E N D
Types of Long-Term Assets • Property, plant, and equipment • Long-term assets acquired for use in operations • Natural resources • Long-term assets with a value that decreases through use or sale
Types of Long-Term Assets • Intangible assets • Long-term assets that do not have physical substance
Plant Asset Cost Purchase price (less cash discount)
Plant Asset Cost Purchase price (less cash discount) plus all other reasonable and necessary expenditures
Plant Asset Cost Purchase price (less cash discount) plus all other reasonable and necessary expenditures to prepare the asset for use
Examples of Items Included • Purchase price less any cash discount • Shipping costs • Installation costs • Cost of modifications • Interest cost during construction
Depreciation • Allocation of the cost of an asset to the periods the asset benefits • Not a valuation process
Factors in Estimating Depreciation • Initial cost • Estimated residual value • Estimated Useful Life
Depreciation Methods • Straight-line • allocate an equal amount to each period • Production unit • depreciation based on volume of output
Accelerated Depreciation Methods • Double Declining-balance • apply a uniform rate to a declining amount (book value) • Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits • annual amount the decreases by a constant amount
Example Data • Depreciable Asset - Truck • Invoice price $20,000 • Cash discount 2% • Modifications $3,400 • Estimated residual value $2,000 • Useful life - 4 years or 200,000 miles • Acquisition date - January 8, 19X1
Cost of Truck • Invoice price $20,000 • Less: Cash discount 400 • subtotal $19,600 • Modification 3,400 • Cost $23,000
Straight-Line Method Cost - Est. Residual Value Depreciation Expense = Est. Useful Life
Straight-Line Method Expense Accum 19X1: ($23,000 - $2,000) / 4 $5,250 $5,250 19X2: ($23,000 - $2,000) / 4 $5,250 $10,500 19X3: ($23,000 - $2,000) / 4 $5,250 $15,750 19X4: ($23,000 - $2,000) / 4 $5,250 $21,000
Production Units Method Depreciation Expense per Unit Cost - Est. Residual Value = Est. Useful Life in Units Depreciation Expense per Unit Units Produced Depreciation Expense X =
Production Units Method Exp Accum ($23,000 - $2,000) / 200,000 = $0.105 per mile 19X1: 50,000 miles X $0.105 $5,250 $5,250 19X2: 40,000 miles x $0.105 $4,200 $9,450 19X3: 60,000 miles x $0.105 $6,300 $15,750 19X4: 10,000 miles x $0.105 $1,050 $16,800 19X5: 20,000 miles x $0.105 $2,100 $18,900 19X6: 20,000 miles x $0.105 $2,100 $21,000
Double-Declining Balance • Calculate a straight-line rate • 1 divided by estimated useful life • Multiply straight-line rate by 2 • Multiply previous asset book value by doubled rate
Double-Declining Balance Exp Accum 19X1: ($23,000 - $0) x (2)(1/4) $11,500 $11,500 19X2: ($23,000 - $11,500) x .5 $5,750 $17,250 19X3: ($23,000 - $17,250) x .5 $2,875 $20,125 19X4: ($23,000 - $20,125) x .5 $1,438 $21,623 overdepreciated

Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits Individual Year (reverse order) (Cost - Est. Residual Value) x Sum of Years’ Digits
Calculating sum of years’ digits Add the numeric digits in useful life Example 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits
Sum-of-the-Years’-Digits Exp Accum 19X1: ($23,000 - $2,000) x 4/10 $8,400 $ 8,400 19X2: ($23,000 - $2,000) x 3/10 $6,300 $14,700 19X3: ($23,000 - $2,000) x 2/10 $4,200 $18,900 19X4: ($23,000 - $2,000) x 1/10 $2,100 $21,000
Pattern of depreciation expense • Straight-line • Amount is constant and equal • Production • Amount varies depending on usage
Pattern of depreciation expense • Double declining • Amount is decreasing by decreasing amounts • Sum-of-the-Year’s-Digits • Amount is decreasing by constant amount

Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System - MACRS • Income tax reporting method • Applies to tangible property placed in service after 1986 • Eight cost recovery classes with rates for each year • Tax deduction equals cost times appropriate rate for each year
Revenue and Capital Expenditures • Revenue expenditure • Benefits only the current accounting period • Capital expenditure • Significant costs that benefit two more accounting periods
Capital Expenditures • Additions • Enhance usefulness by enlarging asset • Debited to asset • Betterments • Increase or improve services • Debited to asset
Capital Expenditures • Extraordinary repairs • Significant expenditures that extend useful life or change residual value • Debited to accumulated depreciation • In all capital expenditures • Depreciate increased book value over remaining useful life
Disposal of Plant Assets • Sale • Retirement • Exchange
Accounting for Disposal • Remove asset cost and related accumulated depreciation from the records • Book value is cost - accum deprec • Determine gain or loss on disposal • Gain • Received more than book value • Loss • Received less than book value
Sales or Retirements • Always recognize any gain or loss
Exchanges • Always recognize loss • Recognize gain only if exchange of dissimilar assets • If gain on exchange of similar assets • Reduce cost of new asset by gain
Natural Resources • Mineral deposits, oil reserves, timber tracts • Consumption has a cost • Recognize depletion by production method
Intangible Assets • Long-term rights that have future value • Patents, R&D, Goodwill • Consumption has a cost • Recognize amortization by straight-line method
Analyzing Information • Are methods, asset lives, and residual values used reasonable? • If methods, lives, or residual values are changed during year, what is impact on net income? • If some interest cost was capitalized, what is total interest cost for period? • How would this change ratio “Times Interest Earned”?
Times Interest Earned • Net income + Income Tax Expense + Total Interest Cost • divided by • Total Interest Cost
