Objective of IAS 16
The objective of IAS 16 is to prescribe the accounting treatment for property, plant, and equipment. The principal issues are the recognition
of assets, the determination of their carrying amounts, and the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognized in relation to
them.
Scope
IAS 16 applies to the accounting for property, plant and equipment, except where another standard requires or permits differing accounting
treatments, for example:
assets classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations
biological assets related to agricultural activity accounted for under IAS 41 Agriculture
exploration and evaluation assets recognized in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
mineral rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources.
The standard does apply to property, plant, and equipment used to develop or maintain the last three categories of assets. [IAS 16.3]
The cost model in IAS 16 also applies to investment property accounted for using the cost model under IAS 40 Investment
Property. [IAS 16.5]
The standard does apply to bearer plants but it does not apply to the produce on bearer plants. [IAS 16.3]
Recognition
Items of property, plant, and equipment should be recognized as assets when it is probable that: [IAS 16.7]
it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity, and
the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
This recognition principle is applied to all property, plant, and equipment costs at the time they are incurred. These costs include costs
incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of,
or service it.
IAS 16 does not prescribe the unit of measure for recognition – what constitutes an item of property, plant, and equipment. [IAS 16.9]
Note, however, that if the cost model is used (see below) 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 must be depreciated separately. [IAS 16.43]
IAS 16 recognizes that parts of some items of property, plant, and equipment may require replacement at regular intervals. The carrying
amount of an item of property, plant, and equipment will include the cost of replacing the part of such an item when that cost is incurred
if the recognition criteria (future benefits and measurement reliability) are met. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is
derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16.67-72. [IAS 16.13]
Also, continued operation of an item of property, plant, and equipment (for example, an aircraft) may require regular major inspections for
faults regardless of whether parts of the item are replaced. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying
amount of the item of property, plant, and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. If necessary, the estimated
cost of a future similar inspection may be used as an indication of what the cost of the existing inspection component was when the item
was acquired or constructed. [IAS 16.14]

Initial measurement
An item of property, plant and equipment should initially be recorded at cost. [IAS 16.15] Cost includes all costs necessary to bring the
asset to working condition for its intended use. This would include not only its original purchase price but also costs of site preparation,
delivery and handling, installation, related professional fees for architects and engineers, and the estimated cost of dismantling and
removing the asset and restoring the site (see IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets). [IAS 16.16-17]
Proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it
to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management are not deducted from the cost of the item of property, plant and
equipment but recognized in profit or loss. [IAS 16.20A]
If payment for an item of property, plant, and equipment is deferred, interest at a market rate must be recognized or imputed. [IAS 16.23]
If an asset is acquired in exchange for another asset (whether similar or dissimilar in nature), the cost will be measured at the
fair value unless
the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance or
(b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable.
If the acquired item is not measured at fair value, its cost is measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up. [IAS 16.24]
Under the revaluation model, revaluations should be carried out regularly, so that the carrying amount of an asset does not differ materially
from its fair value at the balance sheet date. [IAS 16.31]
If an item is revalued, the entire class of assets to which that asset belongs should be revalued. [IAS 16.36] Revalued assets are
depreciated in the same way as under the cost model (see below).
If a revaluation results in an increase in value, it should be credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the
heading "revaluation surplus" unless it represents the reversal of a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized as an
expense, in which case it should be recognized in profit or loss. [IAS 16.39]
A decrease arising as a result of a revaluation should be recognized as an expense to the extent that it exceeds any amount previously
credited to the revaluation surplus relating to the same asset. [IAS 16.40]
When a revalued asset is disposed of, any revaluation surplus may be transferred directly to retained earnings, or it may be left in equity
under the heading revaluation surplus. The transfer to retained earnings should not be made through profit or loss. [IAS 16.41]
The depreciable amount (cost less residual value) should be allocated on a systematic basis over the asset's useful life [IAS 16.50].
The residual value and the useful life of an asset should be reviewed at least at each financial year-end and, if expectations differ from
previous estimates, any change is accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate under IAS 8. [IAS 16.51]
The depreciation method used should reflect the pattern in which the asset's economic benefits are consumed by the entity [IAS 16.60]; a
depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate. [IAS
16.62A]
The depreciation method should be reviewed at least annually and, if the pattern of consumption of benefits has changed, the depreciation
method should be changed prospectively as a change in estimate under IAS 8. [IAS 16.61] Expected future reductions in selling prices
could be indicative of a higher rate of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in an asset. [IAS 16.56]
Depreciation should be charged to profit or loss, unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset [IAS 16.48].
Depreciation begins when the asset is available for use and continues until the asset is derecognized, even if it is idle. [IAS 16.55]
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment requires impairment testing and, if necessary, recognition for property, plant, and equipment. An
item of property, plant, or equipment shall not be carried at more than recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's
fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Any claim for compensation from third parties for impairment is included in profit or loss when the claim becomes receivable. [IAS
16.65]
An asset should be removed from the statement of financial position on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the proceeds and the carrying
amount and should be recognized in profit and loss. [IAS 16.67-71]
If an entity rents some assets and then ceases to rent them, the assets should be transferred to inventories at their carrying amounts as they
become held for sale in the ordinary course of business. [IAS 16.68A]
Disclosure
For each class of property, plant, and equipment, disclose: [IAS 16.73]
Additional disclosures
IAS 16 also encourages, but does not require, a number of additional disclosures. [IAS 16.79]
If property, plant, and equipment are stated at revalued amounts, certain additional disclosures are required: [IAS 16.77]
the effective date of the revaluation
whether an independent valuer was involved
for each revalued class of property, the carrying amount that would have been recognized had the assets been carried under the
cost model
the revaluation surplus, including changes during the period and any restrictions on the distribution of the balance to
shareholders.
Entities with property, plant and equipment stated at revalued amounts are also required to make disclosures under IFRS 13 Fair Value
Measurement.
Characteristics of PPE
Recognition
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset only if:
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably.
Initial measurement
Elements of Cost
Purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
Costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the
manner intended by the management.
Present value of decommissioning and restoration costs to the extent that they are recognized as obligation
Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of PPE ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Measurement of Cost
The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the
difference between the cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognized as interest over the period of credit unless such interest is
capitalized in accordance with PAS 23 Borrowing Costs.
Land improvement
Land improvements are enhancements to the land which have definite useful life, such as private driveways, walks, fences, parking lots,
drainages and water systems, and cost of trees, shrubs, plants and other landscaping.
The following costs are not included in the cost of a self-constructed building:
Internal profits or savings on self-construction
Cost of abnormal amounts of wasted material, labor, or other resources due to inefficiencies
Costs of uninsured hazards or claims for uninsured accidents
Costs of private driveways, walks, permanent fences, parking lots, and drainages and water systems that are not included in
the building’s blueprint
Building improvement
Building improvements refer to costs incurred subsequent to occupancy of a purchased building or subsequent to completion of a self-
constructed building that either increase the useful life of the building or improve its current state.
Cost of equipment
Purchase price including other necessary costs such as broker’s commissions and non-refundable purchase taxes.
Freight, handling charges, and insurance on the equipment while in transit
Cost of necessary special foundations or platform,
Assembling and installation costs
Costs of testing and conducting trial runs
The initial estimate of decommissioning and restoration costs for which the entity has a present obligation
Lump-sum purchase
The acquisition cost of a group of items of PPE acquired on a lump-sum price (basket price) is allocated to the individual assets
based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase.
Demolition costs
The accounting treatment for demolition costs depends on the reason for the demolition. Example:
Case: An old structure is demolished to make way for the construction of a new building.
Accounting: The demolition costs are considered as costs of site preparation under PAS 16.; and therefore, capitalized as cost of
the new building.
Any proceeds from sale of salvaged materials from the demolition are deducted from the demolition cost that is capitalized to the new
building.
If the exchange has commercial substance, the asset received from the exchange is measured using the following order of priority:
A. Fair value of asset Given up Plus cash Paid/ minus cash received
B. Fair value of asset Received
C. Carrying amount of asset Given up Plus cash Paid/ minus cash received
If the exchange lacks commercial substance, the asset received from the exchange is measured at (c) above.
Items of PPE received as donation are measured at fair value and accounted for as:
Income – if the donor is an unrelated party.
Donated capital – if the donor is an owner (shareholder).
Government grant, in accordance with PAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government
Assistance. Accounting (see Chapter 17) – if the donor is the government.
Subsequent measurement
Cost Model
After recognition, an item of PPE is measured at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its estimated useful life.
When computing for depreciation, each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall
be depreciated separately.
Depreciation 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.
Depreciation ceases when the asset is derecognized or when it is classified as “held for sale” under PFRS 5, whichever comes
earlier.
There are various methods of depreciation. The entity shall select the method that most closely reflects the expected pattern of
consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
However, a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate.
1. Straight line method – depreciation is recognized evenly over the life of the asset by dividing the depreciable amount by the
estimated useful life.
2. Sum-of-the-years’ digits (SYD) depreciation – depreciation is computed by applying a series of fractions to the depreciable amount
of the asset.
SYD Life + 1
denominator = Life x 2
3. Double declining balance method – depreciation is computed by applying a fixed rate on the carrying amount of the asset at the end of
each period. Unlike for other depreciation methods, the residual value is initially ignored when computing depreciation under the double
declining method.
Depreciation = Carrying amount x Rate
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter.
An option to renew the lease is considered when determining the shorter between the useful life and the remaining lease term if it is
probable that the renewal option will be exercised.
A change in depreciation method, useful life, or residual value is a change in accounting estimate accounted for prospectively.
Prospective accounting means the change affects only the current period and/or future periods. The change does not affect past periods.
The cost of the replacement part is recognized while the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
If the carrying amount of the replaced part is indeterminable, the entity may use the cost of the replacement as an indication of what the
cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired or constructed.
Revaluation Model
After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE 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.
Revaluation surplus
Fair value* xx
Less: Carrying amount (xx)
Revaluation surplus – gross of tax xx
*The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation technique, taking into account the principles set forth under PFRS
13.
Proportional method - The gross carrying amount is adjusted proportionately to the change in the carrying amount. Elimination method - The
accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
Frequency of revaluation
For items with significant and volatile changes in fair value, annual revaluation is necessary. For items with insignificant
changes in fair value, revaluation may be made every 3 or 5 years.
If an item of PPE is revalued, the entire class of PPE to which that asset belongs shall be revalued.
The items within a class of PPE are revalued simultaneously to avoid selective revaluation of assets and the reporting of amounts in the
financial statements that are a mixture of costs and values as at different dates.
Subsequent accounting for revaluation surplus
Revaluation is initially recognized in other comprehensive income unless the revaluation represents impairment loss or reversal of
impairment loss, in which case it is recognized in profit or loss.

The list price is gross of 12% VAT. When the purchase was made, the seller gave 10% and 5% trade discount as well as 2%
prompt payment discount. Antonio Company was able to avail of the trade discount but forfeited in the prompt payment
discount.
Because Antonio Company was initially not certain as to whether it will buy this equipment, it initially paid the seller
20,000 option money. Based on the agreement, if the sale was pushed through, the said amount shall be deducted from the
total amount to be paid.
