Big Picture

Week 13 - 14: Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO): At the end of the unit, you are expected to

a. Understand the internal control objectives of property, plant and equipment. b. Substantiate the balances of the property, plant and equipment.

Audit of Property, Plant and Equipment

Big Picture in Focus:

ULO A: Understand the internal control objectives of property, plant and equipment

ULO B: Substantiate the balances of the property, plant and equipment.

Metalanguage Metalanguage is the essential term relevant to the topic. This is the operational definition to establish a common frame of reference on how to use the term.

Essential Knowledge Essential knowledge is a detailed discussion of the topic or concept.

Audit Objectives in the Examination of Property, Plant, & Equipment

  1. Property, plant and equipment recorded in the accounts exist and are owned or leased under capital lease by the company.
  2. All additions to and disposals of property, plant and equipment have been properly authorized and accurately recorded.
  3. No material items were charged to expense that should have been capitalized.
  4. The cost or other basis of initially recording property, plant and equipment is appropriate.
  5. Appropriate methods of depreciation have been properly applied on a basis consistent with the previous year, to all items of property, plant and equipment that should be depreciated.

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

  1. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment is appropriate in periods subsequent to acquisition, considering such factors as utilization, geographical location, laws and regulations, and technological changes.
  2. Property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral are identified and disclosed, along with other necessary disclosures.

Internal Controls over Property, Plant and Equipment

  1. A subsidiary ledger consisting of a separate record for each unit of property. An adequate ledger of property, plant and equipment facilitates the auditor’s work in analyzing additions and retirements, in verifying the depreciation provision and maintenance expenses, and in comparing authorizations with actual expenditures.

  2. A system of authorizations requiring advance executive approval of all plant and equipment acquisitions, whether by purchase, lease, or construction.

  3. An authoritative written statement of company policy distinguishing between capital and revenue expenditures. A minimum peso amount ordinarily will be established for capitalization; an expenditures of lesser amount an automatically are classified as charges against current revenue.

  4. A policy requiring all purchases of property, plant and equipment to be handled through the purchasing department and subjected to standard routines for receiving, inspection and payment.

  5. Periodic physical inventories, designed to verify the existence, location, and condition of all property listed in the accounts and to disclose the existence of any unrecorded units.

  6. A system of retirement procedures, including serially numbered retirement work order, stating reasons for retirement and bearing appropriate approvals. Audit Working Papers for PPE

  7. Summary Analysis for Property, Plant & Equipment

The key audit working paper for PPE is a summary analysis. This working paper follows the approach of emphasizing changes during the year under audit. The working paper shows the beginning balances for the various types of plant assets. Next, the working paper shows the additions and disposals during the year. These are the transactions upon which the auditor’s attention will be focused. A final column shows the ending balances that must equal the beginning balances plus the additions and minus the disposals.

  1. Summary Analysis for Accumulated Depreciation (similar to the one described above)
  2. Analyses of the Year’s Additions and Retirements
  3. Analyses of Repairs and Maintenance Expense
  4. Tests of Depreciation

Accounting Standards for PPE (PAS 16)

Acquisition of Fixed Assets, through:

Cash Basis – All outlays required to purchase the asset and place it in service, including cost of installation and making it ready for use, should be capitalized. The capitalizable costs include the invoice price (less discounts), plus other costs incidental in acquiring the property such as insurance during transit, freight, duties, ownership searching, ownership registration, installation, and break-in costs. All available discounts, whether taken or not, should be deducted from the invoice cost. Discounts not taken should be recorded as discounts lost and reported as other expense.

Credit or Installment – The cost of the asset purchased on credit is either:

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

a. Its cash equivalent price, or b. The Present Value of the future cash payments required by the debt security or agreement discounted at the current rate of interest.

This specifies that a fixed asset acquired on credit should be recorded at its cash equivalent price, excluding all interest and financing charges on the debt. Interest and other finance charges should be debited to Interest Expense when incurred, and not treated as part of the asset cost.

Issuance of Capital stock (PFRS 2) – The cost of assets acquired through issuance of capital stock or bonds payable shall be recorded as follows, in order of priority: a. Fair market value of the property received. OR b. Fair market value of the capital stock.

Issuance of Company’s Own Debt Security (PAS 16) – The cost of assets acquired shall be recorded as follows: a. Fair market value of the debt security issued. OR b. Fair market value of the property received.

Exchange of Assets (non-monetary exchange) – With Commercial Substance: (Gain or loss on exchange is fully recognized) a. Fair value of Asset Given + CASH if payor ( - CASH if recipient) OR b. Fair value of Asset Received (ignore CASH)

Without Commercial Substance: (Gain or loss on exchange is not recognized) a. Cost or book value of the Property Given

If there is cash involved in the transaction, add cash to the asset if the company is the payor and deduct if the company is the recipient.

Trade in (monetary exchange) – The new asset is recorded at the following in order of priority: 1. Fair value of asset given plus cash payment 2. Trade in value of asset given plus cash payment (in effect this is the fair value of the asset received)

Donation from shareholders (PFRS 2)

Contributions, including stock of an enterprise, received from shareholders should be recorded at Fair Value of the items received, with the credit to share premium - donated capital if significant. Direct expenses incurred in connection with the donation should be charged to the donated capital account.

Donation from other than shareholders (PAS 20)

Government Grants (subsidies, subventions, or premiums) – defines “as assistance by government in the form of transfer or resources to an enterprise in return for part or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the enterprise”.

This will be recognized at Fair Value when there is reasonable assurance that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. The company will debit Cash or Assets and credit Deferred income – government grants. The deferred income – government grants will be recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related cost which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

EXCEPTION: If the grant becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support for the enterprise with NO further related cost be recognized as income of the period in which it becomes receivable.

Basket Purchase – Acquisition cost is allocated to the various assets based on the relative fair values of the assets.

Case in Point 1 At December 31, 2015, certain accounts included in the property, plant, and equipment section of the Lord Edmar Company’s statement of financial position had the following balances: Land 3,000, Building 24,000, Leasehold improvements 3, Machinery and equipment 1,400,

During 2016, the following transactions occurred:

Land site number 0531 was acquired for P2,000,000. Additionally, to acquire the land Lord Edmar Company paid a P60,000 commission to a real estate agent. Costs of P15,000 were incurred to clear the land for the intended use but not to make room for the construction of a new building. During the course of clearing the land, timber and gravel were recovered and sold for P5,000.

A second tract of land (site number 0532) with a building was acquired from another entity in exchange for 100, Lord Edmar ordinary shares. On the acquisition date, the shares had a closing market price of P45 on a stock exchange. Current appraised values for the land and building, respectively, are P1,200,000 and P2,400,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was demolished at a cost of P30,000 to make a room for the construction of new building. New building was constructed for P10,500,000 plus the following costs:

Excavation fees 110, Architectural design fees 380, Building permit fee 10, Imputed interest on funds used during construction 60,

The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2016.

A third tract of land (site number 0533) was acquired for P6,000,000 and was classified as held for sale.

Extensive work was done to a building occupied by Lord Edmar under a lease agreement that expires on December 31, 2023. The total cost of the work was P1,250,000, which consisted of the following: Painting of ceilings P100,000 estimated useful life is one year Electrical work 350,000 estimated useful life of ten years Construction of extension to current working area 800,000 estimated useful life is 30 years

The lessor paid one-half of the costs incurred in connection with the extension to the current working area.

During December 2016, costs of P650,000 were incurred to improve leased office space. The related lease will terminate on December 31, 2018, and is not expected to be renewed.

The amount of borrowing costs depends on whether funds were borrowed specifically for the project in question or whether a pool of borrowed funds was deployed for a variety of projects, some of which may be subject to the interest capitalization rule.

Basis in Determining the Amount of Capilatized Borrowing Costs

“To the extend that funds are borrowed specifically... the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization... should be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred... during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.” PAS 23, par. 15)

“To the extend that funds are borrowed generally... the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization should be determined by applying a capitalization rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate should be weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowing made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset... The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during a period should not exceed that amount of borrowing costs incurred during that period. (PAS 23, par. 17)

PROCEDURES IN DETERMINING THE CAPITALIZATION AMOUNT

The following steps are pertinent to the calculation of the amount of capitalized interest:

  1. Determine actual interest cost for the construction period.

  2. Compute average accumulated expenditures. This is the weighted average of accumulated expenditures during the construction period.

  3. Compute the interest potentially capitalizable. This is determined by applying the appropriate interest rate to the average accumulated expenditures amount. Two methods are allowed: a. Specific Method. Apply the interest rate of specific constructions debt to the average accumulated expenditures. If the average accumulated expenditures exceed the principal amount of the specific debt, the weighted average interest rate on all other interest-bearing debt is applied to the excess. b. Weighted-Average Method. The weighted rate on all interest-bearing debt is applied to the average accumulated expenditures.

  4. Capitalize the lesser of actual interest cost and interest potentially capitalizable.

Case in Point 2 ELVIE Company decided to construct its own warehouse. For 2009, expenditures for the building totaled P500,000. Assume that P100,000 was paid on January 2, 2009, and the remaining amount of P400,000 was paid evenly throughout the year. A 10% note directly related to the project (specific borrowing) was issued on January 2, 2009, with face value of P200,000. Debt not directly related (general borrowing) included a P500,000 long-term note at 12%, and another note of P200,000 at 8%, both were issued in 2002.

Required: Determine the amount of capitalized interest in 2009 using the (1) specific method, and (2) the weighted- average method.

Solution: 1. The Specific Method a. Step 1. Compute actual interest cost: 10% Note: P200,000 x 10% P 20,

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

12% Note: P500,000 x 12% 60, 8%Note: P200,000 x 8% 17, Actual interest cost P 97, b. Step 2. Compute average accumulated expenditures (AAE) P100,000 x 1/1 P100, P400,000 x Ω 200, AAE P300, c. Step 3. Compute interest potentially capitalizable: On specific borrowing: P200,000 x 10% P 20, On general borrowing: (P100,000 x 11%)** 11, Interest Potentially Capitalizable P 31, d. Step 4. Determine capitalizes interest: Interest Potentially Capitalizable P 31, Actual interest cost 97, Capitalized interest – the lesser P 31, ** Average Accumulated Expenditures financed by general debt = Average Accumulated Expenditures – Specific borrowing = P300,000 – P200,000 = P100,

Weighted-average interest rate of general ledger = Interest expense of general debts/Principal of general debt = (P500,000 x 12% + P200,000 x 8%) / (P500,000 + P200,000) = P77,000 / P P700,000 = 11%

  1. The weighted-average method a. Step 1 and 2: Same as the specific method. b. Step 3: Compute interest potentially capitalized (IPC): IPC = P300,000 x (P97,000 / P900,000)***P 32, c. Step 4: Determine capitalized interest: Interest Potentially Capitalizable P 32, Actual interest cost 97, Capitalized interest – the lesser 32,

*** P97,000 and P900,000 are the total interest expense and total debt, respectively, as indicated in Step 1.

REVALUATION AND IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

Basis for Revaluation

The revalued amount of PPE is based on the following:

  • Fair Value – this is the amount at which an asset could be exchange between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value is market value determined by appraisal by professionally qualified valuers.

  • Depreciated replacement cost – If no evidence of market value, they are valued at their depreciated replacement cost or sound value.

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

Two Approach in Recording Revaluation

  • Proportional Approach – The accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying value of the after revaluation equals the revalued amount. This is the preferred approached.

PPE (Appreciation) xxx Accum. Depreciation (Appreciation) xxx Revaluation surplus (sound value – book value) xxx

  • Elimination Approach – The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Accumulated depreciation (cost) xxx Machinery xxx

Machinery (revalued amount) xxx Revaluation surplus xxx

Note: Revaluation surplus will be transferred to the retained earnings when the surplus is realized (e., retirement or disposal of assets). If the asset is depreciable, part of the surplus is being realized as the asset is used.

Other Issues

  • When an item of property, plant, and equipment is revalued, the entire class of property, plant, and equipment to which that asset belongs should be revalued.

  • Frequency: When the fair value of a revaluated asset differs materially from its carrying amount. If there is no significant and volatile movement in the fair value of the assets, every 3 to 5 years may be sufficient.

  • If the revaluation reveals a change in life of the property, the revalued property should de depreciation over the remaining revised life of the property.

  • If the revaluation changes the residual value of the property, the historical (book) residual value is ignored and the residual value of the revalued property will be used for purposes of determining the depreciable amount of the cost and the replacement cost.

Revaluation Adjustment

Reversal of a revaluation increase

When an asset’s carrying amount is increase due to revaluation and subsequently decreased as a result of re- evaluation, the decrease should be recognized as an expense.

However, a revaluation decrease should be charged directly against any revaluation surplus to the extent that the decrease is a reversal of a previous revaluation and the balance should be charged to expense.

Reversal of a revaluation decrease

3F Facundo Hall, Business and Engineering Building Matina Campus, Davao City Phone No.: (082) 305-0645 Local 137

Any reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset shall be treated as a revaluation increase, meaning, credited to income to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrease, and any excess credited directly to revaluation surplus.

Sale of Revalued Asset

When a revalued asset is sold, all accounts relating thereto should be closed in order to determine properly the gain or loss on the sale. The difference between the sales price and the net carrying value is recognized as gain or loss on the sale.

Impairment of Assets (under Historical Cost Asset)

Impairment is a fall in the market value of an asset so that is “recoverable amount” is now less than its carrying value in the balance sheet.

3 Accounting issues to consider in Impairment of Assets

  1. Indication of possible impairment
  2. Measurement of the recoverable amount
  3. Recognition of impairment loss

Indication of Impairment

External sources - market value declines - negative changes in technology, markets, economy, or laws - increases in market interest rates - company stock price is below book value

Internal sources - obsolescence or physical damage - asset is part of a restructuring or held for disposal - worse economic performance than expected

Measurement of the Recoverable Amount

Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less cost to sell (sometimes called net selling price) and its value in use.

Value in use – the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from: - the continuing use of an assets, and from - its disposal at the end of its useful life

Recognition of Impairment Loss

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss has occurred.

Problem 2 Dela Cruz Company purchased land and building, demolished the existing building, and immediately constructed a new building. All of this occurred in the first eight months of 2018. In evaluating the company’s Building account at year-end, you find the following amounts make up the P954,800 balance:

Jan. 5 Purchase price of land and building P175, 15 Demolition cost of old building, net of P10,000 salvage 54, Sept. 1 Cost of new building 630, 1 Insurance on new building 12, 5 Display fixture in new building 62, Dec. 31 Interest expense on new building 21, P954,

Upon further analysis, you discover the following explanation for these amounts:

P175,000 – The land was appraised at P150,000 and the existing building, P50,000. A combined purchase price of P175,000 was negotiated because the seller was anxious to sell the property as soon as possible.

P 54,000 – The company negotiated a price of P64,000 for demolition of the old building, with the contractor retaining all salvage materials. The latter were estimated to be worth P10,000.

P630,000 – This represents the contract price for the new building, which was placed into service on September 1. No interest was paid directly or indirectly related to this building prior to September 1.

P 12,000 – Insurance was taken out on the building and its contents at P12,000 for twelve-month period.

P 62,800 – Display fixtures, which are separate from the building itself, were installed.

P 21,000 – A loan was taken out when the building was placed into service cover the P630,000 contract price. Interest was calculated at P630,000 at the effective 10% interest rate for four months, or P21,000.

Questions:

  1. The correct balance of Land at year-end is: a. P 239,000 b. P 229,000 c. P 195,250 d. P 185,

Problem 5 Vanessa Company, whose accounting year ends on December 31, provides delivery services for packages to be taken between the city and the airport.

On January 1, 2017, the company acquired a delivery van from Glenn Trucks. The company paid cash of P3,060, to Glenn, which included registration fees of P60,000. Insurance costs for the first year amounted to P72,000. The truck is expected to have a useful life of five years. At the end of its useful life, the asset is expected to be sold for P1,440,000, which costs relating to the sale amounting to P24,000.

On January 1, 2018, Vanessa’s management decided to add another vehicle, a flat-top, to the fleet. This vehicle was acquired from a liquidation auction at a cash price of P1,800,000. The vehicle needed some repairs for the elimination of rust (cost P138,000) and the replacement of all tires (cost P37,200). The company believed it would use the flat-top for another two years and then sell it. Expected selling price was P900,000, with selling costs estimated to be P24,000.

On January 1, 2018, a radio communication system was installed in both vehicles at a cost per vehicle of P18,000. This was not expected to have any material effect on the future selling price of either vehicle.

Insurance costs for 2018 were P72,000 for the first vehicle and P54,000 for the newly acquired vehicle.

On January 1, 2019, the flat-top that had been acquired at auction broke down. The company thought about acquiring a new vehicle to replace this one but, after considering the costs, decided to repair the flat-top instead. The vehicle was given a major overhaul at a cost of P390,000. Although this was a major expense, management believed that the company would keep the vehicle for another two years. The estimated selling price in three years’ time is P720,000, with selling costs estimated at P18,000. Insurance costs for 2019 were the same as for the previous year.

balances that must equal the beginning balances plus the additions and minus the disposals.

3. Analyses of the Year’s Additions and Retirements
4. Analyses of Repairs and Maintenance Expense
5. Tests of Depreciation
