Chapter 12 Capital Assets and Goodwill

Questions

1. A capital asset is long-lived in that it has a service life of longer than one accounting period; it is used in the production or sale of products or services.

2. Land held for future expansion is classified as a long-term investment. It is not a capital asset because it is not being used in the production or sale of other assets or services.

3. The cost of a capital asset includes all normal, reasonable, and necessary costs of getting the asset in place and ready to use.

4. Land is an asset with an unlimited life and, therefore, is not subject to amortization. Land improvements have limited lives and are subject to amortization.

5. No. The Accumulated Amortization, Machinery account is a contra asset account with a credit balance that cannot be used to buy anything. Funds available for buying machinery would be shown on the balance sheet as liquid assets with debit balances. The balance of the Accumulated Amortization, Machinery account shows the portion of the machinery's original cost that has been charged to amortization expense, and gives some indication of how soon the asset will need to be replaced.

6. Repairs are made to keep a capital asset in normal, good operating condition, and should be charged to expense of the current period. Betterments are made to extend the service potential or the life of a capital asset beyond the original estimated life and are charged to the capital asset account.

7. Because the $75 cost of the capital asset is not likely to be material to the users of the financial statements, the materiality principle justifies charging it to expense.

8. WestJet amortizes its aircraft on the basis of flight hours, a units-of-production basis.

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 because the company has changed its business plans. An asset may be damaged or destroyed by fire or some other accident.

10. The process of allocating the cost of natural resources to expense is called amortization.

11. An intangible capital asset has no physical existence. Its value comes from the unique legal and contractual rights held by its owner. Although goodwill is an intangible asset, it is not an intangible capital asset.

12. Not usually, amortization of natural resources should be calculated on a units-of-production basis that relates to the natural resource that is being cut, pumped, or extracted.

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 amortization period may not exceed 20 years according to current GAAP (unless it can be shown the benefits will extend past 20 years).

14. A business has goodwill when the price paid for a company being purchased exceeds the fair market value of this company’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) if purchased separately.

15. Goodwill is an intangible asset but it is not subject to amortization. Goodwill must be tested annually for impairment and adjusted if the results of the test indicate that there has been a decline in value.

| | |$70,000 | |

* The calculation shows $7,430 of amortization but that amount would cause accumulated amortization to exceed the maximum allowed of cost less residual ($86,000 – $16,000 = $70,000). Therefore, the amortization for 2014 must be adjusted to $2,576.

Analysis Component

Rock Energy will choose straight-line amortization to amortize the equipment if its goal is to show the highest value possible for the equipment on the Year 1 balance sheet. Straight-line will result in lower amortization than double declining balance in Year 1. The lower the amortization, the greater the net value (cost less accumulated amortization appearing in the balance sheet).

Calculations:

1. 106,000 – 34,000 = 72,000/4 = 18,000/year

2. 106,000 x 2/4 = 53,000; (106,000 – 53,000) x 2/4 = 26,500;

maximum amortization in 2012 is 106,000 – 34,000 = 72,000 – 53,000 = 19,000.

3. 106,000 – 34,000 = 72,000/160,000 = .45/unit;

2011 - .45 x 51,000 = 22,950;

2012 - .45 x 46,000 = 20,700;

2013 - .45 x 52,000 = 23,400;

2014 - .45 x 39,000 = 17,550;

72,000 – 22,950 – 20,700 – 23,400 = 4,950 maximum allowed in 2014.

Analysis component:

a. 2011 – Straight-line; 2014 – Double-declining-balance

1. 130,000 – 22,000 = 108,000/6 = 18,000 x 4/12 = 6,000

2. 130,000 – 22,000 = 108,000/200,000 = $0.54/km;

.54 x 31,000 = 16,740; .54 x 67,000 = 36,180; .54 x 52,000 = 28,080

Analysis component:

If amortization is not recorded, expenses are understated and net income is overstated on the income statement and on the balance sheet, assets and equity would be overstated.

Calculations:

1. 50,000/5 = 10,000 x 6/12 = 5,000

2. 2/5 = .4 or 40%; .4 x 50,000 x 6/12 = 10,000;

.4 x (50,000 – 10,000) = 16,000; .4 x (50,000 – 10,000 – 16,000) = 9,600

Analysis component:

If the furniture had been debited to an expense account when purchased instead of being recorded as a capital asset, expenses would have been overstated and net income would have been understated on the income statement in the year of purchase while assets and equity would have been understated on the balance sheet for the same year. In subsequent years, the expenses would have been understated and net income would have been overstated on the income statement while on the balance sheet assets and equity would continue to be understated until the end of the asset’s useful life.

Analysis component:

Nymark’s assets are financed mainly by equity in 2010. In 2011, the assets are financed largely by debt. The change from 2010 to 2011 in how assets were mainly financed (from equity to debt) is unfavourable because the greater the debt the greater the risk associated with debt (is/will Nymark be in a position to pay the interest and principal as it comes due).

1. Amortization is calculated to the nearest month.

2. Assume actual hours of service were: 2011: 720; 2012: 1,780; 2013: 1,535.

Analysis component:

If you could ignore the matching principle, you might record the purchase of the boats as a revenue expenditure which means the entire cost of $690,000 would have been expensed in 2011, the year of purchase. This would have resulted in the net income being understated in 2011 and overstated in the remaining years of the asset’s useful life. On the balance sheet, this would have caused assets to be understated in each year of the asset’s life and equity in 2011 would have been understated and overstated in the remaining years of the asset’s useful life.

Problem 12-7A (concluded)

Analysis component:

If the assets purchased on March 1, 2011 were put into service on May 23, 2011 the amortization expense calculated in parts 2 and 3 above would be based on 7 months instead of 10 months because straight-line and double-declining-balance amortization are both based on the time the assets are actually USED during the period.

Analysis component:

Debiting revenue expenditures to capital asset accounts is inappropriate treatment as these should be debited to expense accounts; this is a violation of the conservatism principle and, indirectly, the matching and cost principles. This error will cause assets and equity to be overstated on the balance sheet and on the income statement, expenses will be understated causing net income to be overstated.

Analysis component:

If GolfWorld had revised the remaining useful life and residual value of the clubhouse to 30 years and $150,000 on December 31, 2011, the annual amortization expense for 2011 and beyond would have been significantly less causing net income to be higher on the income statement and, on the balance sheet, assets and equity both overstated. It is important to correctly estimate the useful life and residual value of capital assets, to the greatest extent possible, otherwise the capital asset costs will not be matched appropriately to income which is in violation of both the matching and conservatism principles.

Analytical and Review Problems

A&R PROBLEM 12-1

The following points should be set out in the report:

1. Assets on which amortization was charged were purchased for use in the business and not for resale. Therefore, the fact that they may be sold for more than cost is not relevant.

2. Because these assets are subject to both physical and economic (obsolescence) deterioration, they have a limited useful life span, however long it may be, and their cost, less any residual value, must be allocated over their useful life.

3. Maintenance expenditures maintain these assets in a properly functioning order. They, however, do not eliminate the fact of physical and economic deterioration.

4. Not charging periodic amortization is in violation of the matching principle and results in an understatement of expenses and overstatement of net income.

5. Amortization is a process of allocation not of valuation.

Ethics Challenge

1. When managers acquire new assets a variety of decisions relative to amortization must be made. The asset must be assigned a useful life and residual value, and a method of amortization must be chosen.

2. It is true that when assets are placed in service on a day other than the first day of the month an assumption is usually made that the assets are placed into service on the first of the month nearest to the date of the purchase. For assets purchased on the 1st-15th days the first day of the month of purchase is assumed. For assets purchased on 16th-EOM then the first day of the next month is assumed.

3. By always selecting the first day of the next month Marcia is getting a one-time deferral of some partial months of amortization. She is still employing a systematic and rational method of allocating costs if she consistently chooses the first day of the next month. However, since she appears to be using this method only with respect to current-year additions it appears more that she is manipulating the accounting practices in order to get a small reduction in amortization expense this year. Also Marcia’s practice is not in keeping with general business practices. The facts of the situation more strongly support an ethical violation than a legitimate amortization decision.

4. By always assuming the later first of the month as date of deployment a few days’ less amortization will be accrued for the assets employed. Marcia’s company’s amortization expense will be less than if assets were considered employed on the first of the month closest to the date of purchase. With smaller amortization charges, net income will be higher. Therefore, this practice of Marcia’s will result in a higher profit margin for the company.

b. The full disclosure principle requires financial statements to report all relevant information about the operations and financial position of the entity. In conformance with the full disclosure principle, information in addition to the $25,314 (thousand) book value is reported in Note 1 (amortization methods) and Note 4 (cost, accumulated amortization, and book value).

c. The amortization expense for the year ended June 25, 2005, was $6,216 (thousand) for continuing operations and $1,330 (thousand) for discontinued operations. Although amortization expense typically appears on the income statement, Danier does not detail it here but these amounts do appear on the cash flow statement.

d. Note 1 of the June 25, 2005, financial statements show that Danier used the declining balance method to amortize capital assets and straight-line to amortize leasehold improvements.

Part 2

a. The total cost and accumulated amortization (depreciation) of WestJet’s capital assets at December 31, 2005, was $2,008,583 (thousand) and $205,086 (thousand) respectively.

b. Total amortization expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $106,624 (thousand).

c. According to Note 1(h) of its December 31, 2005, financial statements, WestJet used the units-of-production and straight-line methods to record 2005 amortization.

Critical Thinking Question

CT 12-1

Note to instructor: Student responses will vary therefore the answer here is only suggested and not inclusive of all possibilities; it is presented in point form for brevity.

Problem:

— Taking the perspective of both the external and internal auditors, there is a problem with how a number of revenue expenditures were recorded as capital expenditures.

Goal:*

— To identify which transactions were recorded incorrectly, correct them, and restate net income on the income statement and restate assets and equity on the balance sheet.

— Another goal, from the perspective of the auditor, would be to bring these issues to the attention of the board of directors for their action because there may be ethical concerns regarding the behaviour of the business manager (bonus is tied to income so he/she may be manipulating the recording of transactions to maximize income).

Principles:

— The matching principle has been violated; it requires costs to be allocated or matched to the period in which it helped generate revenues.

— The conservatism principle was also violated; it states that assets and income should never be overstated.

— Another GAAP requires consideration: materiality. If the misstatements are not material in nature (not significant in dollar amount so that the decisions of shareholders would not have been affected), the conclusions are affected. Therefore, we must look at the numbers to determine whether materiality has been violated or not.

CT 12-1 (continued)

Facts:

— as stated in the mini case

— The insurance was incorrectly debited to the Truck account; it should have been debited to a current asset account: Prepaid Insurance. The result of this error is an overstatement of net income in 2009 of $7,800 (36,000/24 months = 1,500/month insurance used x 10 months = 15,000 for 2009 vs 36,000/5 yrs useful life = 7,200; 15,000 – 7,200 = 7,800). 2009 net income is not known but if it is assumed that it approximates 2010 net income as reported ($78,000), then the $7,800 overstatement of net income in 2009 is material in nature since it approximates 10%. The net income in 2010 would also have been materially overstated; by $10,800 (1,500 insurance expense per month x 12 months used = 15,000 – amortization of insurance of 7,200 = 10,800). Net income in 2011 would have been understated by $4,200 (7,200 amortization of insurance – 3,000 insurance used = 4,200). It is unclear from the information provided how the insurance renewal was treated: as a capital or revenue expenditure; this would have affected the impact of the misstatement in 2011. It is unclear from the information provided whether revised amortization was calculated when the subsequent expenditures (motors) was debited to the truck account (which is correct assuming that the motors enhanced the trucks which is likely). We will assume that this was treated correctly (capital expenditure with resulting calculation of revised amortization) given no information to the contrary. The $32,000 and $2,500 costs regarding the tires and brakes were capitalized in error; they should have been expensed when incurred in 2010. Therefore, net income in 2010 is overstated by a potential $34,500 (32,000 + 2,500) — I say potential because it is unclear whether revised amortization was calculated on the truck; this additional amortization would affect the amount of any misstatement in 2010 and 2011. There is also the issue of when the bonus was recorded; these were recorded in the incorrect accounting periods (recorded when paid as opposed to the period which triggered the cost — violation of matching and realization principles). In addition, because the bonuses were based on overstated net income amounts, the bonuses would have been overstated for 2009 and 2010 and potentially in 2011.

— It appears that the 2010 net income was overstated by almost 50%.

CT 12-1 (concluded)

Conclusions/Consequences:

— To do ‘nothing’ would mean that shareholders/owners are making decisions based on inaccurate information.

— If the manager did, in fact, engage in unethical actions, a longer term implication from the perspective of the manager is that he/she may lose their job and future employability prospects in addition to damaging the credibility of the company and its share values assuming it is publicly held.

— The board of directors need to be made aware of the errors made in recording capital expenditures so that they can deal appropriately with the manager responsible and negative repercussions with shareholders/owners.

*The goal is highly dependent on :perspective.”
