Chapter 8 - Long-Term Assets
What is a Long-Term Asset?
Also known as Capital Assets…
1. Property, Plant and Equipment (TA)
2. Intangible Assets
3. Goodwill
Tangible Assets: Physical Presence, such as land, buildings, machinery, furniture,
computer equipment etc. These are purchased by companies to use them to generate
revenues over multiple future periods. These assets are not purchased for resale.
Intangible Assets: Long term assets without a presence, including things such as
trademarks, patents, copyrights, licenses, franchise rights, and customer lists. These
assets must be separately identifiable from other assets, which means they can be
resold, licensed or rented.
Goodwill: Long-term asset that arises when 2 businesses are combined. These assets
cannot be separated from the business and sold. Represents the future economic
benefits that will arise from the combination.
Long-Term Assets: Companies invest in long-term assets to generate future revenues.
Usually are sources of significant costs, and will impact operations for many years into
the future. Purchasing and proceeds from long-term assets are considered investing
activities.
Valuation of PP&E
Under IFRS, two models can be considered when determining the amount at which
PP&E will be reflected on the statement of financial position.
Cost Model & Revaluation Model
Cost Model: PP&E are presented on the statement of financial position at their carrying
amount — the portion of the asset that has yet to be expenses, not what the asset is
worth — which is: Cost - Accumulated depreciation (& accumulated impairment losses).
Accumulated Depreciation is a Contra-Asset account.
All PP&E are initially recorded at cost.

Whats Included in Cost
-General guidelines is all costs necessary to acquire the asset and ready it for use
should be capitalized.
-Any cost incurred that is not capitalized as part of the asset cost would be expensed
in the period of the purchase.
-Costs that are capitalized
-Purchase price (less any discounts or rebates)
-Non-refundable taxes and import duties on the purchase price
-Legal costs associated with the purchase
-shipping or transportation costs
-Site preparation, installation, and set up costs
Purchase Price Allocation& Purchase of Multiple Assets
Basket purchase, also known as lump-sum purchase, is when a single purchase price is
charged for all of the items being acquired.
Relative Fair Value: allocates the purchase price. Can be done in different ways, 1.
having an appraisal, important to record the price paid not the appraisal price.
Subsequent Costs: Costs will be incurred to every asset, from maintenance to
renovations and alterations. To determine if the cost should be expensed through period
costs or capitalized. IF the costs extend the useful life of the asset passed expected life,
will they reduce operating costs, or improve output (quantity or quality). If yes then the
asset will produce future economic benefit and should be capitalized, if not expensed.
Depreciation
We depreciate in order to allocate a portion of the asset’s cost to each of the period in
which the future economic benefits embodied in the asset are being used up or
consumed.
Estimated Residual Value: Management estimate, the net amount that the company
expects would receive if the asset were sold i the condition it is expected to be in at the
end of its useful life. This portion is not expensed to the company as it expects to
recover the cost when finished with the asset.
Estimated Useful Life: Management estimate that can be determined by time (years) or
usage (hours, until or km).
