Concept Introduction:
The fixed assets are of two types, one is tangible and other is intangible. The tangible assets are those which can be touched i.e. having a physical presence. An asset which is used in the business for more than one year and is subject to depreciation is the fixed assets.The other one is intangible assets which are those which cannot be touched i.e. no physical presence. The
The expenditure which increases the value of assets economically or its life is added to the cost of the asset i.e. capitalized and the expenditure which does not increase the value or life is debited to the income statement as an expense for the period.

- Depreciation of a plant asset is the process of ________. A. asset valuation for statement of financial position purposes B. allocation of the assets cost to the periods of use C. fund accumulation for the replacement of the asset D. asset valuation based on current replacement cost dataarrow_forwardAccording to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, which, if any, of the following statements about depreciation are correct? The main purpose of depreciation is to reflect the fall in value of an asset over its useful life When an asset is revalued, subsequent depreciation relating to the amount of the revaluation should be debited to the revaluation surplus rather than to the income statement The provision for depreciation ensures that there are funds available to replace an asset when this becomes necessary, though in times of inflation, additional amounts may need to be set aside A change in depreciation method constitutes a change in accounting policy and must be accounted for as sucharrow_forwardAccording to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, which, if any, of the following statements about depreciation are correct?

- Which statements are correct concerning measurement of cost of property, plant and equipment?I. The purchase price of an item of property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the date of recognitionII. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the cash price equivalent and total payment is recognized as interest expense over the life of the asset.III. If an item of property, plant and equipment is acquired in exchange for a nonmonetary asset or a combination of monetary and nonmonetary asset, the cost of such item is measured at fair value unless the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or fair value of either asset received or given up is not reliably determinable.IV. If an entity is able to determine reliably the fair value of both the asset given up and asset received in an exchange, the fair value of the asset given up is used to measure the cost of asset received in exchange.arrow_forwardAssets classified as property, plant, and equipment are reported at a. each asset’s estimated market value at the balance sheet date. b. each asset’s estimated salvage value at the balance sheet date. c. the estimated depreciable cost at the balance sheet date. d. each asset’s original cost less depreciation since acquisition.arrow_forwardProperty, Plant and Equipment We review long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as appropriate.

- Which of the following best describes depreciation? A.ccounts for the market value of a physical asset B.Part of the cost of a physical asset allocated as an expense to each time period in which the asset is used. C.Shows the increase in value of a physical asset over the asset’s useful life D.Shows the drop in value of an asset when the asset is first used by an entityarrow_forwardWhich of the following amortization methods is most likely to evenly distribute the cost ofan intangible asset over its useful life?A. Straight-line methodB. Units-of-production methodC. Double-declining balance methodarrow_forwardTrue or False _____ PAS 16 defines depreciation as "the decrease in the value of an asset." ______ According to PAS 16, items of PPE are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured using either the cost model or the fair value model. _______ an entity acquires an asset for P120k. The asset is estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value P20K. tHE STRAIGHT LINE DEPRECIATION RATE BASED ON DEPRECIABE AMOUNT IS 10% _______ An entity acquires an asset for P1M. A P200k residual value is estimated for the asset. Ar the end of the asset's useful life, the accumulated depreciation wil be equal to P1M. _______ A machine acquired on the 20th of Julyv(and ready for its intended use as at this date) would most likely be depreciated starting on the 1st of August. _______ A change in the depreciation method, useful life or residual value of a PPE is accounted for retrospectively.arrow_forward
- Depreciation expense under the invenroty system is a. Based on cost minus residual value b. Basically a FIFO approach to depreciable asset accounting c. The result of applying a depreciation rate to the original cost d. A measure of the change in the value of the depreciable assetarrow_forwardThe value of "Property, Plant, & Equipment, net" reported on the balance sheet represents: A) The allocated cost of using the asset for the year. B) The fair market value of the assets. C) The historical cost of the assets D) The cost of the assets not yet expensed on the income statement. The gain or loss from selling an asset reported on the income statement is computed as: A) The difference in the cash received and the historical cost of the assets B) The difference in the fair market value of the asset and the historical cost of the asset. C) The difference in the amount of cash received for the asset less the cost to sell the D) The difference in the book value o f the asset and the cash received for the assetarrow_forwardThe IAS 36 Impairment of Assets test for an individual asset required that the carrying amount of the asset be compared with its recoverable amount. According to IAS 36, recoverable amount is described as the higher of two items. 1) Future cash flows from the asset and fair value of asset. 2) Present value of future cash flows from the asset and fair value of the asset. 3) Future cash inflows from the asset and fair value of the asset less costs of disposal. 4) Present value of future cash inflows from the asset and fair value of the asset less costs of disposal.arrow_forward
