Long-Term Assets
QUESTIONS
1 A plant asset is tangible; it is used in the production or sale of other assets or services; and
it has a useful life longer than one accounting period
2 The cost of a plant asset includes all normal and reasonable expenditures necessary to get the asset in place and ready for its intended use.
3 Land is an asset with an unlimited life and, therefore, is not subject to depreciation Land improvements have limited lives and are subject to depreciation
4 Often the lump-sum or basket purchase includes assets with different lives that must be depreciated separately Sometimes the purchase may include land, which is never depreciated
5 The Accumulated Depreciation—Machinery account is a contra asset account with a credit balance that cannot be used to buy anything The balance of the Accumulated Depreciation—Machinery account reflects that portion of the machinery's original cost that has been charged to depreciation expense It also gives some indication of the asset‘s age and how soon it will need to be replaced Any funds available for buying machinery are shown on the balance sheet as liquid assets with debit balances
6 The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System is not generally acceptable for financial accounting purposes because it allocates depreciation over an arbitrary period that is usually much shorter than the predicted useful life of the asset
7 The materiality principle justifies charging low-cost plant asset purchases to expense because such amounts are unlikely to impact the decisions of financial statement users
8 Ordinary repairs are made to keep a plant asset in normal, good operating condition, and should be charged to expense of the current period Extraordinary repairs are made to extend the life of a plant asset beyond the original estimated life; they are recorded as capital expenditures (and added to the asset account)
9 A company might sell or exchange an asset when it reaches the end of its useful life, or if it becomes inadequate or obsolete, or if the company has changed its business plans An asset also can be damaged or destroyed by fire or some other accident that would require its disposal
10 The process of allocating the cost of natural resources to expense over the periods when they are consumed is called depletion The method to compute depletion is similar to units- of-production depreciation
Trang 2units-of-production basis) and sold
12 An intangible asset: (1) has no physical existence; (2) derives value from the unique legal and contractual rights held by its owner; and (3) is used in the company‘s operations
13 Intangible assets are generally recorded at their cost and amortized over their predicted useful life (However, some costs are not included, such as the research and development costs leading up to a patent.) The costs of intangible assets are generally allocated to amortization expense using the straight-line method over their useful lives If the useful life
of an intangible asset is indefinite, then it is not amortized—instead, it is annually tested for impairment
14 A company has goodwill when its value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities Goodwill appears in the balance sheet when one company acquires another company or separate segment and pays a price that exceeds the combined values of all its net assets (assets less liabilities) excluding goodwill
15 No; this type of goodwill would not be amortized Instead, the FASB (SFAS 142) requires that goodwill be annually tested for impairment If the book value of goodwill does not exceed its
fair (market) value, goodwill is not impaired However, if the book value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded equal to that excess (Details of this two-step test are in advanced courses.)
16 Total asset turnover is calculated by dividing net sales by average total assets Financial statement users can use total asset turnover to evaluate the efficiency of a company in using its assets to generate sales
17 Best Buy lists Land and buildings; Leasehold improvements; Fixtures and equipment; Property under master and capital lease The book value of these assets is $2,464,000,000
18 Circuit City calls its plant assets ―Property and equipment, net.‖ The book value of the property and equipment is $738,802,000
19 Apple‘s Long term assets discussed in this chapter are: Property, plant, and equipment, net; Goodwill; Acquired intangible assets

Recorded cost = $190,000 + $20,000 + $4,000 + $13,700 = $227,700
Note: The $1,850 repair charge is an expense because it is not a normal and reasonable expenditure necessary to get the asset in place and ready for its intended use
Quick Study 8-2 (10 minutes)
1 The main difference between plant assets and current assets is that current assets are consumed or converted into cash within a short period of time, while plant assets have a useful life of more than one accounting period
2 The main difference between plant assets and inventory is that inventory is held for resale and plant assets are not
3 The main difference between plant assets and long-term investments is that plant assets are used in the primary operation of the business and investments are not

Analysis comments Based on these calculations, Lok turned its assets over 1.23
