1. Acquisition of a Non-current Asset
l The cost of a non-current asset is any amount incurred toacquire the asset and bring it into working condition:
Includes ExcludesCapital expenditure such as Revenue expenditure such asl Purchase price l Repairsl Delivery costs l Renewalsl Legal fees l Repaintingl Subsequent expenditure
which enhances the asset
l The correct double entry to record the purchase is:
Dr Non-current asset XCr Bank / Cash / Payables X
l A separate cost account should be kept for each categoryof non-current asset eg motor vehicles, fixtures and fittings

2. Depreciation
l IAS 16 defines depreciation as 'the measure of the cost orrevalued amount of the economic benefits of the tangiblenon-current asset that has been consumed during theperiod'
l In simple terms, depreciation is a mechanism to reflect thewearing out of a non-current asset
l Depreciation matches the cost of a non-current asset tothe revenues generated by that asset over its useful life
l This is achieved by recording a depreciation charge eachyear, the effect of which is twofold ('the dual effect')l Reduce the balance sheet value of the non-current
asset by cumulative depreciation to reflect the wearing out
l Record the depreciation charge as an expense in theincome statement to match to the revenue generated bythe non-current asset

3. Methods of Calculating Depreciation
Straight Line method
Depreciation charge = Cost - Residual Value–––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Useful life
Or X% x costResidual Value: the estimated disposal value of the assetat the end of its useful life
Useful Life: the estimated number of years that thebusiness will use the asset for
Reducing Balance Method
Depreciation charge = X % x Net Book Value (NBV)
Net Book Value: original cost of the non-current asset lessaccumulated depreciation on the asset to date
Non Current Assets

STRAIGHT LINEREDUCINGBALANCE
SUM OF DIGITS
Depreciationcharge is the sameeach year and so
assumes benefit isconsumed evenly
A reducing amountof depreciation ischarged each yearand so assumesmore benefit is

Sum Of Digits Method
Depreciation charge = X x (Cost - residual value)Y
X : Year 1 = estimated useful life (n)Year 2 = estimated useful life (n) - 1Year 3 = estimated useful life (n) - 2 and so on
Y: constant each year and calculated as n(n+1)–––––––––
2Assets bought / sold in the period
If a non-current asset is bought or sold in the period, there aretwo ways in which the depreciation could be accounted for:l Provide a full year's depreciation in the year of acquisition
and none in the year of disposall Monthly or Pro Rata depreciation , based on the exact
number of months that the asset has been owned

5. Consistency and Subjectivity whenAccounting for Depreciation
The following are all based on estimates made by themanagement of a business:l Depreciation methodl Residual valuel Useful life
Different estimates would result in varying levels ofdepreciation and so profits.
It can be argued that these subjective areas could thereforeresult in manipulation of the accounts by management.
In order to reduce the scope for such manipulation andincrease consistency of treatment, IAS 16 Property, Plant andEquipment requires the following:l depreciation method should be reviewed at each year end
and changed if the method used no longer reflects thepattern of use of the asset
l residual value and useful life should be reviewed at eachyear end and changed if expectations differ from previousestimates

Changes to the useful life / residual value of an assetAlfie purchased a non-current asset for $100,000 on 1January 20X2 and started depreciating it over five years.Residual value was taken as $10,000.
At 1 January 20X3 a review of asset lives was undertakenand the remaining useful life was estimated at eight years.Residual value was nil.
Calculate the depreciation charge for the year ended 31December 20X3 and subsequent years.

A part exchange agreement arises where an old asset isprovided in part payment for a new one, the balance of the newasset being paid in cash.
The procedure to record the transaction is very similar to thethree step process seen for a cash disposal. There is howevera fourth step:1 Remove the original cost of the non-current asset from the
'non current asset' account. Dr Disposals original costCr NC Assets original cost
2 Remove accumulated depreciation on the non-currentasset from the 'accumulated depreciation' account

8. Revaluation of Non-current Assets
l Some non-current assets such as land and buildings rise invalue over time. Businesses may choose to reflect thecurrent value of the asset in their balance sheet. This isknown as revaluing the asset.
l The difference between the net book value of the assetand the revalued amount (normally a gain) is recorded in arevaluation reserve in the balance sheet.
l This gain is not recorded in the income statement becauseit is unrealised i.e. it is not realised in the form of cash

What is the double entry required to record the revaluation?
SolutionThe current balances in the accounts are:Building cost $300,000Accumulated Depreciation $100,000
l The building cost account needs to be uplifted by$450,000 to $750,000.
l On revaluation, the accumulated depreciation accountis cleared out
Therefore the double entry required is:Dr Building cost $450,000Dr Accumulated Depreciation $100,000Cr Revaluation Reserve $550,000The gain of $550,000 reflects the difference between the netbook value pre revaluation of $200,000 and the revaluedamount of $750,000.

for depreciation should be based on the revalued amountand the remaining useful life of the asset.
