Non-current assets
(i) Assets that have a long useful life and are expected to provide future economic benefits
for the entity over a period of several years
(ii) Non-current assets may be intangible or tangible.

Intangible non-current assets Tangible non-current assets


These assets do not have a physical existence These assets have physical existence,
such as patent rights, licensing, software etc. such as land and buildings, plant and equipment,
office equipment, furniture and fixture and vehicles.
These are often referred to as ‘property, plant and
equipment’.

Property, Plant and equipment


Property, Plant and equipment are:
1 Tangible items
2 that are expected to be used during more than one accounting period; and
3 are held by the business for:
(i) Production and supply of goods or services,
(ii) For rental to others, or
(iii) for administrative purposes

Distinguish non-current assets and Inventory


(i) If an entity’s main business is selling machines, then that machine does not classify as non-current asset rather
the machinery used to produce the machines for sales is non-current asset. The machines manufactured for sale
are classified as inventory.
(ii) The same goes for real estate businesses. Their offices are non-current assets but the houses they sell are
inventory.
(iii) As a practical expedient, immaterial items are not recognised as non-current assets even if they
meet the definition criteria, for example, staplers and calculators etc.

Ex-1
State whether the items listed below can be recognised as property, plant and equipment and
reason if they cannot be so recognised:
1 Standby generator expected to be used 6 A factory including building and machinery.
for 7 years 7 A bus for pick-and-drop of staff members.
2 An office building 8 A generator given to another entity on rent
3 A trademark 9 Small tools & spare parts having low value
4 An office printer 10 Wastebasket
5 A plot of land held for resale

Multiple choice questions:


1 Which of the following cannot be classified as tangible non-current asset:
(a) A commercial generator held for use in factory in case of electricity shortage
(b) A commercial generator held for earning by renting to customers
(c) A commercial generator held for use in office in case of electricity shortage
(d) A commercial generator held for resale to customers

2 Which of the following are items of property, plant and equipment?


(i) Standby generator expected to be used for seven years
(ii) A plot of land held for resale

DEPRECIATION
Purpose of depreciation
1 Expenditure on non current asset helps business to generate benefit for several accounting
periods
2 The cost for the benefit received from the use of asset must be recognized in the same
period in which benefit was obtained
3 This cost is known as depreciation expense
4 depreciation expense for the period should be deducted from the cost of asset and
recorded as other operating expense in SOCI

Useful life
(i) the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity; or
(ii) the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset
by the business
Remember:All depreciation methods calculates depreciation over economic life useful life

Residual value/ scrap value


estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset
if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life
Depreciable amount
The cost of asset less its residual value
Depreciation
Systematic allocation of depreciable amount of asset over its useful life
Accumulated depreciation
Total depreciation till date is known as accumulated depreciation

Net book value (NBV)


NBV is the remaining value of asset on a particular date
It can be calculated by following formulas
NBV = Cost - accumulated depreciation
NBV = Opening NBV - depreciation for the year
Multiple choice questions:
21 The purpose of depreciation is to:
(a) Allocate the cost less residual value on a systematic basis over the asset’s useful life
(b) Write the asset down to its realisable value each period
(c) Accumulate a fund for asset replacement
(d) Recognise that assets lose value over time

22 Depreciable amount means;


(a) Cost of an asset + Residual value
(b) Cost of an asset – Residual value
(c) Cost of an asset – Residual value / useful life
(d) Residual value – Cost of an asset
23 What is the net amount an entity expects to obtain for an asset at the end of its useful life?
(a) Residual value
(b) Depreciated value
(c) Present value
(d) Fair value

DEPRECIATION METHODS
Systematic allocation of depreciable amount can be done by different methods
(i) Straight line method
In this method, the depreciable amount is charged in equal amounts to each reporting period
over the expected useful life of the asset.
(distribute the depreciable amount equally over useful life)

Depreciation formula = Cost - residual value or Cost x dep rate


useful life
(Ans gives depreciation in Rs.)
Dep rate (SLM) = Depreciable amount
Cost x useful life

(ii) Reducing balance method
In this method, the annual depreciation charge is
a fixed percentage of the NBV of the asset at the start of the period
which results in gradually lower depreciation charge as asset’s efficiency is reduced over its useful life.

CHANGE IN DEPRECIATION FORMULA
General rule: Depreciation formulas does not change over asset's useful life
Exception: Depreciation formulas shall be changed in following circumstances
(i) Change in residual value
(ii) Change in useful life
(iii) Change in depreciation method

How to calculate depreciation in the year of change


Step # 1 Find NBV at start of the year
Step # 2 Apply New depreciation formula
SLM new Dep formula = NBV on date of change - new residual value
remaining useful life

RBM new Dep formula = 1 - 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
𝑁𝐵𝑉 𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒
Step # 3 Depreciation after date of change shall be calculated using new depreciation formula

Notes: Remaining useful life


It is the remaining useful life of asset at start of the "year of change"

New residual value


If residual value is changed then we shall use new residual value as given in Qs
If residual value is NOT changed then original residual value shall be used

If date of change is ending date of current year:


then it shall be assumed that change occurred in the next year; and
current year depreciation shall be calculated using old formula
