Self-Constructed Assets When self-constructing an asset, two accounting issues must be addressed: • overhead allocation to the self-constructed asset. • incremental overhead only • full-cost approach • proper treatment of interest incurred during construction Under certain conditions, interest incurred on qualifying assets is capitalized. • Asset constructed is for a company’s own use and is a discrete project for sale or lease. • Capitalize interest that could have been avoided if the asset were not constructed and the money used to retire debt.
Interest Costs During Construction Three approaches have been suggested to account for the interest incurred in financing the construction. Increase to Cost of Asset $ 0 $ ? Capitalize no interest during construction Capitalize all costs of funds Capitalize actual costs incurred during construction GAAP
Interest Costs During Construction • GAAP requires — capitalizing actual interest (with modification). • Consistent with historical cost. • Capitalization considers three items: • Qualifying assets. • Capitalization period. • Amount to capitalize.
Qualifying Assets • Require a substantial period of time to get them ready for their intended use. • Two types of assets: • Assets under construction for a company’s own use. • Assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed or produced as discrete projects.
Capitalization Period Begins when: • Expenditures for the asset have been made. • Activities for readying the asset are in progress . • Interest costs are being incurred. Capitalization Period Ends when: The asset is substantially complete and ready for use.
Amount to Capitalize Capitalize the lesser of: • Actual interest costs • Avoidable interest - the amount of interest that could have been avoided if expenditures for the asset had not been made.
Discussion Questions Q10–10 What interest rates should be used in determining the amount of interest to be capitalized? How should interest revenue from temporarily invested excess funds borrowed to finance the construction of assets be accounted for? The avoidable interest is determined by multiplying (an) interest rate(s) by the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures on qualifying assets. For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures which is less than or equal to any amounts borrowed specifically to finance construction of the assets, the capitalization rate is the specific interest rate incurred. For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures which is greater than specific debt incurred, the interest rate is a weighted average of all other interest rates incurred. The amount of interest to be capitalized is the avoidable interest, or the actual interest incurred, whichever is lower.
Calculating the Actual and Avoidable Interest Selecting Appropriate Interest Rate: • For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures that is less than or equal to any amounts borrowed specifically to finance construction of the assets, use the interest rate incurred on the specific borrowings. • For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures that is greater than any debt incurred specifically to finance construction of the assets, use a weighted average of interest rates incurred on all other outstanding debt during the period.
Calculating the Actual and Avoidable Interest Actual Interest Weighted-average interest rate on general debt $100,000 $800,000 = 12.5% Avoidable Interest
Calculating the Actual and Avoidable Interest Capitalize the lesser of Avoidable interest or Actual interest. Journal entry to Capitalize Interest: Equipment 30,250 Interest expense*30,250 *Not crediting cash because already paid and we are transferring (capitalizing)
Example 3 On January 1, 2011, the Marlee Company began construction of an office building to be used as its corporate headquarters. The building was completed early in 2012. Construction expenditures for 2011, which were incurred evenly throughout the year, totaled $6,000,000. Marlee had the following debt obligations which were outstanding during all of 2011: Construction loan, 10% $1,500,000 Long-term note, 9% 2,000,000 Long-term note, 6% 4,000,000 Calculate the amount of interest capitalized in 2011 for the building using the specific interest method.
Example 3 Average accumulated expenditures: $6,000,000 / 2 = $3,000,000 Weighted-average rate of all other debt: $2,000,000 x 9% = $180,000 4,000,000 x 6% = 240,000 $6,000,000$420,000 $420,000 / $6,000,000 = 7% Interest capitalized: $3,000,000 - 1,500,000 x 10% = $150,000 1,500,000 x 7% =105,000 $255,000 Interest capitalized

Noncash Acquisitions The asset acquired is recorded at the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset acquired, whichever is more clearly evident. • Issuance of equity securities • Deferred payments • Donated Assets • Exchanges
Noncash Acquisitions Issuance of Equity Securities • Asset acquired is recorded at the fair value of the asset or the market value of the securities, whichever is more clearly evident. • If the securities are actively traded, market value can be easily determined. • If the securities given are not actively traded, the fair value of the asset received, as determined by appraisal, may be more clearly evident than the fair value of the securities. Donated Assets • On occasion, companies acquire assets through donation. • The receiving company is required to record • The donated asset at fair value. • Revenue equal to the fair value of the donated asset.
Example 5 On January 1, 2011, Byner Company purchased a used tractor. Byner paid $5,000 down and signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring $25,000 to be paid on December 31, 2013. The fair value of the tractor is not determinable. An interest rate of 10% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. • Prepare the journal entry to record the acquisition of the tractor. • How much interest expense will the company include in its 2011 and 2012 income statements for this note? • What is the amount of the liability the company will report in its 2011 and 2012 balance sheets for this note?

Dispositions Steps: • Update depreciation to date of disposal. • Remove original cost of asset and accumulated depreciation from the books. • Record what you received. • The difference between book value of the asset and the amount received is recorded as a gain or loss.
Exchanges Generally cost of asset acquired is: • fair value of asset given up plus cash paid or minus cash received or • fair value of asset acquired, if it is more clearly evident • In the exchange of operational assets, fair value is used except in rare situations in which the fair value cannotbe determined or the exchange lacks commercial substance. • When fair value cannot be determined or the exchange lacks commercial substance, the asset(s) acquired are valued at the book value of the asset(s) given up, plus (or minus) any cash exchanged. No gain is recognized.
Example 6 Southern Company owns a building that it leases. The building’s fair value is $1,400,000 and its book value is $800,000 (original cost of $2,000,000 less accumulated depreciation of $1,200,000). Southern exchanges this for another building owned by the Eastern Company. The building’s book value on Eastern’s books is $950,000 (original cost of $1,600,000 less accumulated depreciation of $650,000). Eastern also gives Southern $140,000 to complete the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance for both companies. Prepare the journal entries to record the exchange on the books of Southern.

Discussion Questions Q10–16 Stan Ott is evaluating two recent transactions involving exchanges of equipment. In one case, the exchange has commercial substance. In the second situation, the exchange lacks commercial substance. Explain to Stan the differences in accounting for each situation? Ordinarily accounting for the exchange of nonmonetary assets should be based on the fair value of the asset given up or the fair value of the asset received, whichever is more clearly evident. Thus any gains and losses on the exchange should be recognized immediately. If the fair value of either asset is not reasonably determinable, the book value of the asset given up is usually used as the basis for recording the nonmonetary exchange. This approach is always employed when the exchange has commercial substance.
Discussion Questions Q10–16 Stan Ott is evaluating two recent transactions involving exchanges of equipment. In one case, the exchange has commercial substance. In the second situation, the exchange lacks commercial substance. Explain to Stan the differences in accounting for each situation? The general rule is modified when exchanges lack commercial substance. In this case, the enterprise is not considered to have completed the earnings process and therefore a gain should not be recognized. However, a loss should be recognized immediately. In certain situations, gains on an exchange that lacks commercial substance may be recorded when monetary consideration is received. When monetary consideration is received, it is assumed that a portion of the earnings process is completed, and therefore, a partial gain is recognized.
Exchange Lacks Commercial Substance • When exchanges are recorded at fair value, any gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and book value of the asset(s) given-up. To preclude the possibility of companies engaging in exchanges of appreciated assets solely to be able to recognize gains, fair value can only be used in legitimate exchanges that have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange is considered to have commercial substance if the company: • expects a change in future cash flows as a result of the exchange, and • that expected change is significant relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged.
Example 7 The Tinsley Company exchanged land that it had been holding for future plant expansion for a more suitable parcel located farther from residential areas. Tinsley carried the land at its original cost of $30,000. According to an independent appraisal, the land currently is worth $72,000. Tinsley gave $14,000 in cash to complete the transaction. What is the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley? FV of old land + Cash given = FV of new land $72,000 + 14,000 = $86,000
