Section 1 Plant Assets


Plant assets include land, land improvements, buildings,
and equipment (machinery, furniture, tools).
Major characteristics include:
Used in operations and not for resale.
Long-term in nature and usually depreciated.

Possess physical substance.


Referred to as property, plant, and equipment; plant and
equipment; and fixed assets.

Determining the Cost of Plant Assets


Land
Includes all costs to acquire land and ready it for use.
Costs typically include:
(1) the purchase price;

(2) closing costs, such as title and attorneys fees;


(3) real estate brokers commissions;
(4) costs of grading, filling, draining, and clearing;
(5) assumption of any liens, mortgages, or encumbrances

SO 1 Describe how the cost principle applies to plant assets.

Acquiring Plant Assets


Assets are required to be recorded at their
Historical Cost (e.g., not appraisal value)
Cost includes all necessary costs
to get the assets ready for their
intended purpose
Their intended purpose is to help
generate future revenues.
The expected future revenues
must exceed the cost of the asset.

Depreciation
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of
tangible assets to expense in a systematic and rational
manner to those periods expected to benefit from the
use of the asset.
Process of cost allocation, not asset valuation.
Applies to land improvements, buildings, and
equipment, not land.

of asset will decline over the assets useful life.

SO 4 Describe the procedure for revising periodic depreciation.

Depreciation
Illustration: Assume that Barbs Florists decides on
January 1, 2014, to extend the useful life of the truck one
year because of its excellent condition. The company has
used the straight-line method to depreciate the asset to
date, and book value is $5,800 ($13,000 - $7,200).
Questions:
1. What is the journal entry to correct
the prior years depreciation?

No Entry

for 2014.

Expenditures During Useful Life


Ordinary Repairs - expenditures to maintain the
operating efficiency and productive life of the unit.
Debit - Repair (or Maintenance) Expense.

Referred to as revenue expenditures.

Additions and Improvements - costs incurred to


increase the operating efficiency, productive capacity, or
useful life of a plant asset.
Debit - the plant asset affected.
Referred to as capital expenditures.
Slide
9-64

SO 5 Distinguish between revenue and capital expenditures,


and explain the entries for each.

Fraud Alert

A Revenue Expenditure reduces profit thru


an expense account (e.g., repair expense) in
the current year.

A Capital Expenditure reduces profit at a


(thru depreciation expense over time) much
slower rate

Sale of Plant Assets

occurs.
If proceeds are less than the book value, a loss on
disposal occurs.

originally cost $60,000. As of January 1, 2011, it had
accumulated depreciation of $41,000. Depreciation for the
first six months of 2011 is $8,000. Prepare the journal entry

as follows:
$5,000,000 10,000,000 = $.50 depletion cost per ton

Buying a Wreck of Your Own

There are approximately 250 million vehicles in operation in the


U.S. Around the world, there were 806 million cars and light
trucks on the road in 2007. Currently, these vehicles burn over
260 billion gallons of fuel yearly.
In the U.S., the 2008 car and light-truck market dropped
dramatically, to approximately 13.2 million units, down by about
2.9 million from 2007.
The cost of an average new car is about $22,000. The price of the
average used car is now about $13,900.
Slide
9-94

Financial institutions typically require a down payment of at least


10% of the value of a vehicle on a vehicle loan. Thus, the average
new car will require a much higher down payment. However,
interest rates on used-car loans are higher than on new-car loans.
To stimulate car sales, individuals can generally deduct fees and
taxes on the purchase price of a qualified new car, light truck,
motor home, or motorcycle.
A new car typically loses at least 30% of its value during the first
two years, and about 40 to 50% after three years. Some brands
maintain their value better than others.
To keep monthly car payments down, car companies will now
provide financing for up to six years. (It used to be two or three
years.) With such a long loan, you might end up upside down on
the loanthat is, you might actually owe more money than the
car is worth if you decide to sell the car before the end of the
loan.
Slide
9-95

There are many costs to


consider in deciding
whether to buy a new or
used car. These costs
include the down
payment, monthly loan
payments, insurance,
maintenance and repair
costs, and state
(department of motor
vehicle) fees. The graph
below compares the total
costs over five years for
the typical new versus
used car.
Slide
9-96

Should you buy a new car?


YES: I have enough stress in my life. I dont want to
worry about my car breaking downand if it does break
down, I want it to be covered by a warranty. Besides, I
have an image to maintainI dont want to be seen in
anything less than the latest styling and the latest
technology.
NO: Im a college student, and I need to keep my costs
down. Also, used cars are a lot more dependable than they
used to be. In addition, my self image is strong enough that
I dont need a fancy new car to feel good about myself
(despite what the car advertisements say).

On January 1, 20x1, Maynard's computer repair purchased for $50,000 a delivery truck that will be
driven an estimated 120,000 miles. The truck has an estimated useful life of five years and an
estimated residual value of $6,000. To the best of your ability, prepare a depreciation schedule.
