Long-lived assets: both tangible and intangible, produce revenue through use rather than
through resale.
Depreciation: periodic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life
Amortization: periodic allocation of the cost of an intangible asset over its useful life
Depletion: depreciation of costs of acquiring and developing natural resources
Residual value: the estimated net recoverable amount from disposal or trade-in of the asset at
the end of its estimated useful life.
portion of cost not consumed through use
Depreciable amount: the total amount of depreciation to be recognized over the useful life of
the asset -
equals capitalized asset cost minus residual value
Net book value (carrying value): the total capitalized asset cost minus accumulated
depreciation (or amortization) to date and minus any net impairment losses and reversals
Impairment: arises when the fair value of an asset is less than its net book value. It is a write-
down of a long-lived asset to its recoverable amount.
The eventual decline in utility of capital assets is caused by:
physical factors, mainly usage
wear and tear from operations; passage of time; elements; and deterioration
and decay
obsolescence due to new technology
Technological change does not automatically render older equipment obsolete
If the older equipment meets the present needs of the company, obsolescence
is not a factor
There are six asset categories that are not depreciated or amortized:
Land
Investment Property
Held-for-Sale Assets
Biological Assets
Intangible Long-lived Assets with an Indefinite Life
Goodwill

Document Summary

Impairment: arises when the fair value of an asset is less than its net book value. It is a write- down of a long-lived asset to its recoverable amount. The eventual decline in utility of capital assets is caused by: physical factors, mainly usage, wear and tear from operations; passage of time; elements; and deterioration and decay, obsolescence due to new technology. Technological change does not automatically render older equipment obsolete. If the older equipment meets the present needs of the company, obsolescence is not a factor. There are six asset categories that are not depreciated or amortized: Investment property: held-for-sale assets, biological assets, goodwill. The method of depreciation or amortization, should be: rational and systematic, and: reflect the pattern of consumption of future economic benefits. Straight-line - equal allocation to each time period: variable charge - based on inputs or outputs; or, accelerated methods decreasing charge over time.
