Exercise 3.4: CGU Impairment


Electra Corp. owns a number of nuclear power plants. At the end of 20X3, Electra Corp. is testing a plant in
Alandia for impairment. The plant consists of the following items (with their carrying amounts as of 31 December
20X3):
Atomic reactors, cooling tower, store of nuclear fuel, all with equipment - EUR 55 mil. (includes initial
estimate of decommissioning costs)
Other technical facilities directly related to power plant - EUR 8 mil.
Administrative building with equipment (fully used in plant) - EUR 2 mil.
Receivables of the plant - EUR 2 mil.
Liabilities of the plant - EUR 1 mil.
Provision for decommissioning costs - EUR 15 mil. (equal to their present value).
Remaining useful life of this plant is 10 years (ending 20X13). New electricity producers from alternative
sources forced Electra to decrease production in this plant. With respect to this situation, Electra's management
prepared new financial forecasts for the plant, excluding decommissioning and restoration costs, financial
assets and other liabilities (in table below). Plant generates cash inflows as a whole.
Electra received offer to sell the plant at the price around EUR 42 mil. This price reflects the fact that the
buyer will assume obligation to decommission the plant and restore the site. Cost to sell the plant is negligible.

The profit for the year N is 800,000
The profit for the year N+1 is 1,2 million
Require: Prepare journal entries to record the lessee’s transactions for the year N+1.

Exercise 6.5: Use the same assumption & requirement as exercise 6.2, except for:

Accurate Inc. was incorporated on January 1, 20X1, and follows IFRS in preparing its financial statements. In
preparing its financial statements for financial year ending December 31, 20X3, Accurate Inc. used these useful
lives for its property, plant, and equipment:
• Buildings: 15 years
• Plant and machinery: 10 years
• Furniture and fixtures: 7 years
On January 1, 20X4, the entity decides to review the useful lives of the property, plant, and equipment. For this
purpose it hired external valuation experts. These independent experts certified the remaining useful lives of the
property, plant, and equipment of Accurate Inc. at the beginning of 20X4 as
• Buildings: 10 years
• Plant and machinery: 7 years
• Furniture and fixtures: 5 years
Accurate Inc. uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The original cost of the various components of
property, plant, and equipment were
• Buildings: $15,000,000
• Plant and machinery: $10,000,000
• Furniture and fixtures: $3,500,000
Required Compute the impact on the income statement for the year ending December 31, 20X4, if Accurate Inc.
decides to change the useful lives of the property, plant, and equipment in compliance with the recommendations
of external valuation experts. Assume that there were no salvage values for the three components of the property,
plant, and equipment either initially or at the time the useful lives were revisited and revised.

Case Study 8.2


Facts
On January 1, 20X1, Robust Inc. purchased heavy-duty equipment for $400,000. On the date of installation, it
was estimated that the machine has a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $40,000.
Accordingly the annual depreciation worked out to $36,000 = [($400,000 – $40,000) / 10].
On January 1, 20X5, after four years of using the equipment, the company decided to review the useful life of the
equipment and its residual value. Technical experts were consulted. According to them, the remaining useful life
of the equipment at January 1, 20X5, was seven years and its residual value was $46,000.
Required Compute the revised annual depreciation for the year 20X5 and future years.

Case Study 8.4


Facts
(a) All Change Co. Inc. changed its accounting policy in 200Y with respect to the valuation of inventories. Up to
200X, inventories were valued using a weighted-average cost (WAC) method. In 200Y the method was changed
to first-in, first-out (FIFO), as it was considered to more accurately reflect the usage and flow of inventories in
the economic cycle. The impact on inventory valuation was determined to be
At December 31, 200W: an increase of $10,000
At December 31, 200X: an increase of $15,000
At December 31, 200Y: an increase of $20,000
