Impairments
Recognizing Impairments
A long-lived tangible asset is impaired when a company is not
able to recover the asset’s carrying amount either through
using it or by selling it.
On an annual basis, companies review the asset for indicators
of impairments—that is, a decline in the asset’s cash-
generating ability through use or sale.
11-30
LO 5 Explain the accounting issues related to asset impairment.

Case 1
At December 31, 2011, Hanoi Company has equipment with a cost of
VND26,000,000, and accumulated depreciation of VND12,000,000. The
equipment has a total useful life of four years with a residual value of
VND2,000,000. The following information relates to this equipment.
1.
The equipment’s carrying amount at December 31, 2011, is
VND14,000,000 (VND26,000,000 VND12,000,000).
2.
Hanoi uses straight-line depreciation. Depreciation was VND6,000,000
for 2011 and is recorded.
3.
Hanoi has determined that the recoverable amount for this asset at
December 31, 2011, is VND11,000,000.

Case 2
At the end of 2010, Verma Company tests a machine for impairment. The
machine has a carrying amount of $200,000. It has an estimated remaining
useful life of five years. Because there is little market-related information on
which to base a recoverable amount based on fair value, Verma determines
the machine’s recoverable amount should be based on value-in-use. Verma
uses a discount rate of 8 percent. Verma’s analysis indicates that its future
cash flows will be $40,000 each year for five years, and it will receive a
residual value of $10,000 at the end of the five years. It is assumed that all
cash flows occur at the end of the year.

Cash-Generating Units
When it is not possible to assess a single asset for impairment
because the single asset generates cash flows only in combination
with other assets, companies identify the smallest group of assets that
can be identified that generate cash flows independently of the cash

No depreciation or amortization is taken on assets held for
disposal during the period they are held.
Can write up or down an asset held for disposal in future
periods, as long as the carrying amount after the write up

Depletion
Natural resources can be divided into two categories:
1. Biological assets (timberlands)
►
Fair value approach (chapter 9)
2. Mineral resources (oil, gas, and mineral mining).
►
Complete removal (consumption) of the asset.
►
Replacement of the asset only by an act of nature.
Depletion – process of allocating the cost of mineral resources.
11-46
LO 6 Explain the accounting procedures for depletion of mineral resources.
Depletion
Establishing a Depletion Base
Computation of the depletion base involves:
(1) Pre-exploratory costs.
(2) Exploratory and evaluation costs.
(3) Development costs.
11-47
LO 6 Explain the accounting procedures for depletion of mineral resources.
Depletion
Write-off of Resource Cost
Normally, companies compute depletion on a units-ofproduction method (activity approach). Depletion is a function
of the number of units extracted during the period.
Calculation:
Total cost – Residual value
Total estimated units available
Units extracted x Cost per unit
11-48
= Depletion cost per unit

LO 6 Explain the accounting procedures for depletion of mineral resources.
Depletion
Illustration: MaClede Co. acquired the right to use 1,000
acres of land in South Africa to mine for silver. The lease cost
is $50,000, and the related exploration costs on the property
are $100,000. Intangible development costs incurred in
opening the mine are $850,000. MaClede estimates that the
mine will provide approximately 100,000 ounces of silver.

Revaluations
Recognizing Revaluations
Companies may value long-lived tangible asset after
acquisition at cost or fair value.
Network Rail (GBR) elected to use fair values to account for its
railroad network.
►
Increased long-lived tangible assets by £4,289 million.
►
Change in the fair value accounted for by adjusting the
asset account and establishing an unrealized gain.
►

Revaluations
Revaluations Issues
Company can select to value only one class of assets, say buildings,
and not revalue other assets such as land or equipment.
Most companies do not use revaluation accounting.

►
Substantial and continuing costs associated with appraisals.
►
Gains associated with revaluations above historical cost are
not reported in net income but rather go directly to equity.
►
Losses associated with revaluation below historical cost
decrease net income. In addition, the higher depreciation
charges related to the revalued assets also reduce net
income.
LO 7 Explain the accounting for revaluations.

Under both iGAAP and U.S. GAAP, interest costs incurred during
construction must be capitalized.
The accounting for exchanges of non-monetary assets has recently
converged between IFRS and U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP now requires that
gains on exchanges of non-monetary assets be recognized if the
exchange has commercial substance. This is the same framework used
in IFRS.
U.S. GAAP also views depreciation as allocation of cost over an asset’s
life. U.S. GAAP permits the same depreciation methods (straight-line,
diminishing-balance, units-of-production) as IFRS.
11-67
IFRS requires component depreciation. Under U.S. GAAP, component
depreciation is permitted but is rarely used.
Under IFRS, companies can use either the historical cost model or the
revaluation model. U.S. GAAP does not permit revaluations of property,
plant, and equipment or mineral resources.
In testing for impairments of long-lived assets, U.S. GAAP uses a twostep model to test for impairments. The IFRS impairment test is stricter.
However, unlike U.S. GAAP, reversals of impairment losses are
permitted.
The general rules for revaluation accounting are as follows.
1. When a company revalues its long-lived tangible assets above
historical cost, it reports an unrealized gain that increases other
comprehensive income. Thus, the unrealized gain bypasses net
income, increases other comprehensive income, and increases
accumulated other comprehensive income.
2. If a company experiences a loss on impairment (decrease of
value below historical cost), the loss reduces income and
retained earnings. Thus, gains on revaluation increase equity
but not net income, whereas losses decrease income and
retained earnings (and therefore equity).
11-68
LO 9 Explain revaluation accounting procedures.
3. If a revaluation increase reverses a decrease that was
previously reported as an impairment loss, a company credits
the revaluation increase to income using the account Recovery
of Impairment Loss up to the amount of the prior loss. Any
additional valuation increase above historical cost increases
other comprehensive income and is credited to Unrealized Gain
on Revaluation.
4. If a revaluation decrease reverses an increase that was
reported as an unrealized gain, a company first reduces other
comprehensive income by eliminating the unrealized gain. Any
additional valuation decrease reduces net income and is
reported as a loss on impairment.
11-69
LO 9 Explain revaluation accounting procedures.
Revaluation of Land
Revaluation—2010: Valuation Increase
Illustration: Unilever Group (GBR and NLD) purchased land on
January 1, 2010, that cost €400,000. Unilever decides to report the
land at fair value in subsequent periods. At December 31, 2010, an
appraisal of the land indicates that its fair value is €520,000. Unilever
makes the following entry to record the increase in fair value.

Amortization of Intangibles
Limited-Life Intangibles:
12-9
Amortize by systematic charge to expense over useful life.
Credit asset account or accumulated amortization.
Useful life should reflect the periods over which the asset
will contribute to cash flows.
Amortization should be cost less residual value.
IFRS requires companies to assess the residual values
and useful lives of intangible assets at least annually.
LO 3 Explain the procedure for amortizing intangible assets.

Goodwill
Conceptually, represents the future economic benefits arising
from the other assets acquired in a business combination that
are not individually identified and separately recognized.
Only recorded when an entire business is purchased.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of …
cost of the purchase over the FMV of the identifiable net
assets purchased.
Internally created goodwill should not be capitalized.

LO 7 Explain the accounting issues related to intangible-asset impairments.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Illustration: Lerch, Inc. has a patent on how to extract oil from
shale rock, with a carrying value of $5,000,000 at the end of 2010.
Unfortunately, several recent non-shale-oil discoveries adversely
affected the demand for shale-oil technology, indicating that the
patent is impaired. Lerch determines the recoverable amount for
the patent, based on value-in-use (because there is no active
market for the patent). Lerch estimates the patent’s value-in-use at
$2,000,000, based on the discounted expected net future cash
flows at its market rate of interest.

Early in 2012, based on improving conditions in the market for
shale-oil technology, Lerch remeasures the recoverable amount of
the patent to be $1,750,000. In this case, Lerch reverses a portion
of the recognized impairment loss.

than Goodwill
Should be tested for impairment at least annually.
Impairment test is the same as that for limited-life
intangibles. That is,
►
compare the recoverable amount of the intangible
asset with the asset’s carrying value.
►
If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying
amount, the company recognizes an impairment.

LO 7 Explain the accounting issues related to intangible asset impairments.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Illustration: Arcon Radio purchased a broadcast license for
$2,000,000. The license is renewable every 10 years. Arcon Radio
has renewed the license with the GCC twice, at a minimal cost.
Because it expects cash flows to last indefinitely, Arcon reports the
license as an indefinite-life intangible asset. Recently, the GCC
decided to auction these licenses to the highest bidder instead of
renewing them. Based on recent auctions of similar licenses, Arcon
Radio estimates the fair value less costs to sell (the recoverable
amount) of its license to be $1,500,000.

LO 7 Explain the accounting issues related to intangible asset impairments.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Impairment of Goodwill
12-34
Companies must test goodwill at least annually.
Impairment test is conducted based on the cash-generating
unit to which the goodwill is assigned.
Because there is rarely a market for cash-generating units,
estimation of the recoverable amount for goodwill
impairments is usually based on value-in-use estimates.
LO 7 Explain the accounting issues related to intangible asset impairments.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Illustration: Kohlbuy Corporation has three divisions. It purchased
one division, Pritt Products, four years ago for $2 million.
Unfortunately, Pritt experienced operating losses over the last three
quarters. Kohlbuy management is now reviewing the division (the
cash-generating unit), for purposes of its annual impairment
testing. Pritt Division’s net assets, including the associated goodwill
of $900,000 from the purchase:

Reporting is similar to the reporting of property, plant, and
equipment.
►
Contra accounts may not be shown for intangibles.
►
Companies should report as a separate item all intangible
assets other than goodwill.

►
Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS segregate the costs associated with
research and development into the two components. Costs in the
research phase are always expensed under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
Under IFRS, however, costs in the development phase are capitalized
once economic viability is achieved.
►
While IFRS permits some capitalization of internally generated
intangible assets (e.g., brands and development costs that meet
economic viability criteria), U.S. GAAP requires expensing of all
research and development costs.
12-54
12-55
►
Under U.S. GAAP, impairment loss is measured as the excess of the
carrying amount over the asset’s fair value. Under IFRS, the impairment
test is based on the asset’s carrying amount compared to its
recoverable amount (the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to
sell and its value-in-use).
►
While IFRS allows reversal of impairment losses when there has been a
change in economic conditions or in the expected use of the asset,
under U.S. GAAP, impairment losses cannot be reversed for assets to
be held and used; the impairment loss results in a new cost basis for
the asset. IFRS and U.S. GAAP are similar in the accounting for the
impairments of assets held for disposal.
►
12-56
With issuance of a recent converged statement on business
combinations (IFRS 3 and SFAS No. 141—Revised ), IFRS and U.S.
GAAP are very similar for intangibles acquired in a business
combination. That is, companies recognize an intangible asset
separately from goodwill if the intangible represents contractual or legal
rights or is capable of being separated or divided and sold, transferred,
licensed, rented, or exchanged. In addition, under both U.S. GAAP and
IFRS, companies recognize acquired in-process research and
development (IPR&D) as a separate intangible asset if it meets the
definition of an intangible asset and its fair value can be measured
reliably.

What is a Liability?
Three essential characteristics:
1. Present obligation.
2. Arises from past events.
3. Results in an outflow of
resources (cash, goods,
services).

What is a Current Liability?
Current liability is reported if one of two conditions exists:
1. Liability is expected to be settled within its normal operating
cycle; or
2. Liability is expected to be settled within 12 months after the
reporting date.
The operating cycle is the period of time elapsing between the
acquisition of goods and services and the final cash realization resulting
from sales and subsequent collections.

types of provisions.
Recognition of a Provision
Companies accrue an expense and related liability for a provision
only if the following three conditions are met:
1. Warrantees or product guarantees.
2. Probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation; and
3. A reliable estimate can be made.

Recognition of a Provision
Recognition Examples
Constructive obligation is an obligation that derives from a
company’s actions where:
1. By an established pattern of past practice, published policies,
or a sufficiently specific current statement, the company has
indicated to other parties that it will accept certain
responsibilities; and
2. As a result, the company has created a valid expectation on
the part of those other parties that it will discharge those
responsibilities.

Measurement of Provisions
How does a company determine the amount to report
for a provision?
IFRS:
Amount recognized should be the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation.
Best estimate represents the amount that a company would
pay to settle the obligation at the statement of financial
position date.
13-46
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Measurement of Provisions
Measurement Examples
Management must use judgment, based on past or similar
transactions, discussions with experts, and any other pertinent
information.
Toyota warranties. Toyota might determine that 80
percent of its cars will not have any warranty cost, 12
percent will have substantial costs, and 8 percent will have a much
smaller cost. In this case, by weighting all the possible outcomes by
their associated probabilities, Toyota arrives at an expected value for
its warranty liability.
13-47
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Measurement of Provisions
Measurement Examples
Management must use judgment, based on past or similar
transactions, discussions with experts, and any other pertinent
information.
Carrefour refunds. Carrefour sells many items at
varying selling prices. Refunds to customers for products
sold may be viewed as a continuous range of refunds, with each
point in the range having the same probability of occurrence. In this
case, the midpoint in the range can be used as the basis for
measuring the amount of the refunds.
13-48
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Measurement of Provisions
Measurement Examples
Novartis lawsuit. Large companies like Novartis are
involved in numerous litigation issues related to their
products. Where a single obligation such as a lawsuit is being
measured, the most likely outcome of the lawsuit may be the best
estimate of the liability.
Measurement of the liability should consider the time value of money.
Future events that may have an impact on the measurement of the
costs should be considered.
13-49
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Common Types of Provisions
Common Types:
1. Lawsuits
4. Environmental
2. Warranties
5. Onerous contracts
3. Premiums
6. Restructuring
IFRS requires extensive disclosure related to provisions in the notes to
the financial statements, however companies do not record or report in
the notes general risk contingencies inherent in business operations
(e.g., the possibility of war, strike, uninsurable catastrophes, or a
business recession).
13-50
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Common Types of Provisions
Litigation Provisions
Companies must consider the following in determining whether
to record a liability with respect to pending or threatened
litigation and actual or possible claims and assessments.
1. Time period in which the underlying cause of action
occurred.
2. Probability of an unfavorable outcome.
3. Ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of
loss.
13-51
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Common Types of Provisions
Litigation Provisions
With respect to unfiled suits and unasserted claims and
assessments, a company must determine
1. the degree of probability that a suit may be filed or a claim
or assessment may be asserted, and
2. the probability of an unfavorable outcome.
If both are probable, if the loss is reasonably estimable, and if the
cause for action is dated on or before the date of the financial
statements, then the company should accrue the liability.
13-52
LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Common Types of Provisions
BE13-10: Scorcese Inc. is involved in a lawsuit at December 31,
2010. (a) Prepare the December 31 entry assuming it is probable
that Scorcese will be liable for $900,000 as a result of this suit. (b)

Common Types of Provisions
Warranty Provisions
Promise made by a seller to a buyer to make good on a deficiency

company can reasonably estimate the costs involved, the
company must record an expense.

LO 4 Explain the accounting for different
types of provisions.
Common Types of Provisions

incurred, or
2. it cannot reasonably estimate the amount of
the liability.

Bonds Payable
Non-current liabilities (long-term debt) consist of an
expected outflow of resources arising from present obligations
that are not payable within a year or the operating cycle of
the company, whichever is longer.
Examples:
►
Bonds payable
►
Pension liabilities
►
Long-term notes payable
►
Lease liabilities
►
Mortgages payable
Long-term debt has various
covenants or restrictions.

Represents a promise to pay:
(1) sum of money at designated maturity date, plus
(2) periodic interest at a specified rate on the maturity
amount (face value).
Paper certificate, typically a $1,000 face value.
Interest payments usually made semiannually.
Used when the amount of capital needed is too large for one
lender to supply.

Usually takes weeks or months.
Issuing company must
►
Arrange for underwriters.
►
Obtain regulatory approval of the bond issue,
undergo audits, and issue a prospectus.
►
Have bond certificates printed.
LO 3 Describe the accounting valuation for bonds at date of issuance.
Valuation of Bonds Payable
Selling price of a bond issue is set by the
supply and demand of buyers and sellers,
relative risk,
market conditions, and
state of the economy.
Investment community values a bond at the present value of
its expected future cash flows, which consist of (1) interest and
(2) principal.
14-10
LO 3 Describe the accounting valuation for bonds at date of issuance.
Valuation of Bonds Payable
Interest Rate
Stated, coupon, or nominal rate = Rate written in the
terms of the bond indenture.
Bond issuer sets this rate.
Stated as a percentage of bond face value (par).
Market rate or effective yield = Rate that provides an
acceptable return commensurate with the issuer’s risk.
14-11
Rate of interest actually earned by the bondholders.
LO 3 Describe the accounting valuation for bonds at date of issuance.
Valuation of Bonds Payable
How do you calculate the amount of interest that is actually
paid to the bondholder each period?
(Stated rate x Face Value of the bond)
How do you calculate the amount of interest that is actually
recorded as interest expense by the issuer of the bonds?
(Market rate x Carrying Value of the bond)

LO 3
Bonds Issued at a Discount
When bonds sell at less than face value:
14-20
►
Investors demand a rate of interest higher than stated rate.
►
Usually occurs because investors can earn a higher rate
on alternative investments of equal risk.
►
Cannot change stated rate so investors refuse to pay face
value for the bonds.
►
Investors receive interest at the stated rate computed on
the face value, but they actually earn at an effective rate
because they paid less than face value for the bonds.
LO 3 Describe the accounting valuation for bonds at date of issuance.
Effective-Interest Method
Bond issued at a discount – amount paid at maturity is more
than the issue amount.
Bonds issued at a premium – company pays less at maturity
relative to the issue price.
Adjustment to the cost is recorded as bond interest expense over
the life of the bonds through a process called amortization.
Required procedure for amortization is the effective-interest
method (also called present value amortization).
