CHAPTER 8 – REPORTING AND ANALYSING NON-CURRENT ASSETS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1.
Review the chapter for the kinds of questions decision makers require for non-current assets including what non-current assets does the entity need to sustain or expand its future operations and profitability? How much of the entity’s resources should be tied up in non-current assets? Should an entity buy or rent?
2.
For PPE assets, the cost principle states that PPE assets are recorded at cost, which consists of all expenditure necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use.
3.
GST only impacts on ing for the purchase and sale of non-current assets.
4.
The primary advantages of leasing are:
5.
(a)
reduced risk of obsolescence
(b)
nil or low down payment
(c)
shared tax advantages
(d)
reduced recorded assets and liabilities.
The effects of the three methods on annual depreciation expense are: (a)
Straight-line – constant amount
(b)
Diminishing-balance – decreasing amount
(c)
Units-of-production – varying amount.
6.
Capital expenditures are additions and improvements incurred to increase the operating efficiency, productive capacity or the expected useful life of the asset. These expenditures are usually material in amount, incur infrequently and are recorded as debits to the PPE asset affected, whereas expenses are expenditures for the ordinary repairs made to maintain the operating efficiency and expected productive life of the asset. These expenditures usually occur frequently and are recorded as a debit to the Repairs and Maintenance Expense as incurred and are an expense in the income statement.
7.
In a sale of PPE assets, the carrying (book) value of the asset is compared to the proceeds received from the sale. If the proceeds of the sale exceed the carrying value of the PPE asset, a gain on disposal occurs. If the proceeds of the sale are less than the carrying value of the PPE asset sold, a loss on disposal occurs.

Chapter 8: Reporting and analysing non-current assets
8.
Depreciation, amortisation and depletion are all concerned with writing off the cost of an asset to expense over the periods benefited. Depreciation refers to allocating the cost of a PPE asset to expense over its useful life in a rational and systematic manner. Amortisation is the allocating of the cost of an intangible asset to expense. Depletion is the allocating of the capitalised preproduction costs of natural resources to inventory to reflect the units removed. The depleted amounts are recognised as expenses as part of Cost of Sales, when the natural resource inventory is sold.
9.
The favourable attributes which could result in goodwill include exceptional management, desirable location, good customer relations, skilled employees, high quality products, fair pricing policies and harmonious relations with trade unions.
10.
After initial recognition of cost, each class of non-current asset may be measured on the cost or fair value basis. Any revaluations of non-current assets must be carried out by class of asset. For intangibles to be revalued there must be an active market. increases and decreases within the same class must not be offset against one another. Any initial revaluation to a value above the up-to-date carrying amount is referred to as a revaluation increase and is credited directly to equity to an entitled Revaluation Surplus. Any initial revaluation to a value below the up-to-date carrying amount is a revaluation decrease. A revaluation decrease is treated as an expense in the income statement. If in a subsequent period the initial revaluations reverse, the revaluation increase (decrease) for an asset it should be offset against the previous revaluation decrease (increase) of that asset, to the extent of the amount of the previous revaluations. For reversals against the Revaluation Surplus there must be balances available for that asset in the reserve. The steps to record the revaluation are: (a)
Record the depreciation (if it is a depreciable asset) to date of revaluation
(b)
Transfer the balance of the contra , Accumulated Depreciation, to the asset to give the assets carrying value
(c)
Record the revaluation.
11.
Agricultural assets are living animals and plants (biological assets) that are a result of agricultural activity. Agricultural assets include forests, livestock, crops, fruit bearing trees and produce of aquaculturalists. Once the assets are mature and no longer ‘living’ – the tree is felled, the crops harvested, sheep shorn or animals are slaughtered – the assets fall within the scope of IAS 102 Inventories and are measured according to that standard.
12.
By selecting a higher estimated useful life, Jonty Ltd is spreading the PPE asset’s cost over a longer period of time. The depreciation expense reported in each period is lower and profit is higher. Amber Ltd’s choice of a shorter estimated useful life will result in higher depreciation expense reported in each period and lower profit. Therefore, Jonty Ltd may appear to be a better performer.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES BRIEF EXERCISE 8.1 Knight Ltd The GST exclusive amount of all of the expenditure except for fencing should be included in the cost of the land. Therefore the cost of the land is: (a) $214,600* (b) $195,091 (214,600/1.1)** (c) $186,609 (214,600/1.15)** * $180,000 + $10,000 + $9,500 + $8,100 + $7,000. ** To calculate the GST exclusive amount divide the GST inclusive amount by (1+GST rate). BRIEF EXERCISE 8.2 Brianna Ltd Purchase: GST Exclusive amount is $96,600 Depreciable amount is $92,600 ($96,600 - $4,000). With a 5 year useful life, annual depreciation is $18,520 ($92,600 ÷ 5). Under the straight-line method, depreciation is the same each year. Thus, depreciation is $18,520 for both the first and second years.

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES EXERCISE 8.1 Sunny Ltd (a)
The following points explain the application of the cost principle in determining the acquisition of PPE assets. 1. Under the cost principle, the acquisition cost for a PPE asset includes all expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. 2. For example, the cost of factory machinery includes the purchase price, freight costs paid by the purchaser, insurance costs during transit, and installation costs. 3. Cost consists of the fair value of all expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. 4. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Chapter 8: Reporting and analysing non-current assets
EXERCISE 8.10 (a)
A company should depreciate its buildings because depreciation is necessary in order to allocate the cost of the buildings to the reporting periods in which the future benefits are consumed. Without depreciation, the depreciable assets would be overstated and not be a faithful representation of their future benefits.
(b)
A building can have a nil carrying value if it had no estimated residual value and it was fully depreciated – that is, if it has been used for a period longer than its expected life. Because depreciation is used to allocate cost rather than to reflect market value, it is not at all unlikely that a building could have a low or nil carrying value, but a positive market value.

EXERCISE 8.11 MouseTrap Ltd Issue to be raised in the memo includes: By increasing the estimated life on its capitalised software costs, MouseTrap will increase its reported profit because amortisation expense will decrease. From an analyst’s perspective, one concern would be whether this twelve-year life is reasonable given that software products become obsolete very quickly. Another concern is that the qualitative characteristic of comparability is affected: for example, it becomes more difficult to compare the current year’s results with previous years’ because previous years used the three-year estimated life.

(d) The average age of PPE assets is often compared with the average useful life calculation. If the ratios are close together, the company may need to replace its assets in the near future, assuming the assumptions made in calculating the ratios are correct. (A test of these assumptions might be to compare the calculations with industry averages or those of competitors.) The asset turnover ratio is one indicator of how efficient a company is using its assets, usually the higher the ratio the better.

The higher the expense, the lower the tax payment. So Units-of-production method is the preferred method for tax purposes for Machine 3 in 2015. (c) As a manager whose bonus is linked to profit, I would prefer a depreciation method that resulted in the lowest expense. From (b) above, Diminishing-balance method resulted in the lowest depreciation expense for Machine 3 in 2015. However, it should be noted that diminishing-balance method results in higher depreciation expenses in the earlier year of an asset’s life.

Straight-line depreciation provides the lowest amount for 2015 depreciation expense ($90,000) and, therefore, the highest 2015 profit. Diminishing-balance depreciation provides the highest amount for 2015 depreciation expense ($176,000) and, therefore, the lowest 2015 profit. Over the four-year period, both methods result in the same total depreciation expense ($360,000) and, therefore, the same total profit.

(3)
Based on the asset turnover ratio, Yang Ltd. is more effective in using assets to generate sales as its asset turnover ratio is higher than Ross Ltd’s ratio. One factor that complicates the comparison of the asset turnovers of the two companies is the wide difference in average age of the PPE assets. Assuming the estimated useful lives are realistically measured, Ross Ltd’s assets are in need of replacement much sooner than Yang Ltd’s (8-3.3 years versus 15-7.2 years). Another factor is the different composition of total assets for each company. For example, Ross Ltd has recorded goodwill, but Yang Ltd does not. Deleting the goodwill from Ross Ltd’s asset turnover ratio improves the ratio to about 2.5. Also, a much greater proportion of Ross Ltd’s total assets consist of PPE and intangibles. Finally, we are not told which valuation models are being used. If one company uses the revaluation model and the other the cost model, the comparison would become even more problematic.

The higher the expense, the lower the tax payment. So Units-of-production method is the preferred method for tax purposes for Machine 3 in 2015. (c) As a manager whose bonus is linked to profit, I would prefer a depreciation method that resulted in the lowest expense. From (b) above, Diminishing-balance method resulted in the lowest depreciation expense for Machine 3 in 2015. However, it should be noted that diminishing-balance method results in higher depreciation expenses in the earlier years of an asset’s life.

Straight-line depreciation provides the lowest amount for 2015 depreciation expense ($54,000) and, therefore, the highest 2015 profit. Diminishing-balance depreciation provides the highest amount for 2015 depreciation expense ($105,400) and, therefore, the lowest 2015 profit. Over the five-year period, both methods result in the same total depreciation expense ($270,000) and, therefore, the same total profit.

Based on the asset turnover ratio, Wang Ltd is more effective in using assets to generate sales. Its asset turnover ratio is 30% higher than Zhou Ltd’s ratio. One factor that complicates the comparison of the asset turnovers of the two companies is the wide difference in average age of the PPE assets. Assuming the estimated useful lives are realistically measured, Wang Ltd’s assets are in need of replacement much sooner than Zhou Ltd’s (9.35-6.05 years versus 8.81-2.25 years). Another factor is the different composition of total assets for each company. For example, Zhou Ltd has recorded goodwill, but Wang Ltd does not. Deleting the goodwill from Zhou Ltd’s asset turnover ratio improves the ratio to about 1.5. Also, a much greater proportion of Zhou Ltd’s total assets consist of PPE and intangibles. Finally, we are not told which valuation models are being used. If one company uses the revaluation model and the other the cost model, the comparison would become even more problematic.

(b)
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or the estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method the assets (refer to note 3.15). The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.
(c)
Depreciation and amortisation expense, as disclosed in note 11.2, is 2013, $12,792,000; 2012, $10,029,000. Note 11.2 reveals depreciation expense for 2013, $ 7,869,000 and 2012, $6,938,000 and amortisation expense 2013, $4,924,000 and 2012, $3,091,000.

Note 27 and 38 disclose that the company has financial leases with present value of lease payments of $83,000 and non-cancellable operating leases for premises and motor vehicles of $74,424,000. Therefore, it appears the company mainly engages in operating leases. The split between the motor vehicles and the premises is not given. The implication for financial statement analysis is that there are assets and liabilities not disclosed in the financial statements. (Note that there is a strong movement by standard setters to include all non-cancellable leases as finance leases.)

The average useful life and the average age of PPE assets are useful to compare these ratios with averages of other companies in the same industry. CSR’s and Boral’s PPE assets have been used for 8.2 years and 10 years respectively. CSR’s PPE assets have a shorter estimated life than Boral’s PPE assets. The remaining estimated life of CSR’s PPE assets is 7.47 years (15.67 - 8.2), while Boral’s PPE assets have a remaining estimated life of 7.46 years (17.46 - 10). So on average both entities have similar aged assets. The asset turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales. It shows the dollars of sales generated by each dollar invested in assets. CSR’s asset turnover ratio is 0.787 times and Boral’s 0.813 times. Therefore, it can be concluded that Boral is slightly more efficient in usage of assets.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS PROBLEM
Meds4U Ltd and Hope Ltd (a)
The primary intangibles of a healthcare products company would probably be patents, goodwill and trademarks. The nature of each of these is quite different; thus an investor would normally want to know what the composition of intangible assets is if it is material. If all intangibles were classified as goodwill then investors would be concerned as they would expect to see the company recognising patents from their development expenditures.
(b)
The asset turnover ratio is calculated as net sales divided by average total assets. This would be calculated as follows for these two companies:
Meds4U Ltd $47,314 =0.89 ($54,422 $51,472) 2
Hope Ltd. $53,796 = 1.01 ($63,706 + $42,906) 2
This suggests that Hope Ltd is slightly more effective in using its assets to generate sales. (c)
Many corporate executives complain that investors are too concerned about the short-term and don’t reward good long-term planning. As a consequence, they feel that the requirement that research and development expenditures be expensed immediately penalises those executives who do invest in the future. As a consequence, when profit does not look good, it is always tempting to cut research and development expenditures, since this will cause a direct increase in current year reported profits. Of course, it will also diminish the company’s long-term prospects.
(d)
If an entity reports goodwill on its statement of financial position, it can only have resulted from one thing – the entity must have purchased another entity. This is because entities are not allowed to record internally created goodwill. They can only report purchased goodwill. Ironically, if you want to report a large amount of goodwill, all you have to do is overpay when you purchase another business – the more you overpay, the more goodwill you will report. Obviously, reporting a lot of goodwill is not such a good thing. There is an asset impairment test which requires an entity to test annually for the impairment of goodwill.

CRITICAL THINKING BUILDING BUSINESS SKILLS 8.5
COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
The CEO would be arguing for recognising the internally generated intangibles. The IASB member would be arguing for the IAS 38 rule which prohibits the recognition of internally generated brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists and items similar in substance. Format of the short report. This should be set out in the style required in your ing course. This may differ slightly from class to class but in general it should include the following elements: Headings Title To From Date Re (what the report is about) Introduction Discussion Conclusion Recommendations You should use some sort of numbering system whether alphanumeric or not.
Some of the issues to be raised in the report: 1. One of the primary underlying principals in ing is that the transaction or event needs to be clearly identified. Expenditures on internally generated assets, such as brands, mastheads, publishing titles and customer lists, may not be recognised as an asset because the costs incurred are considered indistinguishable from expenditure incurred to develop the business as a whole (internally generated goodwill). This is specifically mentioned in IAS 38 paragraph 64 which states that expenditure on internally generated brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists and items similar in substance cannot be distinguished from the cost of developing the business as a whole. Therefore, such items are not recognised as intangible assets. 2. One of the issues is how to measure the internally generated intangibles. They are treated in a similar vein to the internally generated goodwill and IAS 38 imposes the restriction of only recognising the item when it is purchased. This restriction has been imposed on the basis of the uncertainty surrounding the value of internally generated goodwill. It is difficult to audit the value assigned to these assets. 3. The IASB framework as such does not prohibit the recognition of the internally generated intangibles. The recognition of an asset would not be dependent upon the requirement that the future economic benefit be purchased, only that it be controlled. The CEO would argue strongly that the value of the intangible can be reliably measured. If other entities can purchase these types of assets then they must be able to be measured.

4. There is international controversy regarding the treatment of goodwill. The argument for amortisation is that a company pays a for the future earning capacity of the entity it purchased and this is realised over time and as such should be amortised against the future earnings. The counter argument is that the paid is for the synergies of the new earning capacity of the investor and investee companies and, as such, it should only be written down or amortised if the asset is impaired. The current standard on goodwill does not require amortisation, but an impairment test. 5. The main issue at hand is that there is an inconsistency if you wish to compare the performance of two entities which are structured differently. Company A may have grown internally and developed intangibles which are valuable and vital to the company’s performance. Company B may have grown by purchasing other business entities and as such have identified and recognised on their statement of financial position various intangible assets. The issue is how Company A can communicate to the market that they are strong performers. One side issue is that if the assets are not recognised in Company A then their return on assets will look superior to that of Company B who has more assets recognised on their statement of financial position.

ETHICS CASE Glass Ltd
(a)
The stakeholders in this situation are: Angela Smith, managing director of Glass Ltd Jonty Upright, ant The shareholders of Glass Ltd Potential investors in Glass Ltd
(b)
The intentional misstatement of the life of an asset or the amount of the residual value is unethical for whatever the reason. There is nothing unethical per se about changing the estimate either of the life of an asset or of an asset’s residual value if the change is an attempt to improve the allocation of the asset’s depreciable cost over the asset’s useful life. In this case, it appears from the ant’s reaction that the revisions in the useful life and residual value are intended only to improve earnings which would be unethical. The fact that the competition uses a longer life on its equipment is not necessarily relevant. The competition’s maintenance and repair policies and activities may be different. The competition may use its equipment fewer hours a year (e.g. one shift rather than two shifts daily) than Glass Ltd.

GROUP DECISION CASE
Auckland Ltd & Wellington Ltd (a) Auckland: Straight-line method Annual Depreciation Building [($460,000 - $60,000) x 2%*] Equipment [($200,000 - $15,000) x 12.5%**] Total annual depreciation
$8,000 23 125 $31 125
Total accumulated depreciation ($31,125 x 3)
$93 375
* (100% ÷ 50 years) = 2% **(100% ÷ 8 years) = 12.5% Wellington Ltd: diminishing-balance method at double the straight line. Year 2015 2016 2017

(b)
Year 2015 2016 2017 Total profit
(c)
Auckland Ltd Profit $126,000 123,800 117,500 $367,300
Wellington Ltd Profit as Adjusted $139,275 138,039 141,457 $418,771
Calculation for Wellington Ltd $102,000 + $68,400 - $31,125 = $139,275 $114,000 + $55,164 - $31,125= $138,039 $127,500 + $45,082 - $31,125 = $141,457
As shown above, when the two companies use the same depreciation method, Wellington Ltd is more profitable than Auckland Ltd. When the two companies are using different depreciation methods, Wellington Ltd has more cash than Auckland Ltd for two reasons: 1. its earnings are generating more cash than the earnings of Auckland Ltd, and 2. depreciation expense has no effect on cash. Cash generated by operations can be arrived at by adding depreciation expense to profit. If this is done, it can be seen that Wellington Ltd’s operations generate more cash ($343,500 + $168,646 = $512,146) than Auckland Ltd’s ($367,300 + $93,375 = $460,675). Based on the above analysis, Ms James should invest in Wellington Ltd. Not only is it in a better cash financial position than Auckland Ltd, but it is also more profitable.

SUSTAINABILITY
Fonterra Co-operative Group sustainability 1. The term sustainability is about making sure the social, economic and environmental needs of our community are met and kept healthy for future generations. Sustainable development must not just be about economic growth but also environmental quality and social equity. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) for business means companies must be aware and have a core understanding of CSR characteristics; an understanding of the basic issues and how they may affect decision making; to be able to apply this basic knowledge with competence to specific activities; and have strategic alignment ie have an in depth understanding of the issues and possess the expertise to embed CSR principles into the business decision making process. 2. Fonterra’s latest sustainability report. The answer will change here depending on which year the sustainability report is accessed. The following is the link to the website where the report can be ed: http://www.fonterra.com/. Once the site is accessed, click on sustainability or search the site for sustainability. The students are required to report on: goals, measurement and achievement in Water Waste Resources- and energy use, and Climate change 3. Climate change can affect asset values either directly e.g. through rising water levels, floods, erosion, droughts etc. damaging land and buildings, leading to asset impairments, or indirectly through changing demands for products and thus the production facilities required for their manufacture. It could also provide new opportunities for capital investment.
