Chapter 9: Property, plant and equipment

True/false questions
31. On initial recognition of property, plant and equipment, the cost only comprises the
purchase price plus an initial estimate of dismantling and/or restoration costs.

The statement is false. There are three components to the cost of property, plant and
equipment per paragraph 16 of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. In addition to the
two components referred to above directly attributable costs also form part of the cost of
property, plant and equipment.
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

32. Fair value is defined in AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment as the amount for
which an asset can be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction.

The statement is false. Fair value is defined in paragraph 6 of AASB 116 as ‘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.’
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

33. Where an entity acquires a bundle of assets and the total cost of the assets is greater
than the sum of the fair values of the assets acquired, a bargain purchase has been
made.

The statement is false. A bargain purchase occurs if the cost of the assets is less than the total
of the fair value of the assets acquired.
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

34. Costs of testing whether an asset is functioning property should be capitalised into the
initial cost of the asset under AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment.

The statement is true. This is an example of a directly attributable cost per paragraph 17 of
AASB 116.
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

35. Costs of training staff in the use of a new asset are capitalised into the initial cost of the
asset under AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment.

The statement is false. Such costs are specifically excluded as an example of directly
attributable costs per paragraphs 19 and20 of AASB 116.
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

36. Costs of removal or dismantling an asset at the end of its useful life are measured on a
present value basis and capitalised into the initial cost of the asset.

The statement is true. AASB 137 Provisions Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,
requires that a liability for future restoration be recognised. Acceptance of the liability for
dismantling and removal is an essential part of bringing the asset to a position of intended
use.
Learning Objective 9.3 ~ describe how to measure property, plant and equipment on initial
recognition.

37. Under AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, subsequent to initial recognition
property, plant and equipment assets can only be measured using the revaluation model.

The statement is false. Subsequent to initial recognition, an entity can measure property, plant
and equipment assets using either the cost or the revaluation models.
Learning Objective 9.4 ~ explain the alternative ways in which property, plant and
equipment can be measured subsequent to initial recognition.

38. Expenditure designed to improve the quality of the output of an asset are capitalised
into the cost of the asset in accordance with paragraph 7 of AASB 116 Property, Plant
and Equipment.

The statement is true. Such costs should be capitalised if it is probable that the expenditure
increases the future economic benefits embodied in the asset in excess of its standard of
performance assessed at the time the expenditure is made.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

39. Depreciation is an accounting process which involves a systematic allocation of the


depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

The statement is true. This principle is provided in the definitions in AASB 116 Property,
Plant and Equipment.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

40. Depreciation is not recognised if an asset’s residual value exceeds its carrying amount.

The statement is true. The recognition of depreciation requires the existence of an asset’s
depreciable amount which is the asset’s cost less its residual value.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

Chapter 9: Property, plant and equipment

41. The residual value of a non-current asset is the amount or consideration actually
received by an entity at the date of the asset’s disposal.

The statement is false. The residual value is the estimated amount or consideration that the
entity expects to receive from disposal after deducting the estimated costs of disposal.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

42. The units-of-production method of recognising depreciation is only suitable for use by
entities involved in manufacturing.

The statement is false. AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment allows entities to choose
the depreciation method that most closely reflects the pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset. Where an entity in a service industry has an asset
that has a finite life in terms of the number of hour’s usage, they may depreciate the asset
using the units-of-production method.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

43. Once an entity has selected a depreciation method to use to depreciate an asset, it must
use that same method for the entire useful life of the asset.

The statement is false. AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment requires entities to review
the depreciation method chosen at least at the end of each financial year If there has been a
change in the pattern of benefits such that the current method is inappropriate, the method
should be changed to one that reflects the changed pattern of benefits.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

44. The expected physical wear and tear on an asset should be taken into account when
determining the useful life of the asset.

The statement is true. Paragraph 56 of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment provides a
number of factors to consider when determining an asset’s useful life, of which the expected
physical wear and tear is one. Others are: the expected usage of the asset; technical or
commercial obsolescence; and legal or similar limits on the asset’s use.
Learning Objective 9.5 ~ explain the cost model of measurement and understand the nature
and calculation of depreciation.

45. The revaluation model must be applied to classes of assets.

The statement is true. This is a requirement of paragraph 36 of AASB 116 Property, Plant
and Equipment. For each class of assets, management must choose whether to apply the cost
model or the revaluation model.
Learning Objective 9.6 ~ explain the revaluation model of measurement.

Testbank to accompany Company Accounting 10e

46. A revaluation increment reversing a previous revaluation decrement must be credited to


the profit or loss.

The statement is true. AASB 116 paragraph 39 requires that revaluation increments shall be
recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same
asset previously recognised in profit or loss. Where there has been no previous revaluation
decrement, the increment is credited to the Asset Revaluation Surplus.
Learning Objective 9.6 ~ explain the revaluation model of measurement.

47. When a property, plant and equipment asset is derecognised through sale, any
associated asset revaluation surplus must always be transferred to retained earnings.

The statement is false. There is no requirement in AASB 116 that the asset revaluation
surplus must be transferred, although it may be transferred if the entity chooses to do so.
Learning Objective 9.6 ~ explain the revaluation model of measurement.

48. One of the reasons for selecting the cost model over the revaluation model is because of
the increased relevance of such measures.

The statement is false. It is argued that the revaluation model provides more relevant
information than the cost model.
Learning Objective 9.7 ~ confirm the factors to consider when choosing which measurement
model to apply.

49. Items of property, plant and equipment may only be derecognised if they are sold.

The statement is false. Items of property, plant and equipment may also be derecognised
when no future economic benefits are expected, either from future use or from disposal.
Learning Objective 9.8 ~ account for derecognition.

50. Disclosures under AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment are required on an asset-
by-asset basis where the revaluation model has been used.

The statement is false. Disclosures are required on a class-by-class basis where the
revaluation model has been used.
Learning Objective 9.9 ~ apply the disclosure requirements of AASB 116.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
