Definition:
Tangible assets held for more than 12 months for use in a business
·
Recognition:
*
Probable future economic benefits will flow to
the entity
*
Cost of the asset can be measured reliably ·
Initial
recognition: at cost, which includes –
* All
capital costs involved to bring the asset in working conditions
* E.g.
site preparation cost, installation & delivery cost, borrowing cost,
dismantling cost
Subsequent
expenditure:* Can only be capitalized if total economic
benefits increase above those expected on original recognition*
Otherwise, it should be recognized in SOPL
(i.e. I/S) as it only maintains the economic benefit originally expected
Depreciation:
* Systematic
allocation of an asset’s cost over its useful life
*
It should be charged from the date the asset
is available for use
*
Straight line method = (Cost – residual
value)/ useful life
*
Reducing balance method = (Net book value X
certain %)
Measurement:
* Cost Model = (Cost – Accumulated
Depreciation) – Impairment loss
* Revaluation model:
* Revaluation at start of year: *
NBV at year end = (Revalued amount –
Depreciation based on revalued amount over its remaining life) *
Revaluation increase/decrease = Revalued
amount – Opening NBV
* Revaluation
at end of year: *
NBV at year end = Revalued amount *
Revaluation increase/decrease = Revalued
amount – Closing NBV
Journal
of revaluation:
Non-current Asset (New value – Cost) DR Accumulated Depreciation (up to date) DR Revaluation reserve (OCI) CR
* Excess
depreciation on revaluation gain transferred to R/E: Revaluation reserve DR Retained earnings CR
* Revision of useful lives: Depreciation
= NBV at date of change/ Revised life
* Addition
of NCA during the year: Depreciation
= (NBV + Addition)/ Remaining life
* Revision
of residual value: * Depreciation
=(NBV up to revision - New residual value)/ Remaining life
