Let’s Analyze
Chik Company is acquiring the net assets of Team Company for an agreed-upon price
of ₱900,000 on July 1, 2017. The value was tentatively assigned as follows:
Current assets ₱100,000
Land 50,000
Equipment (5-year life) 200,000
Building (20-year life) 500,000
Current liabilities (150,000)
Goodwill 200,000
Values were subject to change during the measurement period. The measurement
period expired on July 1, 2018, at which time the fair values of the equipment and
building as of the acquisition date were revised to ₱180,000 and ₱550,000,
respectively.
How much total depreciation expense should be recorded in 2017 and 2018?
Analysis:

Provisional value ₱200,000 ₱500,000
Useful life (in months) 60 240
No. of months depreciated 6 6

Provisional value ₱180,000 ₱550,000
Useful life (in months) 60 240
No. of months depreciated 12 12
Depreciation expense ₱36,000 ₱27,500
In 2018, the total depreciation expense amounting to 63,500 is based on the revalued
amount of equipment and building.
Note: Take note that changes in provisional value of depreciable assets should be
adjusted retrospectively. Hence, accumulated depreciation from 2017 to 2018 should be
based on the revalued amount and not on the provisional value identified at the date of
acquisition. Adjustments should also be made on depreciation expense and closed
directly to retained earnings if it includes a prior year transaction.
