Learning Objective 10-01
Identify the various costs included in the initial cost of property, plant, and equipment, natural resources, and intangible assets.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

The initial cost of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets acquired in an exchange transaction includes the purchase price

and all expenditures necessary to bring the asset to its desired condition and location for use. The cost of a natural resource includes the
acquisition costs for the use of land, the exploration and development costs incurred before production begins, and restoration costs
incurred during or at the end of extraction. Purchased intangible assets are valued at their original cost to include the purchase price and legal and filing fees.

Mendelson Laboratories purchased engineering equipment at a cost of $420,000. Shipping costs totaled $15,000. Installation cost was $8,000.

An additional electrical line had to be run to the equipment at a cost of $3,000. Labor and testing costs totaled $6,000.
Materials used up in testing cost $3,000.
The capitalized cost is:
 
$455,000

Required information
Learning Objective 10-02 Determine the initial cost of individual property, plant,
and equipment and intangible assets acquired as a group for a lump-sum purchase price.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

If a lump-sum purchase involves different assets, it is necessary to allocate the lump-sum acquisition price among the separate items according to some
logical allocation method. A widely used allocation method is to divide the lump-sum purchase price according to the individual asset’s relative fair values.
 
Spice World Corporation purchased for $180,000 cash the following assets: land with a fair value of $60,000, a building with a fair value of $90,000, equipment with a fair value of $35,000 and inventory with a fair value of $15,000.
 
Prepare the appropriate journal entry for Spice World’s purchase.

 

 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
Step 1: Sum the fair values; $60,000 + $90,000 + $35,000 + $15,000 = $200,000
Step 2: Find the proportionate percentage of fair values for each asset;

 
$60,000 = 30%
$200,000
 
$90,000 = 45%
$200,000
 
$35,000 = 17.5%
$200,000
 
$15,000 = 7.5%
$200,000
 
Step 3: Multiply the purchase price by the proportional share for each asset
 
                   
Land $ 180,000 × 30 % = $ 54,000  
Building $ 180,000 × 45 % = $ 81,000  
Equipment $ 180,000 × 17.5 % = $ 31,500  
Inventory $ 180,000 × 7.5 % = $ 13,500  

 Debit each asset, credit cash for the purchase price
 

 
Required information
Learning Objective 10-06 Determine the initial cost of property, plant,
and equipment and intangible assets acquired in exchange for other nonmonetary assets.
 
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
The basic principle used for nonmonetary exchanges is to value the asset(s) received based on the fair value of the asset(s) given up.

In certain situations, the valuation of the asset(s) received is based on the book value of the asset(s) given up.
 
If a company exchanges an asset with a book value of $260,000, an original cost of $500,000, and a fair value of $300,000 plus cash
of $100,000 for a new asset, what is the gain or loss recognized on the transaction?

$40,000 | Gain
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
         
New asset (FV + cash paid) 400,000      
Accumulated depreciation 240,000      
Old asset     500,000  
Cash     100,000  
Gain     40,000  

 
The new asset is recorded at $400,000, the fair value of the old equipment, $300,000, plus the cash given, $100,000.

The old asset’s account and accumulated depreciation are written off for their balances at the date of the exchange,
and cash paid is recorded. Accumulated depreciation is the asset’s original cost, $500,000, minus book value, $260,000.
The gain of $40,000 is the difference between the old asset’s fair value, $300,000, and its book value, $260,000.
The gain of $40,000 also is the amount needed to allow the debits to equal credits in the journal entry.
 

 
Interest may be capitalized

whether or not there is specific borrowing for the construction
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
Interest may not be capitalized on routinely manufactured goods,

interest is only capitalized starting on the date of the first expenditure for the product.
Even if the company did not borrow specifically for the construction,
the weighted average rate from all other borrowings is used to capitalize interest.
 

 
Required information
Learning Objective 10-08 Explain the difference in the accounting treatment of costs incurred to purchase intangible assets versus the costs incurred to internally develop intangible assets.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Research and development costs incurred to internally develop an intangible asset are expensed in the period incurred. Filing and legal costs for developed intangibles are capitalized.

 
Research and development costs

Generally pertain to activities that occur prior to the start of production.
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
Research and development costs generally pertain to activities that occur prior to the start of production.

Under US GAAP they are expensed as incurred.
 

 
Required information
Learning Objective 11-02 Determine periodic depreciation using both time-based and activity-based methods and account for dispositions.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

The allocation process for plant and equipment is called depreciation.

Time-based depreciation methods estimate service life in years and then allocate depreciable base, cost less estimated residual value,
using either a straight-line or accelerated pattern. Activity-based depreciation methods allocate the depreciable base by estimating
service life according to some measure of productivity. When an item of property, plant, and equipment or an intangible asset is sold,
a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the consideration received and the asset’s book value.
 
On January 1, Year 1, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $52,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year
service life is expected to be $4,000. The company uses the straight-line method. For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 3?
 

 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
1.
Annual depreciation = Depreciable base ÷ Number of years in asset’s life
Annual depreciation = ($52,000 − $4,000) ÷ 4 = $12,000
2.
Accumulated depreciation in Year 3 = $12,000 × 3 years = $36,000
3.
Book value in Year 3 = Cost – Accumulated depreciation in Year 3
Book value in Year 3 = $52,000 – $36,000 (see 2. above) = $16,000

 

 
On January 1, Year 1, Miller Company purchased equipment for $36,000.
Residual value at the end of an estimated six-year service life is expected to be $8,000.
The company uses the double-declining balance method. For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 2?
 

 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
 
1.
Depreciation expense each year = Book value at beginning of year × Depreciation rate*
* Depreciation rate = (1 ÷ Service Life) × 2 = (1 ÷ 6) × 2 = 1/3 or 33.33% (rounded)
Depreciation expense in Year 1 = $36,000 × 33.33% = $12,000
Depreciation expense in Year 2 = ($36,000 − $12,000) × 33.33% = $8,000
2.
Accumulated depreciation in Year 2 = Depreciation in Year 1 + Year 2 (see 1. above) = $20,000
3.
Book value in Year 2 = Cost – Accumulated depreciation in Year 2
Book value in Year 2 = $36,000 – $20,000 (see 2. above) = $16,000

 

 
On January 1, Year 1, Corcoran Company purchased equipment for $36,000.
Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $6,000.
The company uses the sum-of-the-years’ digits method. For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 2?
 

 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
 
1.
Depreciation expense in Year 2 = Depreciable base × (Remaining service life ÷ Sum-of-the-years’-digits)
Year 1 = ($36,000 − $6,000) × (4 ÷ (1 + 2 + 3 + 4)) = $12,000
Year 2 = ($36,000 − $6,000) × (3 ÷ (1 + 2 + 3 + 4)) = $9,000
2.
Accumulated depreciation in Year 2 = Depreciation in Year 1 + Year 2 (see 1. above) = $21,000
3.
Book value in Year 2 = Cost – Accumulated depreciation in Year 2
Book value in Year 2 = $36,000 – $21,000 (see 2. above) = $15,000

 

 
On January 1, Year 1, Andrei’s Design Inc., purchased equipment for $60,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated
four-year service life is expected to be $10,000. The company expects the machine to operate for 20,000 hours.
The machine operated for 3,600 and 4,000 hours in Year 1 and Year 2, respectively. The company uses the units-of-production method.
For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 2?
 

 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
 
1.
Depreciation expense each year = Units of activity × Depreciation rate*
* Depreciation rate = ($60,000 − $10,000) ÷ 20,000 hours = $2.50/hour
Depreciation expense in Year 1 = 3,600 × $2.50 = $9,000
Depreciation expense in Year 2 = 4,000 × $2.50 = $10,000
2.
Accumulated depreciation in Year 2 = Depreciation in Year 1 + Year 2 (see 1. above) = $19,000
3.
Book value in Year 2 = Cost – Accumulated depreciation in Year 2
Book value in Year 2 = $60,000 – $19,000 (see 2. above) = $41,000

 

 
If a company sells one of its trucks for consideration (cash and receivables) that is less than the book value of the truck
(updated through the date of the sale), which of the following is true?

A loss will be recognized by the seller
 

 
Required information
Learning Objective 11-03 Calculate the periodic depletion of a natural resource.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

The allocation process for natural resources is called depletion. The activity-based method called units-of-production usually is employed

to determine periodic depletion.
 
Manson Company incurred costs of $5,720,000 for the acquisition and development of a mineral deposit. The company expects to extract
2,200,000 tons during a four-year period, after which the mineral deposit is expected to have no residual value.
The company extracted 880,000 tons during the current year. What was the depletion expense for the current year?
 
Current year depletion: $2,288,000
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
Depletion per ton = $5,720,000 ÷ 2,200,000 tons = $2.60 per ton
Current year depletion = 880,000 tons × $2.60 per ton = $2,288,000

 

 
Required information
Learning Objective 11-04 Calculate the periodic amortization of an intangible asset.
Skip to question
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

The allocation process for intangible assets is called amortization. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life,

the capitalized cost less any estimated residual value must be allocated to periods in which the asset is expected to
contribute to the company’s revenue-generating activities. An intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite
useful life is not subject to periodic amortization. Goodwill is perhaps the most typical intangible asset with an indefinite useful life.
 
On August 1, Year 1, SuperCool Software (SCS) began developing a software program to allow individuals to customize their investment portfolios.
Technological feasibility was established on January 31st of year 2, and the program was available for release on March 31, year 2. 
Development costs were incurred as follows:
 
       
August 1 through December 31, Year 1 $ 4,000,000  
January 1 through January 31, Year 2   600,000  
February 1 through March 31, Year 2   900,000  

 
SCS expects a useful life of five years for the software and total revenues of $10,000,000 during that time.

During Year 2, SCS recognized $2,000,000 in revenue, included in the $10,000,000 total revenue estimate.
 
Calculate the required amortization for Year 2

(Hint: calculate using both methods, choose the greater number)
 
Amortization for year 2: $180,000
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
(1) Percentage-of-revenue method:
 
$2,000,000 = 20% × $900,000 = $180,000
$10,000,000
 
(2) Straight-line method
$900,000 × 1/5 × 9/12 = $135,000.
 
The percentage-of-revenue method is used since it produces the greater amortization of $180,000.

 

 
On January 1, Year 1, Lowing Company acquired a patent from Generics Research Corporation for $3 million.
The legal life of the patent is 20 years, but Lowing expects to use it for 5 years. Pawson Company has committed to purchase the
patent from Lowing for $500,000 at the end of that 5-year period. Lowing uses the straight-line method to amortize intangible assets
with finite useful lives. What is the amount of amortization expense each year?
 
Amortization Expense: $500,000
 
Explanation
Knowledge Check 01
Amortization expense = ($3,000,000 − $500,000) ÷ 5 years = $500,000
