Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid and the fair value of
other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of acquisition or
construction.
Note: Generally, the fair value of the consideration is the equivalent cash
price of the asset.
Question: Assuming aside from the note, the entity also paid P50,000. What
is the cost of the equipment?
Since the P5,000,000 loan is specifically for the construction of the building, the
annual interest incurred of P600,000 less any interest income from the loan is
capitalized as the cost of the building.
2.2.6 General borrowings
According to PAS 23, paragraph 14, where funds are part of a general pool,
the eligible amount is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the
expenditure on that asset.
The capitalization rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs
applicable to the general pool.
Since the 2 loans are for general purposes of the company and not just for the
construction of the building, a portion only of the annual interest is capitalized as
the cost of the building. In this case, only P1,449,000 based on the pro-rata amount
of P10,500,000 average expenditure.
2.3 Depreciation
All property, plant, and equipment are depreciated with the exception of
land.
The land is the only PPE that generally appreciates its value over the years.
Depreciation is the process of allocating depreciable amount of an amount
over useful life.
The objective of depreciation is to have each period benefiting from the use
of the asset bear an equitable share of the asset cost.
Notes: The composite rate is not rounded-off using MS Excel. But, if the problem is
silent in your next assessments, use 4 decimal places for the composite rate.
2.4 Summary
1. Property, plant, and equipment are tangible assets that are held for
use in production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or
for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more
than one period.
2. Property, plant, and equipment initially measured at cost and
subsequently measured at either cost model or revaluation model.
3. Under the Cost model, Property, plant, and equipment are reported
at carrying amount. Cost less related accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment is equaled to the carrying amount.
4. Under the Revaluation model, Property, plant, and equipment are
reported at revalued carrying amount. The revalued carrying
amount is the fair value at the date of revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
loss.
5. Generally, the depreciation method used to depreciate Property,
plant, and equipment is the straight-line method, composite
method, variable output, sum-of-the-years’ digit, and double-
declining method.
