Accounting for Long-Term Operational Assets
Tangible versus Intangible Assets
Tangible assets have a physical presence; they can be seen and
touched. Intangible assets are rights or privileges. They cannot be seen or
touched.
Tangible Long-Term Assets
1.1. Property, Plant, and EquipmentProperty, Plant, and Equipment – Sometimes called plant assets or fixed assets. We depreciate these assets over their useful life.
2.2. Natural ResourcesNatural Resources – Mineral deposits, oil and gas reserves, timber stands, coal mines, and stone quarries are some examples of natural resources. We deplete these assets over their useful life.
3.3. LandLand – Has an infinite life and is not subject to depreciation.
Intangible Assets
1.1. Intangible Assets with Identifiable Useful LivesIntangible Assets with Identifiable Useful Lives – These intangibles include patents and copyrights. We amortize the cost of each over its useful life.
2.2. Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful LivesIntangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives - These intangibles include renewable franchises, trademarks, and goodwill. The cost of these assets is not expensed unless it can be shown that there has been an impairment in value.

Basket Purchase AllocationMatrix, Inc. purchased land and a building for $5,000,000 cash. An independent appraiser
estimated that the land has a fair market value of $2,000,000, and the building has a fair market
value of $6,000,000. How will we assign the $5,000,000 cost between the land and building?

Double-Declining-Balance Method
The double-declining-balance method is called an accelerated depreciation method because more
depreciation expense is recorded in the early years than in later years. Determining the amount of depreciation
expense in any year is the result of a three-step process.
1. Determine the straight-line rate of depreciation.
2. Multiply the straight-line rate times two.
3. Multiply the double-declining rate by the book value of the asset at the beginning of the period.

Income Tax ConsiderationsThe maximum depreciation currently allowed
by tax law is computed using the modified modified accelerated cost recovery systemaccelerated cost recovery system (MACRS).
The rate of depreciation depends on the class life of the asset and the period in which we are calculating depreciation. There are currently
six categories for property, excluding real estate. They are 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, 10-
year, 15-year, and 20-year property.

Here are the tax rates for 5-year and 7-year property:

Revision of EstimatesEstimates are frequently revised when new information surfaces. Assume we purchased equipment on January 1, 2006, for $24,000 cash and estimated salvage value was $3,000. The equipment has an estimated useful life
of seven years, and the company uses straight-line depreciation.
($24,000 – $3,000) ($24,000 – $3,000) ÷ 7 = $3,000 depreciation per year÷ 7 = $3,000 depreciation per year($24,000 – $3,000) ($24,000 – $3,000) ÷ 7 = $3,000 depreciation per year÷ 7 = $3,000 depreciation per year
On January 1, 2009, after three years of depreciation, it was determined that the machine has a remaining
useful life of only two more years for a total estimated useful life of five years.
