Plant Assets and
Depreciation

PLANT ASSETS
2
– tangible resources used in the operation of a business
– not intended for sale to customers
PLANT ASSETS

Plant assets are subdivided into four classes:

Cost (all costs to place asset into usefulness)
Useful life estimate of the expected life based on need for repair, service life, and vulnerability to obsolescence
Salvage value estimate of the asset’s value at the end of its useful life
3 FACTORS IN COMPUTING DEPRECIATION
10
An asset must be carried on thebalance sheet at the amount paid for it.
The cost of an asset equals the sum ofall of the costs incurred to bring the asset
to its intended purpose.
GAAP Cost Principle
11
Costs consist of all expenditures necessary to:
1. acquire the asset
2. make it ready for its intended use.a) May include sales tax, freight costs,
installation costs and training costs.
DETERMINING THE COST OF PLANT ASSETS
12
Recurring Costs
Recurring costs such as licenses and insurance for an asset are NOT included with the asset—instead, they are expensed in an EXPENSE account.
13
Assets slowly lose value.
DEPRECIATION
14
Assets slowly lose value.That decrease of the asset’s value becomes an expense
DEPRECIATION

15
Depreciation recognizes that a plant asset is worth less and less over its useful life.
16
Usefulness may decline because of • Wear and tear
• Obsolescence
DEPRECIATION
17
Land is not depreciated.
18
Land is not depreciated.

No “wear and tear”No obsolescence

Example
Truck
30,000
21
If you buy a company truck for cash in the beginning of 2011, you would record the transaction like this:
Cash
30,000
Example
Truck
30,000
22
At the end of 2011, your truck has gone down in value, but the ledger still say it’s worth $30,000
Example
Truck
30,000
23
At the end of 2011, your truck has gone down in value, but the ledger still say it’s worth $30,000
We need the ledger value to match the real value.

(Cost – Salvage value)= Depreciation per year
Straight-Line Method Example
years of useful life
26
(Cost – Salvage value)= Depreciation per year
Straight-Line Method Example
years of useful life
(30,000 – 500)= $5,900

27
(Cost – Salvage value)= Depreciation per year
Straight-Line Method Example
years of useful life
(30,000 – 500)= $5,900

28
Depreciation amount is the same for each year of the asset’s useful life.
Using this method, depreciation is measured only by time.

Depreciation if truck driven 15,000 in 2010
Expense = (Cost per mile) x (# miles)
= $0.295 x 15,000
= $4,425 depreciation
