Example 9
Oil PLC installs a crude oil processing plant costing $12 million with an estimated capacity to process 50 million barrels of crude oil during its entire life. Production during the first year of operation is 2 million barrels. Expected residual value of the processing plant is $2 million.
Depreciation charge for the first year is calculated as follows:
Depreciation Expense = ($12 - $2m) x 2 / 50 = $0.4 million
Example - Units of Usage (Activity) Depreciation
Plastic LTD purchases a steel mould costing $1 million to be used in the production of plastic glasses. The mould could be used in 8 production batches after which it will have a scrap value of $.2 million. During the first year, the company manufactures 2 batches of glasses.
Depreciation charge for the year is calculated as follows:
Depreciation Expense = ($1 - $0.2m) x 2 / 8 = $0.2 million
Considerations - Advantages and Disadvantages
Units of Production Method may be appropriate where there is a high correlation between activity of an asset and its physical wear and tear. As no depreciation under this method is charged when an asset remains idle, it is not appropriate for depreciating assets that suffer a significant decrease in their earning potential with the passage of time for reasons such as technological obsolescence.
Disposal of Fixed Assets
Fixed assets may be sold anytime during their useful life. This gives rise to the need to derecognize the asset from balance sheet and recognize any resulting gain or loss in the income statement.
The accounting for disposal of fixed assets can be summarized as follows:
Record cash receive or the receivable created from the sale:
Debit
Cash/Receivable
Remove the asset from the balance sheet
Credit
Fixed Asset (Net Book Value)
Recognize the resulting gain or loss
Debit/credit
Gain or Loss (Income Statement)
Example 10
ABC LTD purchased a machine for $2000 on 1st January 2011 which had a useful life of 5 years and an estimated residual value of $500. The machine was being depreciated on straight line basis. However, ABC LTD decided to sell the asset on1 January 2013 for $1500 in order to raise cash for the purchase of a new machine.
The disposal of the fixed asset will be recorded as follows:
Record cash received or the receivable arising from the sale:
Debit
Cash
$1500
Remove the asset from the balance sheet
As a fixed asset is recognized in the balance sheet at the Net Book Value (i.e. Cost less Accumulated Depreciation), the machine will be removed from the accounts of ABC LTD in two parts:
First, the Machine Cost must be removed by crediting the ledger:
Credit
Machine Cost
$2000
Second, the Accumulated Depreciation in respect of the machine must be removed by debiting the ledger:
Debit
Accumalated Depreciation
$600*
*Accumulated Depreciation: (2000 - 500)/5 x 2 Years
The combined effect of the above two transactions would be to remove the machine's net book value of $1400 (2000 - 600) from the balance sheet.
The combined effect of the above two transactions would be to remove the machine's net book value of $1400 (2000 - 600) from the balance sheet.
Recognize the resulting gain or loss on the sale of machine
ABC LTD received $1500 for an asset with a balance sheet worth of $1400. It therefore earned a gain of $100. The gain will be recorded as follows:
Credit
Gain on Disposal
$100
The accounting entries will appear in the ABC LTD's ledger accounts as follows:
