PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Acquisition & Subsequent Costs
Historical Cost of Property, Plant and Equipment
Cash basis - is the cash price (net of trade discounts and rebates) and other incidental costs incurred in
connection with its acquisition plus necessary costs incurred to bring the asset to its present location and
condition and to prepare the asset for its intended use.
On account subject to cash discount - is the purchase price (net of trade discounts and rebates), net of the
cash discount whether taken or not and other incidental costs incurred in connection with its acquisition
plus necessary costs incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition and to prepare the
asset for its intended use.
By installment (but with a cash price) - is the cash price and other incidental costs incurred in connection
with its acquisition plus necessary costs incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition
and to prepare the asset for its intended use.
By a deferred installment plan (without a cash price) - is the present or discounted value of all future
payments.
Issuance of Debt or Equity securities - is the fair market value of the asset received or securities issued
whichever is clearly determinable.
Donation - the asset received is initially measured at its fair market value with a corresponding credit to
Additional Paid In Capital/Share Premium.
Transfer of PPE from customer - the asset received is measured at its cost. The deemed cost of that asset
is its fair value on the date of the transfer. If there are ' Separately identifiable services received by the
customer in exchange for the transfer, then the recipient should split the transaction into separate
components as required by IAS 18. If there is only one component identified, revenue is recognized when
the service is performed (which could, for example, be as soon as access to a utility network is provided).
IFRIC 18 provides guidance on how to identify the entity's obligation to provide one or more separately
identifiable services in exchange for the transferred asset - and, therefore, how to recognize revenue:
• If the entity has only one service obligation, it would recognize revenue when the service is performed.
• If the entity has more than one separately identifiable service obligation, it should allocate the fair value
of the total consideration received to each service and recognize revenue from each service separately in
accordance with IAS is.
If the entity has an obligation to provide ongoing services, the period over which revenue is recognized is
generally determined by the terms of the agreement with the customer. If the agreement does not specify a
period, the revenue shall be recognized over a period no longer than the useful life of the transferred asset
used to provide the ongoing service.
Exchange with commercial substance - the fair market value of the asset received or asset surrendered
whichever is clearly determinable. Gain or loss is recognized in their entirety.
Exchange without commercial substance - the asset received is initially measured at carrying value or
impaired value. Gain is not recognized however if there's objective evidence that the non-cash asset given
up is impaired the amount of impairment loss is recognized.
An exchange transaction has commercial substance when:
a. The cash flows of the asset received differ from the cash flows of the asset transferred and the
difference is significant relative to the fair value of the asset exchanged.
b. The entity specific value of the portion of the entity's operations affected by the transaction changes as
a result of the exchange is significant relative to the fair value of the asset exchanged. The entity specific
value is the present value of the cash flows an entity expects to arise from the continuing use of an asset
and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
Examples of Directly Attributable Costs
a. Cost of employee benefits arising directly from construction or acquisition of the item of PPE
b. Costs of site preparation
c. Initial delivery and handling costs
d. Installation and assembly costs
e. Costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling
any items produced while bringing the asset to that location and condition (such as samples produced
when testing the equipment)
f. Professional fees
Examples of costs that are not costs of an item of PPE
a. Cost of opening a new facility
b. Cost of introducing a new product or service (including cost of advertising and promotional activities)
c. Cost of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customer (including costs of staff
training)
d. Administrative and other general overhead costs
Subsequent Costs - the costs of the day to day servicing of an item of property, plant and equipment are
recognized in the profit or loss as they are incurred. Costs of day-to-day are primarily the , costs of labor
and other consumables, and may include the cost of small parts. The purpose of these expenditures is
often described as "repairs and maintenance" (PAS 16).
Parts of some PPE may require replacement at regular intervals. Items of PPE may also be acquired to
make a less frequently recurring replacements or to make a non-recurring replacements. Such items of
PPE is recognized (when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item of PPE will
flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably) but the carrying amount of those parts
that are replaced is derecognized (PAS 16).
Measurement after Recognition:
Cost Model – after recognition as an asset, an item of PPE shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated
depreciation and any impairment loss.
Revaluation Model – after recognition as an asset, an item of PPE whose fair value can be measured
reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent impairment losses. Revaluation shall be made
with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which
would be determined using fair value at balance sheet date.

Differences between IFRS for SMEs and FULL IFRS

IFRS for SMEs
No scope exclusion for PPE held for sale and
exploration and evaluation assets
Applies to PPE and investment property whose fair
value cannot be measured reliably without undue cost
or effort
The scope of any replacement part is capitalized if the
replacement is expected to provide incremental future
benefits
If the major components of an item of PPE have
significantly . different patterns of consumption of
economic benefits, an entity must allocate the initial
cost of the asset to its major components and
depreciate each component separately over its useful
life.
Borrowing costs are not capitalized
Only the cost model is applied
Re-assessment is only applicable when there is an
indication of changes in the residual, depreciation
method, or useful life of an item of PPE
When an investment property is reclassified due to a
reliable estimate of the property not being
determinable without undue cost or effort, there is no
prescription or limitation on the residual value for
depreciation purposes
A plan to dispose of an asset before a previous
expected date is an indication of impairment
Full IFRS
Scope exclusion for PPE held for sale and exploration
and evaluation assets
Only applicable to PPE Investment property carried at
cost is depreciated by following the principles in IAS
16 – Property, plant and equipment and cot
reclassified
Capitalization of replacement parts are based on the
normal recognition criteria
Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is
significant in relation to the total cost of the item must
be depreciated separately.
Borrowing costs are capitalized
The cost or revaluation model is applied
Annual re-assessment of the residual value,
depreciation method, or useful life of PPE is required
When an investment property is reclassified to PPE
due to reliable estimate of the property not being
determinable, the residual value must be zero for
depreciation purposes
Non-current assets held for sale are classified
separately limited to the fair value less cost to sell
