IND AS 16 Property, Plant And Equipment
1. Introduction
Property, Plant & Equipment are held for productive use and intended to be used for more than one accounting period.
They are not made available for sale in the ordinary course of business.Ind AS 16 prescribes specific accounting
treatment for Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE). The principal issues addressed are recognition of assets,
determination of carrying amounts, depreciation charge and impairment losses to be recognized.
2. Objective
The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for property, plant and equipment. The
principal issues in accounting for property, plant and equipment are the recognition of the assets, the determination
of their carrying amounts and the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognised in relation to them.
Under Ind AS 16, property, plant and equipment is initially measured at its cost, subsequently measured using either
a cost or a revaluation model and depreciated so that its depreciable amount is allocated on a systematic basis over
its useful life.
3. Scope
This Standard does not apply to:
a) property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale
b) biological assets related to agricultural activity other than bearer plants
c) the recognition and measurement of exploration and evaluation assets
d) mineral rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources
However, this Standard applies to property, plant and equipment used to develop or maintain the assets described in
(b) to (d).
Example 1
XYZ Ltd. manufactures mineral and herbal products. It owns several farms in which it grows plants, the produce from
which is used in the production. ABC Ltd. is manufacturer and supplies of processed milk and milk products. It owns
herds of cattle.
Discuss if Ind AS 16 is applicable to XYZ Ltd. and ABC Ltd. in this case.
Solution:
Biological assets is defined in Ind AS 41 as a living plant or animal.
Ind AS 16 does not apply to biological asset related to agricultural activity other than bearer plants.
Ind AS 16 thus applies to bearer plants.
According to Ind AS 16, a bearer plant is a living plant that
a) Is used in the production of supply of agricultural produce;
b) Is expected to bear produce for more than one period: and
c) Has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental scrap sale.
Hence, Ind AS 16 will be applicable to plant grown by XYZ Ltd.

IND AS 16 | Property, Plant And Equipment 16.2
Living animals are not included in the definition of bearer plants. Hence, Ind AS 16 is not applicable to the herd of a
cattle owned by ABC Ltd.
4. Definitions
a) Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognized after deducting any accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost xxx
Less : accumulated depreciation xxx
Less : Accumulated impairment loss xxx
b) Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire
an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset
when initially recognized in accordance with the specific requirements of other Ind ASs, e.g. Ind AS 2 Share-based
Payment.
c) Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
d) Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
e) 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 or expects to incur when settling a liability.
f) Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an
arm’s length transaction.
g) An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
h) Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:
i) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative
purposes; and
ii) are expected to be used during more than one period.
i) Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use.
j) The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of
the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition
expected at the end of its useful life.
k) Useful life is: The period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity; or the number of
production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by an entity.
5. Four Areas Addressed In This Standard

a) The amount at which the assets should be recorded initially on acquisition.
b) How value changes subsequent to acquisition should be reflected in the accounts for both value increases and
decreases.
c) Allocation of expense over future periods as depreciation charge.
d) Recording of the ultimate disposal of assets.
6. Recognition

6.1 Recognition Criteria

An entity can recognise the cost of an item of PPE as an asset only if it satisfies two conditions :
a) The entity expects future economic benefits from that item of PPE.
b) The cost of that item can be measured reliably.
Judgment has to be exercised by individual entities for determining whether individual items qualify as an item of PPE.
The aggregation criteria can be applied for insignificant items to capitalize as an asset.
6.2 Spare Parts, Stand By Equipment And Servicing Equipment

TYPES OF SPARES PARTS ACCOUNTING TREATMENTS
a) Major spares and stand by equipments which are To be recognised as property, plant and equipment
expected to be used for period over more than one and depreciated over their useful lives.
accounting periods.
b) Spares parts and servicing equipment which can be used To be recognised as property, plant and equipment
only in connection with a particular item of property, and depreciated over the periods not exceeding the
plant and equipment (i.e. non-inter changeable items) remaining useful life of the related asset.
i) Expensed on use
c) Other items of spare parts and servicing equipment
ii) Unused items from part of inventory.
Example 2
Comment on whether the following items purchased by an entity can be recognised as property, plant and
equipment:
a) Small spares for Rs 5,000.
b) Standby equipment expected to be used for 3 years
Solution:

Example 3
Chemical handling plant installed by a chemical manufacturer to comply with environmental requirements does not
directly result in future economic benefits. Should it be recognised as an Asset?
Solution:
Yes, it should be recognised as an asset because without that plant the entity is unable to manufacture and sell
chemicals.
7. Measurement At Recognition
7.1 Elements Of Cost

a) PPE is initially recognized at cost. Historical cost comprises of
i) The purchase price (cash price alone if terms are on deferred credit basis),
ii) Non-refundable taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates
iii) Cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the present location and condition and
Examples of directly attributable costs are
• costs of site preparation;
• costs of employee benefits (as defined in Ind AS 19, Employee Benefits) arising directly from the
construction or acquisition of the item of property, plant and equipment;
• initial delivery and handling costs;
• installation and assembly costs;

• 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 equipment);
• professional fees.
iv) Estimated cost of dismantling, restoration of the site on which it is located.
b) Examples of costs that are not costs of an item of property, plant and equipment are
i) costs of opening a new facility;
ii) costs of introducing a new product or service (including costs of advertising and promotional activities);
iii) costs of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customer (including costs of staff
training); and
iv) administration and other general overhead costs
c) Cessation of capitalization: Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and
equipment ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management. Therefore, costs incurred in using or
redeploying an item are not included in the carrying amount of that item.
Following costs are not included in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment:
i) costs incurred while an item capable of operating in the manner intended by management has yet to be
brought into use or is operated at less than full capacity;
ii) initial operating losses, such as those incurred while demand for the item’s output builds up; and

iii) costs of relocating or reorganising part or all of an entity’s operations

Example 5
On 1st April 2016, MNO Ltd. purchased a machinery for Rs. 5,60,000 including Rs. 30,000 refundable purchase taxes.
Trade discount received Rs. 2,300. The life of machinery is 10 years. MNO Ltd. borrowed Rs. 4,00,000 from local bank
for purchasing machinery. Loan rising fee was Rs. 7,000. Company incurred transportation cost Rs. 12,000 to bring
the machinery in the factory building.
Before bringing the machinery to the site, the land was used as parking space and the company earned Rs. 1,500 for
such incidental use. MNO Ltd. also incurred installation cost Rs. 70,000. Site preparation costs were Rs. 10,000.
Professional fees incurred for this purpose of Rs.12,500. At the end of the useful life of the machinery, MNO Ltd. is
required to dismantle machinery and restore the land on which factory is built. The present value of cost of
dismantling and restoring the site is estimated to be Rs. 80,000. Initial operating losses were Rs. 5,000.
Company spend Rs. 13,000 on the test run of the machinery and realised Rs. 2,000 from the sale of product
manufactured during test run. Some minor costs (Rs. 1,800) for repairs were incurred after the trial run.
Advertisement and marketing costs incurred for this new product Rs. 6,800.
At what cost should the machinery be recorded?

Solution:
According to Ind As 16, an item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset shall be
measured at its cost.
A) Purchase Price
Amount (Rs.)
Purchase Price (a) 5,60,000
(+) Import Duties (b) -
(-) Refundable Purchase Taxes (c) (30,000)
(-) Trade Discount/ Rebates (d) (2,300)
Hence, Purchase Price (e)= (a – b + c - d) 5,27,700
B) Cost Directly Attributable
Amount ( Rs.)
Cost necessary to bring asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be (f) 12,000
capable of operating in the manner intended by the management
Cost of employee benefits directly from the construction or acquisition for the item (g) -
of PPE (Ind As 19)
Cost of site preparation (h) 10,000
Initial delivery and handling costs (i) -
Installation and assembly costs (j) 70,000
Cost of testing (net of any sale of test product) (k) 11,000
(Rs.13,000 -
Rs.2,000)
Professional fees (l) 12,500
Hence, Total cost directly attributable (m)= (f + g + h 1,15,500
+ l + j + k + l)
C) Initial Estimate of Cost of Dismantling & removing item and restoring the site = Rs. 80,000
Items that are not PPE Amount (Rs.)
Costs of opening a new facility -
Cost of introducing a new product or service – Advertisement/ Promotional Costs 6,800
Cost of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customer - Cost of Staffing -
Administration and other general overhead costs -
Incidental Operations Amount (Rs.)

Income and Expense related to Incidental Operation (for e.g. Barren land used temporarily for car 1,500
parking) – Such Income/ Expense shall be accounted in Profit or Loss Account
Initial operating Losses
Initial operating losses, such as those incurred while demand for the item’s output builds up are not included in the
carrying amount of an item of PPE. Hence, operating losses of Rs. 5,000 will not be included in the carrying amount of
the machinery.
Minor repairing cost after trial run
Recognition of costs in the carrying amount ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

As the machinery was in a location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by
management, such costs will not be recognised in the carrying amount of the machinery. Hence, Rs. 1,800 shall be
accounted in Profit or Loss Account.
Loan raising fees
The borrowing costs that are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
those borrowing costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made.
Hence Loan raising fees Rs. 7,000 and interest on loan are borrowing costs.
Borrowing cost on the qualifying asset can be capitalised. (by debiting asset account.)
A qualifying asset is defined in Ind AS 23 as an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use or sale. Ind AS 23 does not define substantial period of time. Management should exercise judgment
to decide whether a particular asset is qualifying asset or not. In this case as the machinery is purchased and put to use
within a month, the machinery is not a qualifying asset and hence loan raising fees of Rs. 7,000 cannot be included in
the cost of the machinery.
Thus, the machinery should be recorded at cost ; and the cost of machinery is:
Cost of machinery Amount (Rs.)
A. Purchase Price 5,27,700
B. Cost directly attributable 1,15,500
C. Initial estimates dismantling and removing items and restoring the sites 80,000
Total 7,23,200
d) Cost of Self Constructed Assets: In case of self-constructed assets, all the costs directly attributable to
the specific asset and allocated costs are to be included. The internal profit included in cost is to
be eliminated.
Example 6
An X department transfer’s material to the Y department at a profit of 15%, and Y uses the materials in
manufacturing products for sale. One such product is to be used by the company as a non-current asset. The average
transfer cost of the material received by Y from X per product is Rs 11,500 and the average other costs are Rs 3, 500
and total cost, Rs 15,000. What is the amount to be recognised as non-current asset?
Solution:
The amount to be recognised initially as an asset is:
Rs
Total cost of similar products sold:
Less: internal profits: 11,500 x 15/115
Amount to be recognised in non-current assets
Example 7
An entity constructs a building for its own use. It spends Rs 50m on materials (Rs 2m of which was lost in a fire) and
Rs 5m on wages and other direct expenses. For constructing the building, it uses borrowed funds of Rs 30m on which
it pays interest of Rs 3m, up to the date of completion of construction.What is the amount to be recognised as cost
of building?

Solution
The total cost is calculated as:

Rs
Cost of materials (excluding abnormal loss)
Wages and other direct costs
Interest
Total
e) If it is not possible to ascertain the FV, then Net Book Value of asset given up can also be treated as cost of
acquisition.
Consider the following chart
Possible situations 1 2 3 4
Fair value of asset 12.00 Not 12.00 Not measured at fair value

Cost is measured at: 12.00 10.00 12.00 8.00
7.2 Measurement Of Cost

a) Payment deferred beyond normal credit terms
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. If payment
difference between the cash price equivalent and the
is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the
total payment is recognised as interest over the period of credit unless such interest is capitalised
in accordance with Ind AS 23.
Example 8
On 1st April 20X1, an item of property is offered for sale at Rs. 10 million, with payment terms being three equal
installments of Rs. 33,33,333 over a two years period (payments are made on 1st April 20X1, 31st March 20X2 and
31st March 20X3).
The property developer is offering a discount of 5 percent (i.e. Rs 5 million) if payment is made in full at the time of
completion of sale. Implicit interest rate of 5.36 percent p.a.
Show how the property will be recorded in accordance of Ind AS 16.
Solution:
Ind AS 16 requires that the cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. Hence, the
purchaser that takes up the deferred payment terms will recognise the acquisition of the asset as follows:
On 1st April 20X1 INR INR
Property, Plant and Equipment Dr 95,00,000
To Cash 33,33,333
To Accounts Payable 61,66,667

(Initial recognition of property)

On 31st March 20X2
Interest Expense Dr 3,30,533
Accounts Payable Dr 30,02,800
To Cash 33,33,333
(Recognition of interest expense and payment of second installment)
On 31st March 20X3
Interest Expense Dr 1,69,467
Accounts Payable Dr 31,63,867
To Cash 33,33,334
(Recognition of interest expense and payment of final installment)
Example 9
Vidya Ltd purchased a plant for Rs 200 million. The seller granted rebate 0.5%. The gross price includes GST Rs 18
Million for which the buyer will get tax refund and non-refundable GST of Rs 10 million. It has also incurred Rs 15
million for transport, Rs 5 million for installation and 3 million for testing and professional fee. It has earned Rs 0.2
million from selling goods produced out of testing. The company borrowed Rs 100 million for financing new plant @
10%. The entire process of purchasae to make the operational took 15 months. The company earned Rs 0.1 million
from short-term parking of money borrowed pending payment to supplier and meeting all costs.
What should be initial cost of the plant ?
Solution:
Example 10

The purchase price of a machine is Rs 110,000. Other costs are as follows: freight Rs 2,000, import duty Rs 5,000,
installation expenses Rs1,000. These are all initial costs. What will be the cost of machinery?
Solution:
Example 11
The total price paid for machinery is Rs 110,000; this is the basic price of Rs 100,000 plus Value Added Tax (VAT) of
Rs 10,000. The entity gets a credit of VAT paid on the machinery, while calculating the tax payable on the 'finished
goods sold. Tax paid of Rs 10,000 while purchasing the machinery will be treated as refundable and hence not
included in the cost of machinery. What will be the cost of machinery?
Solution:
Example 12
The total cost of a large computerised machine is Rs 40,000. Butter Co do not have enough cash, so agree to pay for
it a year later, however they will pay Rs 45,000. Explain Treatment.
Solution:
Example 13
Rohan Ltd set up fire safety devices around its factory premises. The price paid for devices is Rs 110,000 (Rs 100,000
plus VAT of Rs. 10 000). The entity pets a credit of Rs 10,000 while calculating the tax payable on the finished goods
sold.
Additional costs are freight Rs 2,000, import duty Rs 5,000, installation expenses Rs1,000. The initial estimate of
dismantling and removing the item is Rs 3,000. After the machine was put to use, Rs 1,500 was spent for
maintenance. Calculate the initial cost of the asset as per IND AS 16?
Solution:

b) Cost of PPE in Exchange Transaction

If property, plant and equipment is acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset, it should be
recognised at its fair value unless:
i) the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or
ii) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable
If an asset is acquired in Or the value of And the value Is to be treated

exchange of an existing The fair value of the asset whichever is as the cost of
asset (non-monetary asset given up acquired is to more clearly the asset
consideration) be ascertained evident acquired.
Example 14
ABC Ltd. has acquired an item of PPE. What will be the cost of asset in the following situations?
1. ABC Ltd. gave up its machinery and acquired an office building from MNO Ltd. in an exchange transaction. The
transaction has commercial substance. The fair value of building acquired is Rs.20,00,000.
2. ABC Ltd. gave up its machineries and acquired an office building from MNO Ltd. in an exchange transaction. The
transaction has commercial substance. The fair value of building acquired is not available, but the fair value of
machinery given up is Rs. 15,00,000.
3. ABC Ltd. acquired a factory building under finance lease from MNO Ltd.
The company also needs guidance in the following matters:
Issue 1 : How to determine if an exchange transaction has a commercial substance?
Issue 2: When can we say that the fair value of asset is reliably measurable?
Solution:
No Case Solution
1 ABC Ltd. gave up its machinery and acquired an office building from Building will be measured at its fair value
MNO Ltd. in an exchange transaction. The transaction has i.e. Rs. 20,00,000
commercial substance. The fair value of building acquired is Rs.
20,00,000.
2 ABC Ltd. gave up its machinery and acquired an office building from Building will be measured at the fair value
MNO Ltd. in an exchange transaction. The transaction has of machinery (asset given up) Rs.
commercial substance. The fair value of building acquired is not 15,00,000
available, but the fair value of machinery given up is Rs. 15,00,000.
3 ABC Ltd. acquired a factory building under finance lease from MNO The cost of an item of PPE held by a lessee
Ltd. under a finance lease is determined in
accordance with Ind AS 17.
Issue 1: How to determine if an exchange transaction has a commercial substance?

An entity determines whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance by considering the extent to which
its future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the transaction.
An exchange transaction has commercial substance if:
a) The configuration (risk, timing and amount) of the cash flows of the asset received differs from that of asset
transferred; or
b) The entity-specific value of the portion of the entity’s operations affected by the transaction changes as a result of
the exchange; and

c) The difference in (a) or (b) is significant relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged.
For the purpose of determining whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the entity-specific value
of the portion of the entity’s operations affected by the transaction shall reflect post-tax cash flows. The result of these
analyses may be clear without an entity having to perform detailed calculations.
Issue 2: When can we say that the fair value of asset is reliably measurable?
The fair value of an asset is reliably measurable if:
a) The variability in the range of reasonable fair value measurements is not significant for that asset or
b) The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and used when measuring
fair value.
If an entity is able to measure reliably the fair value of either the asset received or the asset given up is used to measure
the cost of the asset received unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident.
Example 15
If one fixed asset is taken in exchange for another fixed asset say for Ex. Machine ‘A’ is taken in exchange for Motor
Car ‘B’, which has a book value of Rs. 1,50,000. Fair value of car given up is 1,70,000. Fair value of machine ‘A’ is Rs.
1,80,000. Fair value of Machine is more evidently known. Journalise.
Solution:
Machine ‘A’ a/c Dr. 1,80,000
To Motor car a/c 1,50,000
To P&L a/c 30,000
Example 16
If a machine is taken by issuing 1000 equity shares of Rs. 100 each. Then fair value of Machine or fair value of
securities given up whichever is more evidently (reliably) known will be considered say it is Rs. 1,50,000. Journalise.
Solution:
Machine a/c Dr. 1,50,000
To Equity share capital a/c 1,00,000
To Securities premium a/c 50,000
Example 17
X Ltd. purchased a machinery and 10,000 equity shares of the company has been issued as a consideration. Market
price of equity share of par value of Rs. 10 is Rs. 12.
Fair market value of machinery (checked from the price quotation as well as latest transaction price of the seller) is
Rs. 1,10,000.
Find out the value of the PPE to be recognised at initial recognition.
Solution:

Example 18
A piece of machinery is acquired in exchange for a plot of land. The fair value of the machinery is agreed at Rs
200,000 and the fair value of the plot at Rs 250,000 (its book value is Rs 225,000). The difference of Rs 50,000 is to
be settled by cash. What is the cost at which the machinery acquired will be recorded at?
Solution:
Example 19
Pluto Ltd owns land and building which are carried in its balance sheet at an aggregate carrying amount of Rs. 10
million. The fair value of such asset is Rs. 15 million. It exchanges the land and building for a private jet, which has
a fair value of Rs. 18 million, and pays additional Rs. 3 million in cash.
Show the necessary treatment as per Ind AS 16.
Solution:
Provided that the transaction has commercial substance, the entity should recognised the private jet at a cost of Rs. 18
million (its fair value) and should recognise a profit on disposal of the land and building of Rs. 5 million, calculated as
follow:
Rs in ‘000
Fair value of Asset acquired 18,000
Less: Carrying amount of land and building disposed (10,000)
Cash Paid (3,000)
Profit on exchange of assets 5,000
The required journal entry is therefore as follow:
Property, Plant and Equipment (Private Jet) 18,000
To Property, Plant and Equipment (Land and Building) 10,000
To Cash 3,000
To Profit on exchange of assets 5,000
8. Subsequent Costs

Subsequent costs are capitalised if the recognition criteria are met.

a) Repairs and Maintenance: An entity does not recognise in the carrying amount of an item of
property, plant and equipment the costs of the day-to-day servicing of the item. Rather, these costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Costs of day-to -day servicing are primarily the costs of labour and
consumables, and may include the cost of small parts.
Example 20
PQR Ltd. has a machinery, which needed some repairs during the year. The costs incurred are:
Labour Costs: Rs.10,000
Parts used during this process : Rs. 15,000
PQR Ltd. wishes to know the accounting treatment for such costs.
Solution:
As per Ind AS 16 repairs and maintenance costs subsequent to acquisition of assets are primarily the cost of labour and
consumables, and may include the cost of small parts.
The purpose of this expenditure is often described as for the ‘repairs and maintenance’ of the item of property, plant
and equipment.
Under the recognition principle, an entity does not recognize in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and
equipment the cost of the day to day servicing of the item. Rather, these costs are recognised in Profit or Loss Account
as incurred.
The labour costs (Rs. 10,000) and the cost of parts (Rs. 15,000) used here are costs for repairs. Therefore, PQR Ltd.
should account for the costs of repairs (Rs. 25,000) in Profit or Loss Account.
b) Replacement parts: Parts of some items of property, plant and equipment may require replacement at regular
intervals. An entity recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the
cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met.
Example 21
Sun Ltd has acquired a heavy road trailer at a cost of Rs. 100,000 (with no breakdown of component parts). The
estimated useful life is 10 years. At the end of the sixth year, the engine requires replacement, as further
maintenance is uneconomical due to the off-road time required. The remainder of the vehicle is perfectly road
worthy and is expected to last for the next four years. The cost of the new engine is Rs. 45,000. The discount rate
assumed is 5%.

Whether the cost of new engine can be recognised as the asset, and if so, what treatment should be followed?
Solution:
For recognition of an item as property, plant and equipment, the recognition condition needs to be satisfied:
(a) future economic benefits associated with the asset should flow to the entity and
(b) cost can be measured reliably.
The new engine will produce economic benefits to the Company and cost of the engine can be measured reliably.
Hence, the item should be recognised as the asset.
The cost of Rs. 45,000 of new engine will be added to the carrying amount.
The original invoice of the trailer did not specify the cost of the engine. Therefore, the cost of replacement Rs. 45,000
will be used as indicative price and discount to year 1, i.e., [45,000 x (1/1.05)6 ] = Rs. 33,580/-
Revised Cost = (100,000 - 33,580 + 45,000) = Rs. 111,420
Example 22
Vidya Ltd. has a factory, interior walls of which need replacement every 5 years to maintain the quality of the
product. Company spent Rs. 5,00,000 for such purpose in 2016. The accountant of the company opines that as such
expenditure does not increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of
performance, such expenditure cannot be capitalised.
Vidya Ltd. has asked your opinion as to whether such expenditure can be capitalised or not under Ind AS 16.
Solution:
The opinion of the accountant of the company is based on the treatment specific in AS 10.
However, Ind As 16 states that under the recognition principle, an entity recognises in the carrying amount of an item
of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing plant of such an item when that cost is incurred if the recognition
criteria are met.
Hence, initial as well as subsequent costs should be recognised as an item of PPE if:
a) It is probable that, future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the entity and
b) Cost of an item can be measure reliably.
In this given case, such replacement will produce economic benefits to the entity and the cost is measurable. Hence,
replacement of interior walls will be recognised as an item of PPE as per Ind As 16.
c) Major inspections or overhauls: A condition of continuing to operate an item of property, plant and equipment
may be performing regular major inspections for faults regardless of whether parts of the item are replaced. When
cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the item of
each major inspection is performed, its
property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Any
remaining carrying amount of the cost of the previous inspection is derecognised.
Example 23
A shipping company is required by law to bring all ships into dry dock every five years for a major inspection and
overhaul. Overhaul expenditure might at first sight seem to be a repair to the ships but it is actually a cost incurred
in getting the ship back into a seaworthy condition. As such the costs must be capitalised.
A ship which cost Rs. 20 million with a 20 year life must have major overhaul every five years.
The estimated cost of the overhaul at the five-year point is Rs. 5 million.
The depreciation charge for the first five years of the assets life will be as follows:

Overhaul component (Million) Ship (other than overhaul component)(Million)

Cost 5 15
Years 5 20
Depreciation per Year 1 0.75
Total accumulated depreciation for the first five years will be Rs. 8.75, and the carrying amount of the ship at the
end of year 5 will be Rs. 11.25 million.
The actual overhaul costs incurred at the end of year 5 are Rs. 6 million. This amount will now be capitalized into
the costs of the ship, to give a carrying amount of Rs.17.25 million.
The depreciation charge for years 6 to 10 will be as follows:
Overhaul component Ship (other than overhaul component)
(Million) (Million)
Cost 6 11.25
Years 5 15
Depreciation per Year 1.2 0.75
Annual depreciation for years 6 to 10 will now be Rs. 1.95 million. This process will be continued for years 11 to 15
and years 16 to 20. By the end of year 20, the capital cost of 20 million will have been depreciated plus the actual
overhaul costs incurred at years 5, 10 and 15.
Measurement After Recognition

Measurement after initial recognition shall be done by the entity either by adopting
• ‘cost model’ or
• ‘revaluation model’
for a particular class of PPE.
However, an entity can choose to apply ‘cost model’ for a class of PPE and ‘revaluation model’ for another class of
asset.
Examples of a class of PPE would be land, buildings, machinery, vehicles, office equipments, ships, aircrafts, furniture
and fixtures, bearer plants etc.
8.1 Cost Model

Under ‘cost model’ an item of PPE is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses if any.
Historical Cost – Any Accumulated Depreciation – Any Accumulated Impairment Losses

8.2 Revaluation Model

a) Under ‘revaluation model’ an item of PPE is carried at revalued amount.
b) If an item of PPE is measured subsequently by adopting ‘revaluation model’, entire class of such asset should be
measured by adopting ‘revaluation model’.
Reason: To avoid selective revaluation and to avoid the reporting of amounts in financial statements that are a
mixture of costs and values as at different dates
Example 24
Venus Ltd. is a large manufacturing group. It owns a considerable number of industrial buildings, such as factories
and warehouses, and office buildings in several capital cities. The industrial buildings are located in industrial zones
whereas the office buildings are in central business districts of the cities. Venus’s Ltd. management want to apply
the Ind AS 16 revaluation model to the subsequent measurement of the office buildings but continue to apply the
historical cost model to the industrial buildings. Is this acceptable under Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment?
Solution:
Venus's Ltd. management can apply the revaluation model to just the office buildings.
The office buildings can be clearly distinguished from the industrial buildings in terms of their function, their nature and
their general location.
Ind AS 16 permits assets to be revalued on a class-by-class basis.
The different characteristics of the buildings enable them to be classified as different PPE classes. The different
measurement models can therefore be applied to these classes for subsequent measurement. All properties within the
class of office buildings must therefore be carried at revalued amount. Separate disclosure of the two classes must be
given in accordance with Ind AS 16.
c) Only those items of plant and equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued
amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and
subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Particulars Rs
Fair Value at the date of revaluation
Less : Any subsequent Accumulated Depreciation
Less : Any subsequent Accumulated Impairment Losses
Carrying Amount
d) Revaluation date need not necessarily be reporting date.
e) Revaluation should be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that there is no material deviation from the fair
value that would have been at the end of reporting period.
f) The revalued amount should not exceed the net recoverable value of the asset.

8.3 Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of the items of PPE is determined in the following order based on the
availability of the information:
a) Market value determined by appraisal- where market-based evidence of fair value is available
b) Estimated cash flow method
c) Depreciated replacement cost approach-where no market- based evidence of fair value is available
8.4 Accounting Treatment Of Revaluation

a) Technique 1: Gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the
carrying amount of the asset.
i) Gross carrying amount may be restated proportionately to the change in the carrying amount

ii) Accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is Adjusted to equal the difference between the gross
carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment
losses

Jupiter Ltd. has an item of plant with an initial cost of Rs. 100,000. At the date of revaluation accumulated
depreciation amounted to Rs. 55,000. The fair value of asset, by reference to transactions in similar assets, is
assessed to be Rs. 65,000.

The net result is that the asset has a carrying amount of Rs. 65,000 (100,000 – 55,000 + 20,000)
Method 2
Carrying amount (100,000 – 55,000) = 45,000

Fair value (revalued amount) = 65,000

To Accumulated Depreciation (55,000 x 44.44%) 24,444
To Surplus on Revaluation 20,000
8.5 Revaluation For The First Time

If an entity does revaluation for the first time and there is an increase in carrying amount of
an item of PPE as a result of such revaluation, it should be recognized in the other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. In case of downward revaluation for
first time by entity, the loss should be recognized in the profit or loss.
8.6 Subsequent Revaluation

In case of any subsequent revaluation, the treatment is as follows:
a) If there is a revaluation surplus, it should be recognized in other comprehensive income if the previous
revaluation has also resulted in a surplus. If prior revaluation has resulted in a loss, the revaluation surplus should
be recognized to profit or loss to the extent of previous loss and the balance in other comprehensive income.
b) If there is revaluation loss, it should be recognized in the other comprehensive income to the extent of previous
revaluation surplus. The balance should be recognized in the profit or loss.
The revaluation surplus in the other comprehensive income should be transferred to retained earnings (recycled within
equity) when the asset is derecognized.

8.7 Transfers From Revaluation Surplus

The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment may be transferred
to the retained earnings when the asset is derecognised.
This may involve transferring the whole of the surplus when the asset is retired or disposed of.
However, some of the surplus may be transferred as the asset is used by an entity. In such a case, the amount
of
the surplus transferred would be the difference between the depreciation based on the
revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on its original cost. Transfers
from revaluation surplus to the retained earnings are not made through profit or loss.
Example 28
An entity owns a building which originally costs Rs 2,00,000. The property is depreciated over 50 years on SLM basis
with no residual value. At the start of year 2, the building was revalued at Rs 2,30,000. Show treatment.
Solution:
Example 29
An item of PPE was purchased for Rs. 9,00,000 on 1 April 20X1. It is estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and is
depreciated on a straight line basis. On 1 April 20X3, the asset is revalued to Rs. 9,60,000. The useful life remains
unchanged at ten years.
Show the necessary treatment as per Ind AS 16.
Solution:
Calculation of Additional Depreciation: INR
Actual depreciation for 20X3-20X4 based on revalued amount 1,20,000
(9,60,000/8)
Depreciation for 20X4-20X5 based on historical cost (9,00,000/10) (90,000)
Additional Depreciation 30,000
In the profit or loss for 20X3-20X4, a depreciation expense of Rs, 1,20,000 will be charged. A reserve transfer, which will

be shown in the statement of changes in equity, may be undertaken as follows:

Revaluation surplus Dr 30,000
To Retained earnings 30,000
The closing balance on the revaluation surplus on 31 March 20X4 will therefore be as follows:
Balance arising on revaluation (9,60,000 – 7,20,000) = 2,40,000
Transfer to retained earnings = (30,000)
Closing Balance = 2,10,000
8.8 Depreciation
Depreciation has to be made on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Method of depreciation is selected
considering factors like
a) Type of asset,
b) Nature of use and
c) Other economic conditions to reflect the pattern of economic benefits.
8.9 Component Approach

a) Each significant component of PPE shall be depreciated separately.
b) More than one significant component of a PPE having similar useful life and Method of Depreciation can be
depreciated collectively.
c) Other parts which are insignificant shall be depreciated separately.
d) As a corollary, cost of replacing such parts is capitalised, if recognition criteria are met with consequent
derecognition of carrying amount of the replaced part.
Example 30
It may be appropriate to depreciate separately the airframe and engines of an aircraft, whether owned or subject
to a finance lease.
Example 31
X Ltd., a steel manufacturing industry commissioned a power plant at its steel plant at a cost of Rs 700/- crore

Calculate depreciation. Residual value may be assumed to be 5%.

Solution:
8.10 Change In Method Of Depreciation

Depreciation method is reviewed at least at each financial year. If there is change in consumption pattern of the
expected future economic benefits, depreciation method can be changed. Such a change in depreciation method is
regarded as change in accounting estimate and given effect prospectively as per Ind AS 8.
8.11 Important Principles Relating to Depreciation Charges

a) Depreciation charge begins when the asset is available for use i.e. when it is in the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
b) Depreciation charged separately for each significantly part of the asset.
c) Depreciation charged ends when the asset is classified as held for sale under Ind AS 105 or
derecognised.
d) Depreciation is charged even if the fair value of the asset is more than the depreciable
amount.
e) Repair and maintenance charge does not negate the requirement of depreciation charge.
f) If the residual amount of the asset exceeds the carrying amount there should be no depreciation charge.
Depreciation charge will resume when the residual amount becomes less than the carrying amount.
g) Three methods of depreciation are set out in Ind AS 16 – straight line method, reducing
balance method and production unit method.
h) Depreciation does not cease when the asset remain idle or retires from active use unless the
depreciable amount is zero.
Example 32

An asset which cost Rs. 10,000 was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and residual value Rs. 2,000. After two
years, useful life was revised to 4 remaining years.
Calculate the depreciation charge.
Solution:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Cost 10,000 10,000 10,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (800) (1,600) (3,200)
Carrying Amount 9,200 8,400 6,800
Charges for year 10,000 – 2,000 = 800 10,000 – 2,000 = 800 8,400 – 2,000 = 1,600
10 10 4
Example 33
An entity acquired an asset 3 years ago at a cost of Rs. 5 million. The depreciation method adopted for the asset was
10 percent reducing balance method.
At the end of Year 3, the entity estimates that the remaining useful life of the asset is 8 years and determines to
adopt straight –line method from that date so as to reflect the revised estimated pattern of recovery of economic
benefits.
Show the necessary treatment in accordance of Ind AS 16.
Solution:
Change in Depreciation Method shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance of Ind AS
8 and hence will have a prospective effect.
Depreciation Charges for year 1 to 11 will be as follows:

Year 1 Rs. 5,00,000/-
Year 2 Rs. 4,50,000/-
Year 3 Rs. 4,05,000/-
Year 4 to Year 11 Rs. 4,56,000 p.a
Example 34
PQR Ltd. owns a machinery and couple of its parts need replacement every 5 years. Cost of the parts is Rs. 8,00,000
and Rs. 11,00,000. Cost of another part is Rs. 10,00,000 which is required to be replaced after every 10 years. This is
significant in relation to the total cost of machinery which is Rs. 40,00,000.
PQR Ltd. wishes to know how to depreciate the machinery.
Solution:
According to Ind AS 16, each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation
to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
Hence, the parts of the machineries should be depreciated separately as their cost is significant in relation to the cost
of the machinery.
Ind AS 16 states that an entity allocated the amount initially recognised in respect of an item of PPE to its significant
parts and depreciates separately each such part. Hence the 3 parts, as mentioned in the case, shall be depreciated
separately.
A significant part of an item of PPE may have a useful life and a depreciation method that are the same as the
depreciation method of another significant part of that some item. Such parts may be grouped in determining the
depreciation charge. Thus, in the given case company can group the parts costing Rs. 8,00,000 and Rs. 11,00,000
together provided their depreciation method is also the same.
The other part costing Rs. 10,00,000 shall be depreciated separately.
The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognised in profit and loss unless it is included in the carrying amount
of another asset.
Ind AS 16 states that to the extent that an entity depreciates separately some parts of an item of PPE, it also depreciates
separately the remainder of the item. The remainder consists of the parts of the item which are individually not
significant. Hence the remainder of the machinery in the case shall be accounted for in accordance with this provision.
It further states that if the entity has varying expectations of these parts, approximation techniques may be necessary
to depreciate the remainder in a manner that faithfully represents the consumption pattern and / or useful life of the
parts.
According to Ind AS 16, an entity may choose to depreciate separately the parts of an item that do not have a cost that
is significant in relation to the total cost of item.
Example 35
XYZ Ltd. has divisions namely, cloth division and readymade garments division. 20% of the production of cloth
division is sold to readymade garments division and balance is sold to outside customers. XYZ Ltd. wants to know if
the depreciation of factory and machinery of Cloth division is part of cost of stock transferred to readymade
garments division.
Solution:
According to Ind AS 16, the depreciation charge for each period shall be recognised in profit or loss unless it is included
in the carrying amount of another asset.
Though the depreciation charge for the period is usually recognised in profit or loss, sometimes the future economic
benefits embodied in an asset are absorbed in producing other assets. In this case, the depreciation charge constitutes
part of the cost of the other asset and is included in its carrying amount.
In other words, if benefits embodied in an asset are absorbed in producing other assets, then the depreciation charge
constitutes part of the cost of other asset and included in its carrying amount.
Cloth is manufactured in cloth division and depreciation of factory and machinery of the cloth department is included
is included in the factory cost (as a part of allocated overheads) of such stock which is transferred to garments division.
Ind AS 16 also states that depreciation of an item of PPE used for development activities may be included in the cost of
an intangible asset recognised in accordance with Ind AS 38.
Example 36
PQR Ltd. bought a machinery as on 1st April 2013 for RS.50,00,000. The life of machinery is 5 years and residual value
is 3,00,000. The machinery is available for use from 1st April 2013. The company decides to follow straight line
method depreciation. The machinery is retired from active use from 31st August 2015 and it is classified as held for
sale as on 31st January 2016.
PQR Ltd. has following questions that are required to be addressed.
(i) Whether method of depreciate adopted is correct.
(ii) From which date is it mandatory to provide depreciation?
(iii) How frequently is it required to review the useful life of the asset and method of depreciation?
(iv) As on 31st March 2015, the company observed that the fair value of the machinery is more than its carrying
amount. Then, is it still required to provide depreciation?
Also, what will be the depreciation if the residual value of machinery exceeds its carrying amount?
(v) The accountant believes there is a no need to provide depreciation as the machinery is retired from the active
use 31st August onwards. Company wants to know if such treatment is correct.
Solution:
According to Ind AS 16, the depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual value. Hence,
depreciable amount of the machinery is Rs. 50,00,000- Rs. 3,00,000 = Rs. 47,00,000.
Issue (i) : Whether method of depreciation adopted is correct?
According to Ind AS 16, the depreciable amount of an asset shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life.
A variety of depreciation methods can be used to allocate the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis
over its useful life. These method include the straight line method, the diminishing balance method and the unit of
production method.
Depreciation method used shall reflect the pattern in which the future economic benefits from assets expected to be
consumed by the entity. Hence, if there is no other systematic basis available, the company can follow straight line
method of depreciation.
If the life of machinery is based on the number of units produced, then the ideal method to provide depreciation would
be on basis of number of units produce during the period under consideration.
Issue (ii) : From which date is it mandatory to provide depreciation?

According to Ind AS 16, depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. As the asset is available
for use from 1st April 2016 itself, the depreciation should be provided from that date.
Issue (iii) : How frequently is it required to review the useful life of the asset and method of depreciation?
The change in the method of depreciation is considered as change in the accounting policy under AS 10.
Whereas Ind AS 16 states that the residual value and the useful life of asset shall be reviewed at least at each financial
year end and, if expectations differ from provision estimates, the changes shall be accounted for as a change in an
accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8, Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
According to Ind AS 16, the depreciation method applied to an asset shall be reviewed at least each financial year-end,
if there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied
in the asset, the method shall be changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such a change shall be accounted for as a
change in an accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8.
Issue (iv) : AS on 31st March 2015, the company observed that the fair value of the machinery is more than its carrying
amount. Then, is it still required to provide depreciation? Also, what will the depreciation if the residual value of
machinery exceeds its carrying amount?
According to Ind As 16, depreciation is recognised even if the fair value of asset exceeds its carrying amount, as long as
the residual value of the asset does not exceed its carrying amount. Hence, if the residual value of the machinery
exceeds the carrying amount as on, 31st March 2015, then the company is required to provide depreciation on the
machinery even if the fair value of the machinery exceeds the carrying amount on that date.
The residual value of an asset may increase to an amount equal to or greater than the carrying amount of an asset. If
it does, the depreciation charge is zero unless and until its residual value subsequently decreases to an amount below
the carrying amount of the asset.
Issue (v): The accountant believes there is no need to provide depreciation as the machinery is retired from the active
use 31st August onwards. Company wants to know if such treatment is correct
Depreciation begins when it is available for use i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation ceases at the earlier of:

i) date asset is classified a held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105
ii) date that asset is derecognised.
Depreciation does not cease when:
i) asset become idle or
ii) Retired from active use
unless the asset is fully depreciated.
However, under usage method of depreciation the depreciation charge can be zero while there is no production.
Hence, it is required to provide depreciation even though the machinery is retired from active use; as its not classified
as held for sale or derecognised. The depreciation will cease from 31st January 2016 (When the machinery is classified
as held for sale).
Example 37
XYZ Ltd. acquired factory building and the land on which it is constructed. How to account for these assets?
Solution:
According Ind AS 16, land and building are separate assets and are accounted for separately. Buildings have limited
useful life and are depreciable assets.
Land is considered to have unlimited useful life hence it is not depreciated.
An increase in value of land does not affect the determination of amount of depreciation of building.
8.12 Impairment
a) Identification of an impairment loss: To determine whether an item of property, plant and equipment is
impaired, an entity applies Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets. Ind AS 36 explains how an entity reviews the carrying
amount of its assets, how it determines the recoverable amount of an asset, and when it recognises, or reverses
the recognition of, an impairment loss.
b) Compensation for impairment:

i) Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were impaired, lost or given
up shall be included in profit or loss when the compensation becomes receivable.
Example 38
PQR Ltd. owns machinery which is damaged significantly in fire caused by short circuit. This incident happened in FY
2016-17. The machinery is insured against such accidents and reimbursement became receivable from insurance
company in FY 2016-17 itself. As the compensation is not yet received, the accountant is of the opinion that Company
cannot include such amount in Profit or Loss Account. PQR Ltd. wants to know the correct accounting treatment for
the same.
Solution:
According to Ind AS 16, compensation from third parties for items of PPE that were impaired, lost or given up shall be
included in profit or loss when the compensation becomes receivable.
As the compensation from insurance company has become receivable in FY 2016-17, it should be recognised in the
profit or loss account in FY 2016-17.
ii) Impairments or losses of items of property, plant and equipment, related claims for or payments of
compensation from third parties and any subsequent purchase or construction of replacement assets are
separate economic events and are accounted for separately as follows:
• impairments of items of property, plant and equipment are recognised in accordance with Ind AS 36;
• derecognition of items of property, plant and equipment retired or disposed of is determined in
accordance with this Standard;
• compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were impaired, lost or
given up is included in determining profit or loss when it becomes receivable; and
• the cost of items of property, plant and equipment restored, purchased or constructed as replacements is
determined in accordance with this Standard.
9. Derecognition
a) An item of PPE is derecognised when it is-

i) Disposed off or
ii) No further economic benefit is expected out of usage, i.e. abandoned or scrapped
b) Disposal of an asset can take place by sale, by donation or by entering into finance lease. When an asset is given
on finance lease, it is derecognises and a finance lease receivable is recognised in accordance with Ind AS 17.

c) The resultant gains or losses should be included in profit or loss (calculated as the difference between net disposal
proceeds, if any and the carrying amount of the asset).
Example 39 [Deferred receivable arising out of de-recognition of PPE]

WDV of an item of PPE is Rs. 10,00,000. The asset is sold for Rs. 12,00,000 during 2016. However, the buyer will pay
the sale proceeds after one year. The company shall de-recognise the asset and recognise receivables at discounted
value of Rs. 11,00,000. How should it be accounted for as per Ind AS 16?
Take one year borrowing rate of the buyer for discounting. Assume that it is 10%.
Solution:
As per Ind AS 16 receivables shall be discounted and interest element shall be segregated.
Ind AS Accounting on de-recognition in 2016 (Amount in Rs.)
Receivables A/C (12,00,000 / 1.10) Dr 10,90,909
To PPE A/C Cr. 10,00,000
To Profit on sale of PPE A/C Cr. 90,909
d) Scrapped Asset
i) When an asset is scrapped, it is removed from the PPE category and classified separately if
there is any realisable value.
ii) Scrapped asset is classified into current asset in accordance with Ind AS if the scrap sale is
expected to take place within 12 months from the reporting date. Otherwise it is classified
as non-current. Scrapped asset is measured at net realisable value which is entity-specific valuation.
iii) Scrapped or abandoned assets are distinguished from non-current assets held for sale as defined in Ind AS
105. Assets which are temporarily taken out of operation are not classified as asset abandoned.
11. Disclosures
a) In the Financial Statements
i) Gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation at the beginning and the end of the period in the Notes
to Accounts
ii) Measurement bases
iii) Depreciation method
iv) Depreciation rates or useful lives
v) Reconciliation of carrying amount at the beginning and at the end of the period — showing additions, held for
sale under Ind AS 105, acquisitions through business combinations, revaluations, impairments, depreciations
and exchange differences
vi) Existence of restrictions for assets pledged as security
vii) Assets under construction
viii) Contractual commitments to procure assets
b) For revalued items: Effective date of revaluation, whether independent valuer was involved, methods and
assumptions used, corresponding carrying amount if cost model had been followed, revaluation surplus.
12. Changes In Existing Decommissioning, Restoration And Similar Liabilities

a) An entity is required to include in the cost of items of Property, Plant and Equipment initial estimate of costs of
dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. This initial estimate is
correspondingly recognized as liability in accordance with Ind AS 37. Initial measurement thus is as per the
provisions of Ind AS 37.
b) Accounting for subsequent changes in the measurement of the estimate is dealt with by this interpretation. Such
estimates are referred to as existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities in this interpretation.
c) Such changes in measurement of existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities may be due to the
following:
i) A change in estimated outflow of resources embodying economic benefits.
ii) A change in current market based discount rate.
iii) An increase that reflects the passage of time.
d) Accounting for the first two cases are based on the model adopted by the entity for subsequent measurement of
the related assets. The change that reflects passage of time is recognized in the profit or loss as finance cost.
e) If the related asset is measured using cost model

i) Any decrease in the liability is reduced from the carrying amount of the asset. If the decrease in the liability
exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized in profit and loss.
ii) In case of increase in the liability, the carrying amount of asset is increased and simultaneously the asset must
be subject toimpairment test if there is an indication that the new carrying amount may not be recoverable.
f) If the related asset is measured using revaluation model
i) Any decrease in the liability is first compared with the carrying amount had the entity followed cost model.
• A decrease in liability that exceeds the notional carrying amount of the asset, such excess is taken to profit
or loss. Balance is adjusted against revaluation surplus.
• If the decrease in liability is less than the notional carrying amount then it is fully adjusted against the
revaluation surplus.
• If there had been a revaluation deficit earlier then the adjustment is to profit or loss
ii) Any increase in liability is adjusted first against revaluation surplus if any in respect of that asset and the
balance shall be recognized in profit and loss.
g) Disclosures
Change in revaluation arising from change in liability should be separately identified and disclosed.

7. How to account for changes in liability once the asset has reached the end of its useful life?
8. Company wishes to know the accounting treatment for the same
Solution:
1. PQR Ltd. has a liability of dismantling and removing an asset and restoring the site. Experts estimate such cost
to be Rs. 7,00,00 at the end of the sixth year
Appendix A to Ind AS 16 deals with the obligations to dismantle, remove and restore the items of PPE. Such obligations
are referred to as decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities.
Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities are measured in accordance with Ind AS 37: Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Such obligations can be incurred either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during
the particular period for the purposes other than to produce inventories during the period. Under Ind AS 16 initial
estimate of costs dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located is included in the cost
of an item of PPE.
2. Present Value of future obligation Rs. 3,95,132 (@ 10%) as on 1 st April 2016

7. How to account for a changes in liability once that asset has reached the end of its useful life?
According to Appendix A to Ind AS 16, once the asset has reached the end of its useful life, all subsequent changes in
the liability related to such asset shall be recognised in profit or loss as they occur. This applies under both cost model
and revaluation model.
13. Major Changes In Ind AS 16 Vis-À-Vis IAS 16 Not Resulting In Carve Outs
a) Reduction in the Carrying Amount of PPE: Paragraph 28 has been shown as deleted since Ind AS
20 “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance”does not permit
the option of reducing the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment by the
amount of government grant received in respect of such an item, as permitted in IAS 20.
b) Fair Value Model: Paragraph 5 of Ind AS 16 has been modified, since Ind AS 40, Investment Property’, prohibits
the use of fair value model.

Problem 1
Discuss the following as an element of cost of a fixed asset :
a) General Administration expenses.
b) Wages payable for the erection of a machinery.
c) Conveyance expenses paid for the purchase of plant.
d) Interest paid on loan taken to purchase the asset.
e) Cost of design of machinery.
f) Interest payable on a Hire Purchase agreement.
g) Penalty payable to a supplier of machine for delayed payment.
h) Overheads of the company.
i) Non technical staff’s salary during the installation period.
Answer:
a) General administrative expenses are normally not capitalised unless the cost is incurred to bring the asset to its
present location and working condition.
b) It should be capitalised being a direct cost.
c) It should be capitalised.
d) If interest relates to qualifying assets as per AS-16, then interest can be capitalised.
e) Cost of design of machine should be capitalised being a direct cost.
f) If it relates to a qualifying asset interest can be capitalised.

g) Penalty should not be capitalised. It is not related to bringing the assets to its present locations and conditions.
h) Overheads are generally not capitalised.
i) Non-technical staff salary should not be capitalised being an item of general overhead.
Problem 2
The net written down value of an asset is Rs. 8,50,000 as on 1/1/03. During the year, 2003, the asset has been
discarded as it has been found to be of no use to the firm. The annual depreciation charge of this asset for the year
2003 is Rs. 1,30,000. However, on 31-12-03, the net realizable value of the discarded asset has been estimated to be
Rs. 3,50,000 only. Show the presentation of this asset in the financial statements for the year 2003.
Answer:
The asset has been discarded during the year. So the depreciation for the year 2002-03 need not be provided for. The
W.D.V of the asset is Rs. 8,50,000 and the N.R.V is Rs. 3,50,000. Therefore loss of Rs. 5,00,000 will be recognised in the
profit and loss account. The asset will be shown in the balance sheet at Rs. 3,50,000. The details of the fact should be
disclosed in the notes to accounts.
Problem 3
The carrying amount of an asset is Rs. 5,60,000 and its net realizable value is Rs. 420,000. It has been replaced by a
new machine for which an amount of Rs. 2,30,000 has been paid besides handing over the old asset in an exchange
offer. The market price of the new asset is Rs. 7,15,000. Find out the amount at which the new asset be shown in the
balance sheet, and the amount to be charged to the Profit & Loss A/c.
Answer:
The new asset F.V should be taken at its market price i.e. Rs. 7,15,000/-
Out of Rs. 7,15,000; Rs. 2,30,000 has been paid in cash. It means the old asset has been exchanged for Rs. (7,15,000 –
2,30,000) i.e. 4,85,000
The book value of old asset is Rs. 5,60,000
Therefore Loss of Rs. 75,000/- (5,60,000 – 4,85,000) should be recognised in the profit and loss account for the year.
Problem 4
In a major fire, a portion of the factory was destroyed. The cost of the damaged portion and the written down value,
both can be determined and are identifiable. The damaged portion was reconstructed at a cost higher than the WDV
of the damaged portion. What should be the accounting treatment of related figures in the financial statements of
the firm, given that after repairs, the performance of the factory will improve.
Answer:
As the standard of the performance of the factory is expected to improve after the reconstruction of the damaged
portion the cost of reconstruction should be capitalised.
However, the W.D.V of the damaged portion should be determined and charged to profit and loss account. A detail
explanation should be given in the notes to account regarding the damage and reconstruction.
Problem 5
A company obtained term loan during the year ended 31st March, 2002 to the extent of Rs. 650 lakhs for modernisation
and development of its factory. Building worth Rs. 120 lakhs were completed and Plant and Machinery worth Rs. 350
lakhs were installed by 31st March, 2002. A sum of Rs. 70 lakhs has been advanced for assets, the installation of which
is expected in the following year. Rs. 110 lakhs has been utilised for Working Capital requirements. Interest paid on

the loan of Rs. 650 lakhs during the year 2001-2002 amounted to Rs. 58.50 lakhs. How should the interest amount be
treated in the Accounts of the Company?
Answer:
Interest on borrowed funds should be treated in the following manner :
Nature of interest Treatment
i. Interest attributable to the contribution or Include in the gross book value of the asset to which it
acquisition of fixed assets for the period upto the relates
completion of construction or acquisition of fixed
assets.
ii. Interest attributable to money spent on the Charge as an expense in the profits and loss account

The Board of Directors of Fair Brother Ltd. seek your advice in the finalisation of financial statements for the year
ended 30-6-19. On a review of financial statements, it is noticed that the company has written up its fixed assets by
Rs. 50 lakhs and the accumulated depreciation of Rs. 10 lakhs transferred to profit and loss account.
Answer:
The transfer of accumulated depreciation of Rs. 10 lakhs to profit and loss account, in the present case, is not in
consonance with IND AS 16. The Standard prescribes the following two alternative methods of' presentation of
revalued amounts of fixed assets in the financial statements:
i. Restating both the gross book value and accumulated depreciation to give a net book value equal to the net
revalued amount, or
ii. Restating the net book value by adding these in the net increase on account of revaluation.
Hence, in view of the above, the treatment adopted by Fair Brother Ltd. is not correct.
Problem 7
PQR Ltd. Has purchased a machinery for Rs. 20,00,000. The price was agreed to be paid in 3 months. On due date,
due to liquidity crunch, the company was unable to pay the amount on time. The supplier however, agreed to take
allotment 10,000 fully-paid equity shares @ Rs. 10 of the company in fully and final settlement. The shares are listed
and the day of allotment was Rs. 300 as per share. What should be the amount at which the Machinery should be
recorded?
Answer:

This cannot be considered as acquisition of a fixed asset for a non-monetary consideration. It was held in Spargo’s case
that this is an allotment of securities for cash. If shares are allotted in settlement of a due or overdue debt, they are
treated as allotted for cash.
The transaction must be treated as if the amount of Rs. 20,00,000 was paid on or due date to supplier and he paid
back the amount of Rs. 20,00,000 and obtain allotment of shares. This is the substance of the transaction. In view of
this, the machinery must be continued to be reflected at Rs. 20,00,000 and no adjustment to be made to its cost.

Comment and give your views on the following – A company has made additions to its factory buildings by its own
workmen, at a cost of Rs. 4,50,000 for wages and materials. The lowest estimate from an outside contractor to carry
out the same work was for Rs. 6,00,000. The directors contend that as they were fully entitled to employ an outside
contractor, it is reasonable to debit the factory building account with Rs. 6,00,000.
Answer:
The contentions of the directors is not acceptable in view of IND AS-16. Cost means what it actually cost the company
and not what it would cost to the company, had it acted alternatively. Internal / notional profit margins are not allowed
to be added.

payment. Rs. 3,00,000 together with interest will be payable next year. The amount of depreciation provided for the
year is Rs. 33,000 i.e. 15% of Rs. 2,20,000. Comment.
Answer:
The CompanyRs.s policy of providing depreciation is not correct. It should provide depreciation on the total cost of the
asset excluding borrowing cost i.e. 15% x 5,00,000 i.e. Rs. 75,000. Interest for delayed payment should not be
considered for providing depreciation.
Problem 16
Y Ltd. has purchased a plant for Rs. 1,50,00,000. Its expected useful life is 10 years. Estimated scrap value is Rs.
10,00,000. The company charges depreciation based on straight line method. In the 4 th year life is revised to 8 year.
What accounting adjustment are required?
Answer:
In the 4th year, the useful life is revised to 8 years from 10 years. In this instance, the unamortized depreciable amount
[Rs. 1,50,00,000 – (Rs. 14,00,000 x 3) – Rs. 10,00,000] = Rs. 98,00,000 should be written off over 5 years. Each year Rs.
19,60,000 will be charged.
Problem 17
State briefly the duty of an auditor with regard to each of the following –
No depreciation has been charged for the year ended 31st March, 2020, in respect of a spare bus purchased during
the year and kept ready by the company for use as a stand-by on the ground that it was not used during the year.
Answer:
Depreciation is not due to use alone. It also takes place due to effluxion of time or obsolescence. Secondly, as per
generally accepted accounting principles depreciation is charged when asset is ready for use. In view of the above, the
auditor should qualify his audit report.
Problem 18
AS an auditor state your views on the following situations:
Y Ltd. Purchased an existing bottling unit. The method of charging depreciation on machinery of the acquired unit,
was different from that followed by the company in its other units. The company wants to continue to charge
depreciation for the acquired unit, in the method followed earlier by them and which was not consistent with their
own method.
Answer:
Yes, the company can continue to follow the previous method of charging depreciation for the acquired company,
even if it is not in agreement with the method followed by Y Ltd., for their other units.
Problem 19
State your views on the following :
The company has set up a factory on coastal land in view of the corrosive climate. The machine life was reducing faster
and, therefore, it wanted to charge a higher rate of depreciation.
Answer:
Yes, the Company can charge a higher rate of depreciation.
Such higher depreciation rates or the useful lies of the assets should be disclosed by way of notes to the accounts in
the financial statements.

Problem 20
The following note appeared in the financial statements for the year 2002-03 of TALCO ltd. Non depreciation has been
provided during the year on fixed asset pursuant to an upward revaluation of fixed assets carried out in the current
year.Rs. Comment.
Answer:
Treatment is not correct. The depreciation should to be provided on the revalued amount.
Problem 21
Cash profit of a organization will be effected by providing lower depreciation on fixed assets. State with reasons
whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer:
False: Providing higher or lower depreciation on Fixed Assets will not affect the cash profit because depreciation is a
non-cash expenditure.
Problem 22
In the Trial Balance of M/s. Aditya Ltd. as on 31-3-2012, balance of machinery appears Rs. 5,60,000. The company
follows rate of depreciation on machinery @ 10% p.a. on Written Down Value Method. On scrutiny it was found that a
machine appearing in the books on 1-4-2011 at Rs. 1,60,000 was disposed of on 30-9-2011 at Rs.1,35,000 in part
exchange of a new machine costing Rs. 1,50,000.
You are required to calculate:
(i) Total depreciation to be charged in the Profit and Loss Account.
(ii) Loss on exchange of machine.
(iii) Book value of machinery in the Balance Sheet as on 31.3.2012.
Answer:
(i) Total Depreciation to be charged in the Profit and Loss Account
Rs.
Depreciation on old machinery in use [10% of (5,60,000-1,60,000)] 40,000
 6 
Add: Depreciation on new machine @ 10% for six months  1,50,000 x 10% x  7,500

Problem 23
Entity A, a supermarket chain, is renovating one of its major stores. The store will have more available space for in store
promotion outlets after the renovation and will include a restaurant. Management is preparing the budgets for the
year after the store reopens, which include the cost of remodelling and the expectation of a 15% increase in sales
resulting from the store renovations, which will attract new customers.
Answer:
The expenditure in remodelling the store will create future economic benefits (in the form of 15% of increase in sales)
and the cost of remodelling can be measured reliably, therefore, it should be capitalised.
Problem 24
What happens if the cost of the previous part/inspection was/ was not identified in the transaction in which the item
was acquired or constructed?
Answer:
De-recognition of the carrying amount occurs regardless of whether the cost of the previous part/inspection was
identified in the transaction in which the item was acquired or constructed.
Problem 25
What will be your answer in the above question, if it is not practicable for an enterprise to determine the carrying
amount of the replaced part/inspection?
Answer:
It may use the cost of the replacement or the estimated cost of a future similar inspection as an indication of what the
cost of the replaced part/existing inspection component was when the item was acquired or constructed.
Problem 26
Entity A has an existing freehold factory property, which it intends to knock down and redevelop. During the
redevelopment period the company will move its production facilities to another (temporary) site. The following
incremental costs will be incurred:
1. Setup costs of Rs. 5,00,000 to install machinery in the new location.
2. Rent of Rs. 15,00,000
3. Removal costs of Rs. 3,00,000 to transport the machinery from the old location to the temporary location.
Can these costs be capitalised into the cost of the new building?
Answer:
Constructing or acquiring a new asset may result in incremental costs that would have been avoided if the asset had
not been constructed or acquired. These costs are not to be included in the cost of the asset if they are not directly
attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner

intended by management. The costs to be incurred by the company do not meet the requirement of IND AS 16 and
therefore, cannot be capitalised.
Problem 27
Entity A, which operates a major chain of supermarkets, has acquired a new store location. The new location requires
significant renovation expenditure. Management expects that the renovations will last for 3 months during which the
supermarket will be closed.
Management has prepared the budget for this period including expenditure related to construction and remodelling
costs, salaries of staff who will be preparing the store before its opening and related utilities costs. What will be the
treatment of such expenditures?
Answer:
Management should capitalise the costs of construction and remodelling the supermarket, because they are necessary
to bring the store to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
The supermarket cannot be opened without incurring the remodelling expenditure, and thus the expenditure should
be considered part of the asset.
However, the cost of salaries, utilities and storage of goods are operating expenditures that would be incurred if the
supermarket was open. These costs are not necessary to bring the store to the condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management and should be expensed.
Problem 28
An amusement park has a 'soft' opening to the public, to trial run its attractions. Tickets are sold at a 50% discount
during this period and the operating capacity is 80%. The official opening day of the amusement park is three months
later. Management claim that the soft opening is a trial run necessary for the amusement park to be in the condition
capable of operating in the intended manner. Accordingly, the net operating costs incurred should be capitalised.
Comment.
Answer:
The net operating costs should not be capitalised, but should be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Even though it is running at less than full operating capacity (in this case 80% of operating capacity), there is sufficient
evidence that the amusement park is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Therefore, these
costs are specific to the start-up and, therefore, should be expensed as incurred.
Problem 29
Entity A exchanges surplus land with a book value of Rs. 10,00,000 for cash of Rs. 20,00,000 and plant and machinery
valued at Rs. 25,00,000. What will be the measurement cost of the assets received?
Answer:
Since the transaction has commercial substance. The plant and machinery would be recorded at ` 25,00,000, which is
equivalent to the fair value of the land of Rs. 45,00,000 less the cash received of ` 20,00,000.
Problem 30
Entity A exchanges car X with a book value of Rs. 13,00,000 and a fair value of Rs. 13,25,000 for cash of Rs. 15,000 and
car Y which has a fair value of Rs. 13,10,000. The transaction lacks commercial substance as the company’s cash flows
are not expected to change as a result of the exchange. It is in the same position as it was before the transaction. What
will be the measurement cost of the assets received?
Answer:

The entity recognises the assets received at the book value of car X. Therefore, it recognises cash of ` 15,000 and car Y
as PPE with a carrying value of ` 12,85,000
Problem 31
Entity A is a large manufacturing group. It owns a number of industrial buildings, such as factories and warehouses and
office buildings in several capital cities. The industrial buildings are located in industrial zones, whereas the office
buildings are in central business districts of the cities. Entity A's management want to apply the revaluation model as
per IND AS 16 to the subsequent measurement of the office buildings but continue to apply the historical cost model to
the industrial buildings. State whether this is acceptable under IND AS 16 or not with reasons?
Answer:
Entity A's management can apply the revaluation model only to the office buildings. The office buildings can be clearly
distinguished from the industrial buildings in terms of their function, their nature and their general location. IND AS
16 permits assets to be revalued on a class by class basis. The different characteristics of the buildings enable them to
be classified as different PPE classes. The different measurement models can, therefore, be applied to these classes
for subsequent measurement. All properties within the class of office buildings must, therefore, be carried at revalued
amount
Problem 32
Entity A has a policy of not providing for depreciation on PPE capitalised in the year until the following year, but provides
for a full year's depreciation in the year of disposal of an asset. Is this acceptable?
Answer:
The depreciable amount of a tangible fixed asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The
depreciation method should reflect the pattern in which the asset's future economic benefits are expected to be
consumed by the entity. Useful life means the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use by the
entity. Depreciation should commence as soon as the asset is acquired and is available for use.
Problem 33
Entity A purchased an asset on 1st January 2013 for Rs. 1,00,000 and the asset had an estimated useful life of 10 years
and a residual value of nil.
On 1st January 2017, the directors review the estimated life and decide that the asset will probably be useful for a
further 4 years.
Calculate the amount of depreciation for each year, if company charges depreciation on Straight Line basis.
Answer:
The entity has charged depreciation using the straight-line method at Rs. 10,000 per annum i.e (1,00,000/10 years).
On 1st January 2017, the asset's net book value is [1,00,000 – (10,000 x 4)] Rs. 60,000.
The remaining useful life is 4 years.
The company should amend the annual provision for depreciation to charge the unamortised cost over the revised
remaining life of four years.
Consequently, it should charge depreciation for the next 4 years at Rs. 15,000 per annum i.e. (60,000 / 4 years).
Problem 34
Entity B constructs a machine for its own use. Construction is completed on 1st November 2016 but the company does
not begin using the machine until 1st March 2017. Comment.
Answer:

The entity should begin charging depreciation from the date the machine is ready for use – that is, 1st November 2016.
The fact that the machine was not used for a period after it was ready to be used is not relevant in considering when
to begin charging depreciation.
Problem 35
A property costing Rs. 10,00,000 is bought in 2016. Its estimated total physical life is 50 years. However, the company
considers it likely that it will sell the property after 20 years. The estimated residual value in 20 years' time, based on
2016 prices, is: Case (a) Rs. 10,00,000 Case (b) Rs. 9,00,000. Calculate the amount of depreciation.
Answer:
Case (a) The company considers that the residual value, based on prices prevailing at the balance sheet date, will equal
the cost. There is, therefore, no depreciable amount and depreciation is correctly zero.
Case (b) The company considers that the residual value, based on prices prevailing at the balance sheet date, will be
Rs. 9,00,000 and the depreciable amount is, therefore, ` 1,00,000. Annual depreciation (on a straight line basis) will be
Rs. 5,000 [{10,00,000 – 9,00,000} ÷ 20].
Problem 36
Entity B manufactures industrial chemicals and uses blending machines in the production process. The output of the
blending machines is consistent from year to year and they can be used for different products. However, maintenance
costs increase from year to year and a new generation of machines with significant improvements over existing
machines is available every 5 years. Suggest the depreciation method to the management.
Answer:
Management should determine the depreciation method based on production output. The straight-line depreciation
method should be adopted, because the production output is consistent from year to year. Factors such as
maintenance costs or technical obsolescence should be considered in determining the blending machines’ useful life
Problem 37
Entity A carried plant and machinery in its books at Rs. 2,00,000. These were destroyed in a fire. The assets were insured
'New for old' and were replaced by the insurance company with new machines that cost Rs. 20,00,000. The machines
were acquired by the insurance company and the company did not receive the Rs. 20,00,000 as cash compensation.
State, how Entity A should account for the same?
Answer:
Entity A should account for a loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss on de-recognition of the carrying value of plant
and machinery in accordance with IND AS 16. Entity A should separately recognise a receivable and a gain in the income
statement resulting from the insurance proceeds once receipt is virtually certain. The receivable should be measured
at the fair value of assets that will be provided by the insurer.
Problem 38
MS Ltd. has acquired a heavy machinery at a cost of Rs. 1,00,00,000 (with no breakdown of the component parts) . The
estimated useful life is 10 years. At the end of the sixth year, one of the major components, the turbine requires
replacement, as further maintenance is uneconomical. The remainder of the machine is perfect and is expected to last
for the next four years. The cost of a new turbine is Rs. 45,00,000.
Can the cost of the new turbine be recognised as an asset, and, if so, what treatment should be used?
Answer:

The new turbine will produce economic benefits to MS Ltd., and the cost is measurable. Hence, the item should be
recognised as an asset. The original invoice for the machine did not specify the cost of the turbine; however, the cost
of the replacement — Rs. 45,00,000 — can be used as an indication (usually by discounting) of the likely cost, six years
previously.
If an appropriate discount rate is 5% per annum, Rs. 45,00,000 discounted back six years amounts to
Rs. 33,57,900 [Rs. 45,00,000/(1.05)6], i.e., the approximate cost of turbine before 6 years.
The current carrying amount of the turbine which is required to be replaced of Rs. 13,43,160 would be derecognised
from the books of account, (i.e., Original Cost Rs. 33,57,900 as reduced by accumulated depreciation for past 6 years
Rs. 20,14,740, assuming depreciation is charged on straight-line basis.)
The cost of the new turbine, Rs. 45,00,000 would be added to the cost of machine, resulting in a revision of carrying
amount of machine to Rs. 71,56,840. (i.e., Rs. 40,00,000* – Rs. 13,43,160 + Rs. 45,00,000).
*Original cost of machine Rs. 1,00,00,000 reduced by accumulated depreciation (till the end of 6 years) Rs. 60,00,000.
Problem 39
On April 1, 20X1, XYZ Ltd. acquired a machine under the following terms:
Rs.
List price of machine 80,00,000
Import duty 5,00,000
Delivery fees 1,00,000
Electrical installation costs 10,00,000
Pre-production testing 4,00,000
Purchase of a five-year maintenance contract with vendor 7,00,000
In addition to the above information XYZ Ltd. was granted a trade discount of 10% on the initial list price of the asset
and a settlement discount of 5%, if payment for the machine was received within one month of purchase. XYZ Ltd. paid
for the plant on April 20, 20X1. At what cost the asset will be recognised?
Answer:
In accordance with Ind AS 16, all costs required to bring an asset to its present location and condition for its intended
use should be capitalised. Therefore, the initial purchase price of the asset should be:
Rs.
List price 80,00,000
Less : Trade Discount (10%) (8,00,000)
72,00,000
Import duty 5,00,000
Delivery fees 1,00,000
Electrical installation costs 10,00,000
Pre-production testing 4,00,000
Total amount to be capitalised at April 1, 20X1 92.00,000
Maintenance contract is a separate contract to get service, therefore, the maintenance contract cost of Rs. 7,00,000
should be taken as a prepaid expense and charged to the profit or loss over a period of 5 years.
In addition the settlement discount received of Rs. 3,60,000 (Rs. 72,00,000 x 5%) is to be shown as other income in the
profit or loss.
Problem 40

The term of an operating lease allows a tenant, XYZ Ltd. to tailor the property to meet its specific needs by building an
additional internal wall, but on condition that the tenant returns the property at the end of the lease in its original
state. This will entail dismantling the internal wall. XYZ Ltd. incurs a cost of Rs. 25,00,000 on building the wall and
present value of estimated cost to dismantle the wall is Rs. 10,00,000. At what value should the leasehold improvements
be capitalised in the books of XYZ Ltd.
Answer:
The leasehold improvement is not only the cost of building the wall, but also the cost of restoring the property at the
end of the lease. As such both costs i.e., Rs. 35,00,000 are capitalised when the internal wall is built and will be
recognised in profit and loss over the useful life of the asset (generally the lease term) as a part of depreciation charge).
Problem 41
X Limited started construction on a building for its own use on April 1, 20X0. The following costs are incurred:
Rs.
Purchase price of land 30,00,000
Stamp duty & legal fee 2,00,000
Architect fee 2,00,000
Site preparation 50,000
Materials 10,00,000
Direct labour cost 4,00,000
General overheads 1,00,000
Other relevant information: Material costing Rs. 1,00,000 had been spoiled and therefore wasted and a further Rs.
1,50,000 was spent on account of faulty design work. As a result of these problems, work on the building was stopped
for two weeks during November 20X0 and it is estimated that Rs. 22,000 of the labour cost relate to that period. The
building was completed on January 1, 20X1 and brought in use April 1, 20X1. X Limited had taken a loan of Rs. 40,00,000
on April 1, 20X0 for construction of the building (which meets the definition of qualifying asset as per Ind AS 23). The
loan carried an interest rate of 8% per annum and is repayable on April 1, 20X2.
Calculate the cost of the building that will be included in tangible non-current asset as an addition?
Answer:
Only those costs which are directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use should
be included. Administration and general costs cannot be included. Abnormal cost also should be excluded. The cost of
spoilt materials and faulty designs are abnormal costs. The labour cost incurred during the stoppage is an abnormal
cost and should not to be included. The interest on loan should be capitalised from April 1, 20X0, and capitalisation of
interest on loan must cease when the asset is ready to use i.e., January 1, 20X1.
Amount to be included in Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) :
Rs.
Purchase price of land 30,00,000
Stamp duty & legal fee 2,00,000
Architect fee 2,00,000
Site preparation 50,000
Materials (10,00,000 – 2,50,000) 7,50,000
Direct labour cost (4,00,000 – 22,000) 3,78,000
General overheads Nil
Interest (40,00,000 x 8%) x 9/12 2,40,000
Total to be capitalized 48,18,000

Problem 42
XYZ Ltd. purchased an asset on January 1, 20X0, for Rs. 1,00,000 and the asset had an estimated useful life of ten years
and a residual value nil. The company has charged depreciation using the straight-line method at Rs. 10,000 per annum.
On January 1, 20X4, the management of XYZ Ltd. Reviews the estimated life and decides that the asset will probably
be useful for a further four years and, therefore, the total life is revised to eight years. How should the asset be
accounted for remaining years?
Answer:
Change in useful economic life of an asset is change in accounting estimate, which is to be applied prospectively, i.e.,
the depreciation charge will need to be recalculated. On January 1, 20X4, when the asset’s net book value is Rs. 60,000.
The company should amend the annual provision for depreciation to charge the unamortised cost (namely, Rs. 60,000)
over the revised remaining life of four years. Consequently, it should charge depreciation for the next four years at Rs.
15,000 per annum.
Problem 43
On 1 April 20X1, Sun ltd purchased some land for Rs. 10 million (including legal costs of Rs. 1 million) in order to
construct a new factory. Construction work commenced on 1 May 20X1. Sun ltd incurred the following costs in relation
with its construction:
– Preparation and levelling of the land – Rs. 3,00,000.
– Purchase of materials for the construction – Rs. 6·08 million in total.
– Employment costs of the construction workers – Rs. 2,00,000 per month.
– Overhead costs incurred directly on the construction of the factory – Rs. 1,00,000 per month.
– Ongoing overhead costs allocated to the construction project using the company’s normal overhead allocation
model – Rs. 50,000 per month.
– Income received during the temporary use of the factory premises as a car park during the construction period – Rs.
50,000.
– Costs of relocating employees to work at the new factory – Rs. 300,000.
– Costs of the opening ceremony on 31 January 20X1 – Rs. 150,000.
The factory was completed on 30 November 20X1 and production began on 1 February 20X2. The overall useful life of
the factory building was estimated at 40 years from the date of completion. However, it is estimated that the roof will
need to be replaced 20 years after the date of completion and that the cost of replacing the roof at current prices would
be 30% of the total cost of the building.
At the end of the 40 -year period, Sun ltd has a legally enforceable obligation to demolish the factory and restore the
site to its original condition. The directors estimate that the cost of demolition in 40 years’ time (based on prices
prevailing at that time) will be Rs. 20 million. An annual risk adjusted discount rate which is appropriate to this project
is 8%. The present value of Rs. 1 payable in 40 years’ time at an annual discount rate of 8% is 4·6 cents.
The construction of the factory was partly financed by a loan of Rs. 17·5 million taken out on 1 April 20X1. The loan was
at an annual rate of interest of 6%. During the period 1 April 20X1 to 31 August 20X1 (when the loan proceeds had been
fully utilised to finance the construction), Sun Ltd received investment income of Rs. 100,000 on the temporary
investment of the proceeds.
Required:
Compute the carrying amount of the factory in the Balance Sheet of Sun Ltd at 31 March 20X2. You should explain your
treatment of all the amounts referred to in this part in your answer.
Answer:
Computation of the cost of the factory

Demolition cost recognised as a 920 Where an obligation must recognise as
Provision part of the initial cost
Total 20,000
Computation of accumulated depreciation
Total depreciable amount 10,000 All of the net finance cost of 600 (700 –
100) has been allocated to the
depreciable amount. Also acceptable to
reduce by allocating a portion to the non-
depreciable land element principle
Depreciation must be in two parts:
Depreciation of roof component 50 10,000 x 30% x 1/20 x 4/12
Depreciation of remainder 58 10,000 x 70% x 1/40 x 4/12

Problem 44
XYZ Ltd. has acquired a heavy road transporter at a cost of Rs. 1,00,000 (with no breakdown of the component parts).
The estimated useful life is 10 years. At the end of the sixth year, the power train (one of its component) requires
replacement, as further maintenance is uneconomical due to the off-road time required. The remainder of the vehicle
is perfectly roadworthy and is expected to last for the next four years. The cost of a new power train is Rs. 45,000.
Can the cost of the new power train be recognized as an asset, and, if so, what treatment should be used?
Answer:

The new power train will produce economic benefits to XYZ Ltd., and the cost is measurable. Hence the item should
be recognized as an asset as per Ind AS 16 as the recognition criteria is satisfied.
The original invoice for the transporter did not specify the cost of the power train. However, its cost of the replacement
is Rs. 45,000 which can be used as an indication (usually by discounting factor) of the likely cost, six years previously.
If an appropriate discount rate is 5% per annum, Rs. 45,000 discounted back six years amounts to Rs. 33,570 (45,000
x 0.746), which would be written out of the asset records.
The cost of the new power train, Rs. 45,000, would be added to the asset record, resulting in a new asset cost of Rs.
1,11,430 (Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 33,570 + Rs. 45,000).
Problem 45
ABC Ltd. is installing a new plant at its production facility. It has incurred these costs:
Rs.
Cost of the plant (cost per supplier’s invoice plus taxes) 25,00,000
Initial delivery and handling costs 2,00,000
Cost of site preparation 6,00,000
Consultants used for advice on the acquisition of the plant 7,00,000
Interest charges paid to supplier of plant for deferred 2,00,000
credit
Estimated dismantling costs to be incurred after 7 years 3,00,000
Operating losses before commercial production 4,00,000
Please advise ABC Ltd. on the costs that can be capitalized in accordance with Ind AS 16.
Answer:
According to Ind AS 16, these costs can be capitalized:
Rs.
Cost of the plant 25,00,000
Initial delivery and handling costs 2,00,000
Cost of site preparation 6,00,000
Consultants’ fees 7,00,000
Estimated dismantling costs to be incurred after 7 years 3,00,000
43,00,000
Note: Interest charges paid on “Deferred credit terms” to the supplier of the plant (not a qualifying asset) of Rs.
2,00,000 and operating losses before commercial production amounting to Rs. 4,00,000 are not regarded as directly
attributable costs and thus cannot be capitalized. They should be written off to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period they are incurred.
Problem 46
A Ltd. has an item of plant with an initial cost of Rs. 1,00,000. At the date of revaluation, accumulated depreciation
amounted to Rs. 55,000. The fair value of the asset, by reference to transactions in similar assets, is assessed to be Rs.
65,000.
Pass Journal Entries with regard to Revaluation?
Answer:
The entries to be passed would be:
Accumulated depreciation Dr. 55,000

To Asset A/c 55,000

(Being elimination of accumulated depreciation against the cost of the asset)
Asset A/c Dr. 20,000

To Revaluation Surplus 20,000
(Being increase of net asset value to Fair value)
Note: The net result is that the asset has a carrying amount of Rs. 65,000 [1,00,000 – 55,000 + 20,000]
Problem 47
B Ltd. owns an asset with an original cost of Rs. 2,00,000. On acquisition, management determined that the useful life
was 10 years and the residual value would be Rs. 20,000. The asset is now 8 years old, and during this time there have
been no revisions to the assessed residual value.
At the end of year 8, management has reviewed the useful life and residual value and has determined that the useful
life can be extended to 12 years in view of the maintenance program adopted by the company. As a result, the residual
value will reduce to Rs. 10,000.
How would the above changes in estimates be made by B Ltd.?
Answer:
The above changes in estimates would be effected in the following manner:
The asset has a carrying amount of ` 56,000 at the end of year 8 [Rs. 2,00,000 – Rs. 1,44,000] i.e. Accumulated
Depreciation.
Accumulated depreciation is calculated as
Depreciable amount {Cost less residual value} = Rs. 2,00,000 – Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 1,80,000.
Annual depreciation = Depreciable amount / Useful life = 1,80,000 / 10 = Rs. 18,000.
Accumulated depreciation = 18,000 × No. of years (8) = Rs. 1,44,000.
Revision of the useful life to 12 years results in a remaining useful life of 4 years (12 – 8).
The revised depreciable amount is Rs. 46,000. (56,000 – 10,000)
Thus, depreciation should be charged in future at Rs. 11,500 per annum (Rs. 46,000/4 years)
Problem 48
X Ltd. has a machine which got damaged due to fire as on January 31, 20X1. The carrying amount of machine was Rs.
1,00,000 on that date. X Ltd. sold the damaged asset as scrap for Rs. 10,000. X Ltd. has insured the same asset against
damage. As on March 31, 20X1, the compensation proceeds was still in process but the insurance company has
confirmed the claim. Compensation of Rs. 50,000 is receivable from the insurance company. How X Ltd. will account
for the above transaction?
Answer:
Impairment or losses of items of property, plant and equipment and related claims for or payments of compensation
from third parties are separate economic events and should be accounted for separately.
X Ltd. should account for the above transaction as given below:
At the time of sale of scrap machine, X Ltd. should write off the carrying amount of asset from books of account and
provide a loss of Rs. 90,000. (i.e., carrying amount of Rs. 1,00,000 – realised amount of Rs. 10,000)
As on March 31, 20X1, X Ltd. should recognise income of Rs. 50,000 against the compensation receivable in its profit
or loss.
Problem 49

An entity has a nuclear power plant and a related decommissioning liability. The nuclear power plant started operating
on April 1, 2017. The plant has a useful life of 40 years. Its initial cost was Rs. 1,20,000 which included an amount for
decommissioning costs of Rs. 10,000, which represented Rs. 70,400 in estimated cash flows payable in 40 years
discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of 5 per cent. The entity’s financial year ends on March 31. On March, value of the
decommissioning liability has decreased by Rs. 8,000. The discount rate has not yet changed.
How the entity will account for the above changes in decommissioning liability if it adopts cost model?
Answer:
On March 31, 2027, the plant is 10 years old. Accumulated depreciation is Rs. 30,000 (Rs. 120,000 × 10/years). Because
of the unwinding of discount (5 per cent) over the 10 years, the decommissioning liability has increased from Rs. 10,000
to Rs. 16,300.
On March 31, 2027, the discount rate has not changed. However, the entity estimates that, as a result of technological
advances, the net present value of the decommissioning liability has decreased by Rs. 8,000. Accordingly, the entity
adjusts the decommissioning liability from Rs. 16,300 to Rs. 8,300. On this date, the entity makes the following journal
entry to reflect the change:
Decommissioning liability Dr. 8,000
To Cost of asset 8,000
Following this adjustment, the carrying amount of the asset is Rs. 82,000 (Rs. 1,20,000 – Rs. 8,000 – Rs. 30,000), which
will be depreciated over the remaining 30 years of the asset’s life giving a depreciation expense for the next year of
Rs. 2,733 (Rs. 82,000 ÷ 30). The next year’s finance cost for the unwinding of the discount will be Rs. 415 (Rs. 8,300 ×
5 per cent).
If the change in the liability had resulted from a change in the discount rate, instead of a change in the estimated cash
flows, the accounting for the change would have been the same but the next year’s finance cost would have reflected
the new discount rate.
Problem 50
An entity has a nuclear power plant and a related decommissioning liability. The nuclear power plant started operating
on April 1, 20X1. The plant has a useful life of 40 years. Its initial cost was Rs. 1,20,000; This included an amount for
decommissioning costs of Rs. 10,000, which represented Rs. 70,400 in estimated cash flows payable in 40 years
discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of 5 per cent. The entity’s financial year ends on March 31. Assume that a market-
based discounted cash flow valuation of Rs. 1,15,000 is obtained at March 31, 20X4. It includes an allowance of Rs.
11,600 for decommissioning costs, which represents no change to the original estimate, after the unwinding of three
years’ discount. On March 31, 20X5, the entity estimates that, as a result of technological advances, the present value
of the decommissioning liability has decreased by Rs. 5,000. The entity decides that a full valuation of the asset is
needed at March 31, 20X5, in order to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value. The
asset is now valued at Rs. 1,07,000, which is net of an allowance for the reduced decommissioning obligation.
How the entity will account for the above changes in decommissioning liability if it adopts revaluation model?
Answer:
At March 31, 20X4:
Rs.
Asset at valuation (1) 1,26,600
Accumulated depreciation Nil
Decommissioning liability (11,600)
Net assets 1,15,000
Retained earnings (2) (10,600)

Revaluation surplus (3) 15,600

Notes:
(1) Valuation obtained of Rs. 1,15,000 plus decommissioning costs of Rs. 11,600, allowed for in the valuation but
recognised as a separate liability = Rs. 1,26,600.
(2) Three years’ depreciation on original cost Rs. 1,20,000 × 3/40 = Rs. 9,000 plus cumulative discount on ` 10,000 at
5 per cent compound = Rs. 1,600; total Rs. 10,600.
(3) Revalued amount Rs. 1,26,600 less previous net book value of Rs. 1,11,000 (cost Rs. 120,000 less accumulated
depreciation Rs. 9,000).
The depreciation expense for 20X4 -20X5 is therefore Rs. 3,420 (Rs. 1,26,600 × 1/37) and the discount expense for
20X5 is Rs. 600. On March 31, 20X5, the decommissioning liability (before any adjustment) is Rs. 12,200. However, as
per estimate of the entity, the present value of the decommissioning liability has decreased by Rs. 5,000. Accordingly,
the entity adjusts the decommissioning liability from Rs. 12,200 to Rs. 7,200.
The whole of this adjustment is taken to revaluation surplus, because it does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been recognised had the asset been carried under the cost model. If it had done, the excess would have
been taken to profit or loss. The entity makes the following journal entry to reflect the change:
Decommissioning liability Dr. 5,000
To Revaluation surplus 5,000
As at March 31, 20X5, the entity revalued its asset at ` 1,07,000, which is net of an allowance of ` 7,200 for the reduced
decommissioning obligation that should be recognised as a separate liability. The valuation of the asset for financial
reporting purposes, before deducting this allowance, is therefore ` 1,14,200. The following additional journal entry is
needed:
Notes:
Accumulated depreciation (1) Dr. 3,420
To Asset at valuation 3,420
Revaluation surplus (2) Dr. 8,980

To Asset at valuation (3) 8,980
(1) Eliminating accumulated depreciation of Rs. 3,420 in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy.
(2) The debit is to revaluation surplus because the deficit arising on the revaluation does not exceed the credit balance
existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of the asset.
(3) Previous valuation (before allowance for decommissioning costs) Rs. 1,26,600, less cumulative depreciation Rs.
3,420, less new valuation (before allowance for decommissioning costs) Rs. 1,14,200.
Following this valuation, the amounts included in the balance sheet are:
Asset at valuation 1,14,200
Accumulated depreciation Nil
Decommissioning liability (7,200)
Net assets 1,07,000
Retained earnings (1) (14,620)
Revaluation surplus (2) 11,620
Notes:
(1) Rs. 10,600 at March 31, 20X4, plus depreciation expense of Rs. 3,420 and discount expense of Rs. 600 = Rs. 14,620.

(2) Rs. 15,600 at March 31, 20X4, plus Rs. 5,000 arising on the decrease in the liability, less Rs. 8,980 deficit on
revaluation = Rs. 11,620.
Problem 51
An asset was purchased for Rs. 1,00,000 on 1st January 20X5 and straight line of Rs. 20,000 per annum was charged
(five year life, no residual value). A general review of asset lives was undertaken and the remaining useful life of this
asset as at 1st January 20X7 was deemed to be eight years.
Required:
What is the annual depreciation charge for 20X7 and subsequent years?
Answer:
Carrying amount as at 1st January 20X7 (3/5 x Rs.1,00,000) = Rs.60,000
Remaining useful life as at 1 January 20X7 = 8 years
Annual depreciation charge (Rs.60,000/8 years) = Rs. 7,500
Problem 52
Cap Ltd. bought a building on 1st January 20X1. The purchase price was Rs.2.9 million associated legal fees were Rs.
0.1 million and general administrative costs allocated to the purchase were Rs.0.2 million. Cap Ltd. also paid sales tax
of Rs. 0.5 million, which was recovered from the tax authorities. The building was attributed a useful economic life of
50 years. It was revalued to Rs. 4.6 million on 31st December 20X4 and was sold for Rs.5 million on 31st December
20X5.
Cap Ltd. purchased a machine on 1st January 20X3 for Rs. 1,00,000 and attributed it with a useful life of 10 years. On
1st January 20X5, Cap Ltd. reduced the estimated remaining useful life to 4 years.
Required:
Explain how the above items of property, plant and equipment would have been accounted for in all relevant reporting
periods up until 31st December 20X5.
Answer:
The building would have been recognised on 1st January 20X1 at a cost of Rs. 3 million (Rs.2.9 million purchase price +
Rs. 0.1 million legal fees). Recoverable sales tax is excluded from the cost of property, plant and equipment. General
administrative costs of Rs. 0.2 million will have been expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation of Rs. 0.06 million (Rs.3 million /50 years) would have been charged to profit or loss in each of the years
ended 31st December 20X1, 20X2, 20X3 and 20X4.
Prior to the revaluation on 31st December 20X4, the carrying amount of the building was Rs. 2.76 million (46/50 x Rs.3
million). In the year ended, 31st December 20X4, a gain on revaluation of Rs.1.84 million (Rs.4.6 million – Rs.2.76
million) would have been recognised in other comprehensive income and held within equity.
In the year ended 31st December 20X5, the building would have been depreciated over its remaining useful life of 46
(50- 4) years. The depreciation charge in the year ended 31st December 20X5 would therefore have been Rs. 0.1 million
(Rs. 4.6 million /46) leaving a carrying amount at the disposal date of Rs. 4.5 million (Rs.4.6 million – Rs. 0.1 million).
On 31st December 20X5, a profit on disposal of Rs. 0.5 million (Rs. 5 million – Rs. 4.5 million) would be recorded in the
statement of profit or loss.
The revaluation gains previously recognised within OCI and held within equity are not reclassified to profit or loss on
the disposal of the asset. However, Cap Ltd. could do a transfer within equity as follows:
Other components of equity Dr Rs. 1.84 million
To Retained earnings Rs. 1.84 million

The machine would be recognised on 1st January 20X3 at Rs. 1,00,000 and depreciated over 10 years. Depreciation of
Rs.10,000 (Rs.1,00,000/10) will be charged in the years ended 31st December 20X3 and December 20X4.
On 1st January 20X5, Cap Ltd. changes its estimate of the machine’s useful economic life. This is a change in accounting
estimate and therefore dealt with prospectively. The carrying amount of the asset at the date of the estimate change
is Rs. 80,000 (8/10 x Rs. 1,00,000). This remaining carrying amount will be written off over the revised life of 4 years.
This means that the depreciation charge is Rs. 20,000 (Rs.80,000/4) in the year ended 31 December 20X5.
