17 Property Plant and Equipment PART 1 PDF
DEFINITION
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:
a. Are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others,
or for administrative purposes; and
b. Are expected to be used during more than one period.
RECOGNITION
Items of property, plant, and equipment should be recognized as assets when it is
probable that:
The future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the enterprise; and
The cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
VALUATION
A. Measurement at Recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition, as an asset
shall be measured at its cost.
Elements of Cost
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
a. Its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes,
after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
b. Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management. Examples of directly attributable costs are: (TIPPED)
✓ Costs of Employee benefits arising directly from the construction or
acquisition of the item of property, plant and equipment
✓ Costs of site Preparation
✓ Initial Delivery and handling costs
✓ Installation and assembly costs
✓ Professional fees
✓ Costs of Testing whether the asset is functioning properly,
Under the amendments, proceeds from selling items before the related item
of PPE is available for use should be recognized in profit or loss, together
with the costs of producing those items.
c. The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs
either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item
during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during
that period.

Financial Accounting and Reporting
Examples of costs that are not costs of an item of property, plant and
equipment and should be expensed:
a. Costs of opening a new facility
b. Costs of introducing a new product or service (including costs of advertising and
promotional activities)
c. Costs of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customer
(including costs of staff training)
d. Administration and other general overhead costs.
Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment
ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by management. Therefore, costs incurred in using or
redeploying an item are not included in the carrying amount of that item.
For example, the following costs are not included in the carrying amount of an item of
property, plant and equipment:
a. Costs incurred while an item capable of operating in the manner intended by
management has yet to be brought into use or is operated at less than full capacity
b. Initial operating losses, such as those incurred while demand for the item’s output
builds up
c. Costs of relocating or reorganizing part or all of an entity’s operations.

D. Other measurement considerations
Acquisition of two or The acquisition cost shall be allocated to acquired
more items of PPE items based on their relative fair market values.
Self-Constructed asset Includes the cost of materials, direct labor and
overhead specifically attributable to the construction.
Savings from the construction, meaning lower total
cost compared if the assets was purchased are not
included in the cost and shall not be recognized as
income.
Exchange transactions Measured at book value of the asset given.

6. Ricardo Company and Leonardo Company are fuel oil distributors. To facilitate the
delivery of oil to customers, Ricardo and Leonardo exchanged ownership of 5,000
barrels of oil without physically moving the oil. Ricardo paid Leonardo P2,000,000 to
compensate for a difference in the grade of oil. It was reliably determined that the
exchange lacks commercial substance because the configuration of the cash flows
of the asset received does not differ from the configuration of the cash flows of the
asset transferred. On the date of exchange, cost and fair value of oil were:

DEPRECIATION
Carrying amount The amount at which an asset is recognized after deducting any
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost The amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of
the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its
acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount
attributed to that asset when initially recognized in accordance
with the specific requirements of other IFRS.
Depreciable The cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its
amount residual value.
Depreciation The systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset
over its useful life.
Residual value The estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from
disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of
disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition
expected at the end of its useful life.
Useful life (a) The period over which an asset is expected to be available
for use by an entity; or
(b) The number of production or similar units expected to be
obtained from the asset by an entity.
Depreciation
➢ Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
➢ The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss unless it
is included in the carrying amount of another asset for example depreciation on
factory equipment which shall be included as overhead and cost of inventories.
15 | P a g e
Financial Accounting and Reporting
c. Technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in
production, or from a change in the market demand for the product or service
output of the asset.
d. Legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of related
leases.
Depreciation Method
➢ The depreciation method used shall reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future
economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity.
➢ The depreciation method applied to an asset shall be reviewed at least at each
financial year-end and, if there has been a significant change in the expected pattern
of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the method
shall be changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such a change shall be accounted
for as a change in an accounting estimate
➢ A variety of depreciation methods can be used to allocate the depreciable amount of
an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life. These methods include the
straight-line method, the diminishing balance method and the units of production
method.
KEY OBSERVATIONS
➢ SL provides uniform depreciation, SYD and Double-declining provides accelerated
and declining depreciation while production provides variable amount of
depreciation.
➢ SL, SYD and Production method uses depreciable amount from beginning to end.
Double declining ignores the residual value in the initial year and depreciates the
book value after that, but still adheres to the depreciation of the depreciable amount
only.
➢ Depreciation for SYD and Double-Declining for a portion of a year is computed by
multiplying the amount of depreciation by the number of month’s outstanding divided
by 12.

1. Grants for the purpose of specific expenses – This should be deferred and
recognized as income in the same period as the relevant expense.
2. Grants related to depreciable assets are usually recognized as income over the
periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on those assets is charged.
Either by deducting the grant from the cost of the asset or as deferred income.
3. Grants related to non-depreciable assets may also require the fulfillment of
certain obligations and would then be recognized as income over the periods which
bear the cost of meeting the obligations. As an example, a grant of land may be
conditional upon the erection of a building on the site and it may be appropriate to
recognize it as income over the life of the building.
4. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or
losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to
the entity with no future related costs shall be recognized as income of the period in
which it becomes receivable.

Repayment of Government Grant
a. If a grant becomes repayable, it should be treated as a change in estimate.
b. If the grant is recorded as a deferred income, the repayment should be applied first
against any related unamortized deferred income (the balance of the deferred
income), and the difference shall be recognized as expense.
c. Where the original grant related to an asset, the repayment should be treated as
increasing the carrying amount of the asset or reducing the deferred income
balance.
d. The cumulative depreciation which would have been charged had the grant not been
received should be charged as depreciation expense.
