: Assume that Hobart Enterprises retires
its computer printers, which cost $32,000. The accumulated depreciation on these printers is $32,000. The journal entry to record this retirement is:
Plant Asset Disposals - Retirement
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Accumulated depreciation 32,000
Printing equipment 32,000
Question: What happens if a fully depreciated plant asset is still useful to the company?
Slide
Illustration: Assume that Sunset Company discards delivery equipment that cost $18,000 and has accumulated
depreciation of $14,000. The journal entry is:
Plant Asset Disposals - Retirement
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Accumulated depreciation 14,000
Loss on disposal 4,000
Companies report a loss on disposal in the “Other income and expense” section of the income statement.
Slide 9-11
Sale of Plant Assets
Compare the book value of the asset with the proceeds
received from the sale.
If proceeds exceed the book value, a gain on disposal occurs.
If proceeds are less than the book value, a loss on disposal occurs.
Plant Asset Disposals
Slide
Illustration: Assume that on July 1, 2011, Wright Company sells office furniture for $16,000 cash. The office furniture originally
cost $60,000. As of January 1, 2011, it had accumulated
depreciation of $41,000. Depreciation for the first six months of 2011 is $8,000. Prepare the journal entry to record depreciation expense up to the date of sale.
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Plant Asset Disposals - Sale
Depreciation expense 8,000
Accumulated depreciation 8,000
Slide 9-13
Illustration: Wright records the sale as follows.
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Plant Asset Disposals - Sale
Cash 16,000
Accumulated depreciation 49,000
Illustration 9-20
Computation of gain on disposal
Office equipment 60,000
Slide
Illustration: Assume that instead of selling the office furniture for $16,000, Wright sells it for $9,000.
SO 6 Explain how to account for the disposal of a plant asset.
Plant Asset Disposals - Sale
Loss on Disposal
Cash 9,000
Accumulated depreciation 49,000
Office equipment 60,000
Loss on disposal 5,000 July 1

Slide 9-15
Natural resources
consist of standing timber and
resources extracted from the ground, such as oil, gas,
and minerals.
Standing timber is considered a biological asset under
IFRS.
In the years before they are harvested, the recorded
value of biological assets is adjusted to fair value each
period.
Section 2
–
Natural Resources
Slide
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.
IFRS
defines extractive industries as those businesses
involved in finding and removing natural resources located in
or near the earth’s crust.
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 resource’s useful life.

Natural Resources
Slide 9-17
Illustration: Assume that Lane Coal Company invests $5
million in a mine estimated to have 10 million tons of coal and no salvage value. In the first year, Lane extracts and sells 800,000 tons of coal. Lane computes the depletion expense as follows:
Section 2
–
Natural Resources
$5,000,000 ÷ 10,000,000 = $.50 depletion cost per ton
$.50 x 800,000 = $400,000 depletion expense
Depletion expense 400,000
Accumulated depletion 400,000

Statement presentation of accumulated depletion
Extracted resources that have not been sold are reported as inventory in the current assets section.
Slide 9-19
Intangible assets
are rights, privileges, and competitive
advantages that do not possess physical substance.
Section 3
–
Intangible Assets
Patents
Copyrights
Franchises or licenses
Intangible assets are categorized as having either a
limited life or an indefinite life.
Common types of intangibles:
SO 8 Explain the basic issues related to accounting for intangible assets.
Trademarks and trade names
Goodwill
Slide
Patents
Exclusive right to manufacture, sell, or otherwise control an invention for a specified number of years from the date of the grant.
Legal life in many countries is 20 years.
Capitalize costs of purchasing a patent and amortize over its legal life or its useful life, whichever is shorter.
Legal fees incurred successfully defending a patent are capitalized to Patent account.
Types of Intangible Assets
Slide 9-21
Intangible assets are typically amortized on a straight-line
basis.
Illustration: Assume that National Labs purchases a patent at a cost of $60,000. National estimates the useful life of the
patent to be eight years. National records the annual amortization as follows.
Accounting for Intangible Assets
SO 8 Explain the basic issues related to accounting for intangible assets.
Amortization expense 7,500
Slide
Copyrights
Give the owner the exclusive right to reproduce and sell an artistic or published work.
plays, literary works, musical works, pictures,
photographs, and video and audiovisual material.
Granted for the life of the creator plus a specified number of years, which can vary by country but is commonly 70 years.
Capitalize costs of acquiring and defending it.
Amortized to expense over useful life.

Slide 9-23
Trademarks and Trade Names
Word, phrase, jingle, or symbol that identifies a particular enterprise or product.
Wheaties, Game Boy, Frappuccino, Kleenex, Windows, Coca-Cola, and Jetta.

Slide
Franchises and Licenses
Contractual arrangement between a franchisor and a franchisee.
BP (GBR), Taco Bell (USA), or Rent-A-Wreck (USA) are franchises.
Franchise (or license) with a limited life should be amortized to expense over the life of the franchise.
Franchise with an indefinite life should be carried at cost and not amortized.
Accounting for Intangible Assets
Slide 9-25
Goodwill
Includes exceptional management, desirable location, good customer relations, skilled employees, high-quality products, etc.
Only recorded when an entire business is purchased.
Goodwill is recorded as the excess of ...
purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Internally created goodwill should not be capitalized.
