 In-class Worked Example
PHB Ltd purchase a drilling rig for raw materials on 1/1/15. Cost of drill is
$5,125,000. Installation costs are:
Site access costs $1,998,000
Transportation of drill 472,500
Set-up 364,000
Licence/consent 773,600
Engineer fees 326,400
Total $3,934,500

Dismantling costs $ 243,650 (in 5 years time)

Site clean-up 2,204,715
Transport costs 289,000
Replacement-flora 388,700
Total $3,126,065
Costs to be over life of the mine. Discount rate is 7.5%.

 Solution
Step 1:
Calculate the PV of the restoration costs.
1/(1.075)^5= 0.696558632
0.696558632 x $3,126,065 = $2,177,488

 Allocation of Costs
Q: How are costs allocated when a “package”
asset is purchased?
A: A valuer experienced in such matters
would apply a % rate totalling 100% across
the assets purchased.
Example: Purchase Price of $8,500,000
E.g. Land 48% = $4,080,000
Buildings 27% = $2,295,000
Stock 10% = $ 850,000
Equipment 15% = $1,275,000
TOTAL 100% = $8,500,000

Journal entry would be:

Buildings 2,295,000
Stock 850,000
Equipment 1,275,000
Bank 8,500,000
To record acquisition of Assets

Note: Land and buildings recognised separately due to differing

accounting treatment (land-appreciate, buildings-depreciate, etc.)

 Deferred Payments on Acquisition
It is common for an entity to acquire assets
and have a payment plan in place to pay for the
asset over a period of time.
AASB 123 “the cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment is the cash-price equivalent at the
recognition date. If payment is deferred beyond normal
credit terms, the difference between the cash-price
equivalent and the total payment is recognised as
interest over the period of credit unless such interest is
recognised in the carrying amount of the asset in
accordance with the allowed alternative treatment”

9
 Deferred payments on acquisition (cont.)
Cost of an item must be determined by
discounting the amounts payable in the future to
their present value at the date of acquisition.
Refer to worked example 4.6 (page 166)
Equation used is:

1-(1+i)yx +/- p
i
i = interest rate, p = periods

 RSC Ltd.
RSC Ltd acquired a drilling rig , paying $320,000
on date of inception (1/7/15) and are required to
make an additional 6 annual payments of
$400,000, first annual payment due 30/6/16
Interest rate on borrowings is 9%.

We are required to calculate the amount payable

and then journalise for inception date and then
for next two years.

11
 RSC Ltd. (cont.)
Part A: Calculating the amount payable

1) Initial payment (no change) $ 320,000

2) 1-(1.09)yx +/- 6/0.09 = 4.48591859
4.48591859 x $400,000 = $1,794,367
Total $2,114,367
Using your Scientific Calculator (1-(1/(1+k)^n))/k
We now know the value and can now
journalise.

 Deferred Payments on Acquisition (cont.)
You will note that the interest payments
reduced from 2016 to 2017.
This is because the interest is calculated
against the OPENING BALANCE each year, not
the HISTORICAL BALANCE.
The reducing interest component means that
the payment on principal of the loan increases.

 In-class Worked Example
RIO Ltd acquired five trucks for their mine in
Western Australia, paying $1,800,000 on date of
inception (1/7/15) and are required to make an
additional 7 annual payments of $2,000,000, first
annual payment due 30/6/16.
Interest rate on borrowings is 8.5%.
Required:
Calculate the amount payable and then
journalise for inception date and then for the
next two years.

 Solution
Step 1: Calculate the amount payable
