Loftus et al (Chapter 5):
• Comprehension question 1:
What assets constitute property, plant and equipment?
/ 69
The entity acquires an
item of PP&E (see definition in AASB 116.6)
and meets recognition criteria (see AASB 116.7)
Measurement at initial
recognition:
- At cost
(see AASB 116.15-19)
Cost model:
Assets carried at cost less accum depreciation and impairment losses
Revaluation model:
Assets carried at fair value at date of revaluation less
subsequent accum depreciation and
impairment losses
Increases:
Recognised directly in OCI and accumulated in equity under the heading of Revaluation Surplus
(unless reversing a previous decrease of same asset
previously recognised in profit or loss).
Decreases:
Recognised in P&L(unless reversing a previous increase
of same asset previously recognised in OCI)

Cost model
6
/ 69
▸ AASB 116.30 requires that assets are carried at cost less any accumulated:
• Depreciation and
• Impairment losses (Impairment is covered in Topic 7).
▸ Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, not capitalised – since capitalisation requires increased probable
future economic benefit (at the time of expenditure). (AASB
116.12)
The “cost model”
7
/ 69
▸ Depreciation is a process of allocation designed to reflect the fall in the value of the asset in a pattern consistent with the
consumption of economic benefits by the entity.
▸ AASB 116 does not specify how this allocation process should be undertaken.
▸ Various depreciation methods are used in practice:
• Straight line method;
• Diminishing-balance method;
• Units-of-production method.

Discussion question
9
Break up into groups of 2-3 students.
Share your thoughts on the following scenario:
“Surfers Ltd uses tractors as a part of its operating equipment, and it applies the
straight-line depreciation method to depreciate these assets. Surfers Ltd has just taken
over Paradise Ltd, which uses similar tractors in its operations. However, Paradise Ltd
has been using a diminishing balance method of depreciation for these tractors. The
accountant in Surfers Ltd is arguing that for both entities, the same depreciation method
should be used for tractors.”
Provide arguments for and against this proposal.

Example – accounting using the cost model
10
▸ XYZ Ltd acquired a machine on 1 July 2015 for $80,000.
▸ Useful life = 4 years; Residual value = $20,000.
▸ XYZ Ltd uses the cost model for machinery, and depreciates
machinery on a straight-line basis.
Required:
Calculate the depreciation expense for the year ended 30 June
2016, and prepare journal entries to account for the acquisition of
the machine and depreciation for the year ended 30 June 2016.
Depreciation: ($80,000 - $20,000) / 4 = $15,000
/ 69
Example – accounting using the cost model

Journal entries:
1 July 2015:
DR Machinery $80,000
CR Cash at bank $80,000
(acquisition of machinery)
30 June 2016:
DR Depreciation expense $15,000
CR Accumulated depreciation – machinery $15,000
(annual depreciation)
/ 69
Example – accounting using the cost model
12
...Activity continued:
▸ XYZ Ltd sold the machine on 31 December 2016 for $60,000.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to account for depreciation of the machine
upto 31 December 2016, and the disposal of the machine.
Annual Depreciation: ($80,000 - $20,000) / 4 = $15,000
Depreciation for ½ year: $15,000 x 0.5 = $7,500
/ 69
Example – accounting using the cost model
13
Carrying amount at 31/12/16: $80,000 - $15,000 - $7,500 = $57,500
Profit/(loss) on sale: $60,000 - $57,500 = $2,500
Journal entries:
31 December 2016:
DR Depreciation expense $7,500
CR Accumulated depreciation – machinery $7,500
(depreciation on machine up until 31 December 2016)

Revaluation model
15
/ 69
▸ Measurement basis is Fair Value.
▸ Frequency of revaluations is not specified, but must be performed with
sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount of assets is not
materially different from their fair value.
▸ Accounting for assets using the revaluation model is done on an asset-
by-asset basis for each asset within the class of assets.
▸ As with the cost model, depreciation still needs to be accounted for.
The “revaluation model”
16
/ 69
Discussion Question
- Depreciation of revalued assets How do we determine depreciation if the amount that
the asset is measured at is continually changing?
17
/ 69
▸ From AASB 116.31 we can see that assets measured under the revaluation model do need to be depreciated.
▸ AASB 116.6 contains the following definitions:
• Depreciation – the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an
asset over its useful life;
• Depreciable amount – the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted
for cost, less its residual value;
• Residual value – the estimated value that an entity would currently obtain
from disposal if the asset were at the end of it’s useful life;
• Useful life – the period over which an asset is expected to be available for
use by an entity.
Depreciation of revalued assets
18
/ 69
▸ Depreciation for revalued assets will therefore be calculated as follows:
(Fair value of asset – Estimated residual value)
Estimated remaining useful life
▸ For example, if we have revalued an asset to $200,000 on 30th June 2016, and we estimate that the asset has a residual value of $50,000
and remaining useful life of 2 years, the annual depreciation for the
years ending 30th June 2017 and 30th June 2018 would be:
($200,000 – $50,000) = $75,000 depreciation p.a.

Accounting for revaluation
increases and decreases
20
/ 69
Review questions:
21
Loftus et al (Chapter 5):
• Comprehension question 12 and 13:
12. Under the revaluation model, how is a revaluation
increase accounted for?
13. Under the revaluation model, how is a revaluation
decrease accounted for?
/ 69
▸ AASB 116 paragraph 39 states:
“If an asset's carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation,
the increase shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus.
However, the increase shall be recognised in profit or loss to the
extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset
previously recognised in profit or loss.”
Applying the revaluation model: revaluation
increases
22
/ 69
▸ AASB 116 paragraph 40 states:
“If an asset's carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease shall be recognised in profit or loss.
However, the decrease shall be recognised in other comprehensive
income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation
surplus in respect of that asset. The decrease recognised in other
comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity under
the heading of revaluation surplus.”
Applying the revaluation model: revaluation
decreases
23
/ 69
24
Revaluation increments, and subsequent
reversals Revaluation increment:
- “Gain on revaluation – OCI”
- Accumulates in ARS
Subsequent reversal:
- “Loss on revaluation – OCI”
- Reduce from balance in ARS.
If the decrease exceeds the
prior increment, the excess is
accounted for as per the next
slide.

Revaluation decrements, and subsequent
reversals
Revaluation decrement:
- “Loss on revaluation – P&L”
Subsequent reversal:
- “Gain on revaluation – P&L”
If the increase exceeds the
prior decrement, the excess
is accounted for as per the

What are we accounting for?
/ 69
Application of the requirements in
AASB 116.39 and 40:
- Preparing journal entries
27
/ 69
• When accounting for depreciable assets under the revaluation
model:
o Any balance of accumulated depreciation is written back to the asset
account prior to recording the revaluation.
o This journal entry would be:
Dr. Accumulated depreciation [write-back accum depreciation to asset a/c]
Cr. Asset
Revaluation journal entries
28
/ 69
Example – writing back
accumulated depreciation
29
▸ XYZ Ltd acquired a machine on 1 July 2015 for $80,000.
▸ The carrying amount of the machine on 1 July 2016 was $60,000.
▸ XYZ Ltd decided to adopt the revaluation model from 1 July 2016.
Prior to writing the accumulated depreciation back to the ‘machine’
account, the machine would have been recorded as follows:
Machine – at cost $80,000
Less: accumulated depreciation ($20,000)
Carrying amount $60,000
/ 69
Example – writing back
accumulated depreciation
30
The journal entry to write back the accumulated depreciation to the
‘machine’ account would be:
Dr. Accumulated depreciation - machine $20,000
Cr. Machine $20,000
Prior to recording the first revaluation on 1 July 2016, the machine
would then be recorded as follows (rather than being recorded at cost
$80,000 less accumulated depreciation of $20,000):
Machine: $60,000
/ 69
1. Revaluation increases (not
reversing prior decreases)
31
/ 69
▸ The entries for a revaluation increase (with no reversal of prior decreases) would be:

Dr. Asset
Cr. Gain from revaluation – OCI [revaluation of asset to fair value]
Dr. Gain from revaluation – OCI
Cr. Asset revaluation surplus [transfer gain to equity]
