All fixed assets except

to provide services,
This loss of productive
capacity is recognized as
depreciation expense.

The following four depreciation methods are
acceptable for Financial Accounting purposes:
1,Straight-Line
2,Units-of-Production
3,Declining-Balance
4,Sum-of-Years-Digits
Straight-line is far more widely used than other
methods,
Declining-balance and sum-of-years-digits are
known as accelerated depreciation methods.

When fixed assets lose their usefulness they
may be disposed of in one of the following ways:
1,discarded,
2,sold,or
3,traded (exchanged) for similar assets.
Required entries will vary with type of
disposition and circumstances,but the following
entries will always be necessary:
Asset account must be credited to remove the
asset from the ledger,and the related
Accumulated Depreciation account must be
debited to remove its balance from the ledger.

When fixed assets are sold,the owner may
break even,sustain a loss,or realize a gain.
1,If the sale price is equal to book value,
there will be no gain or loss.
2,If the sale price is less than book value,
there will be a loss equal to the difference.
3,If the sale price is more than book value,
there will be a gain equal to the difference.
Gain or loss will be reported in the income
statement as Other Income or Other Loss.

Exchanges of Similar Fixed Assets
Trade-in Allowance (TIA) – amount allowed
for old equipment toward the purchase price
of similar new assets.
Boot – balance owed on new equipment after
trade-in allowance has been deducted.
TIA > Book Value = Gain on Trade
TIA < Book Value = Loss on Trade
Gains are never recognized (not recorded).
Losses must be recognized (recorded).
C9 - 33
Case One (GAIN)
Trade-in allowance,$3,000
Cash paid,$12,000 ($15,000 – $3,000)
TIA > Book Value = Gain
$3,000 – $2,400 = $600
Boot + Book = Cost of New Equipment
$12,000 + $2,400 = $14,400
Gains are not
recognized for
financial reporting.
Exchanges of Similar Fixed Assets
Quoted price of new equipment acquired $15,000
Cost of old equipment traded in $12,500
Accum,depreciation at date of exchange 10,100
Book value at date of exchange $ 2,400

Exchanges of Similar Fixed Assets
Case Two (LOSS)
Trade-in allowance,$2,000
Cash paid,$13,000 ($15,000 – $2,000)
TIA < Book Value = Loss
$2,000 – $2,400 = $400
Cost of New Equipment =
Quoted Price of New Asset $15,000
Quoted price of new equipment acquired $15,000
Cost of old equipment traded in $12,500
Accum,depreciation at date of exchange 10,100
Book value at date of exchange $ 2,400
Losses are
recognized for
financial
reporting.

All leases are either capital leases or operating leases,
Capital leases include one or more of the following:
1,Lease transfers ownership to the lessee at the end of
the lease term.
2,An option for a bargain purchase by the lessee.
3,Lease term extends over most of the life of the asset.
4,Lease requires rental payments that approximate fair
market value of the asset.
Capital leases are accounted for as if the lessee has
purchased the asset,Lessee debits an asset account for
the fair market value and credits a long-term liability.
Operating leases are accounted for as rent expense.

Natural Resources and Depletion
Depletion Expense 36,000
Accumulated Depletion 36,000
($400,000 / 1,000,000 tons) = $0.40 per ton
90,000 tons x $0.40 = $36,000
Dec,31
Paid $400,000 for the mining rights to a
mineral deposit estimated at 1,000,000 tons of
ore,During the year,90,000 tons are mined.
Depletion is the periodic allocation of the cost of metal
ores and other minerals removed from the earth.

Intangible Assets and Amortization
Amortization Expense 20,000
Patents 20,000
11 years – 6 years = 5-year life
($100,000 / 5 years) = $20,000 per year
Dec,31
Paid $100,000 for patent rights,The patent life is 11
years and was issued 6 years prior to purchase.
Amortization is the periodic cost expiration of intangible
assets which do not have physical attributes and are
not held for sale (patents,copyrights,and goodwill).
