Chapter 11, Problem 27P

Parnell Company acquired construction equipment on January 1, 2017, at a cost of $78,400. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of six years and a residual value of $10,000 and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2018, the equipment was appraised and determined to have a fair value of $74,500, a salvage value of $10,000, and a remaining useful life of five years. In measuring property, plant, and equipment subsequent to acquisition under IFRS, Parnell would opt to use the revaluation model in IAS 16.

1. a. Determine the appropriate accounting for this equipment for the years ending December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, under (1) U.S. GAAP and (2) IFRS.
2. b. Prepare the entry(ies) that Parnell would make on the December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, conversion worksheets to convert U.S. GAAP balances to IFRS.

To determine

Determine the appropriate accounting for this equipment for the years ending December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, under (1) U.S. GAAP and (2) IFRS.

Explanation of Solution

(1)

U.S. GAAP:

The entry to record equipment under U.S. GAAP:

The equipment is not recorded under U.S. GAAP as the revaluation model is not used under same.

Computation of value of equipment as on December 31, 2017:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Equipment}\text{=}\text{Carrying}\text{amount}-\text{Depreciation}\\ =\$78,400-\frac{\$78,400-\$10,000}{6\text{years}}\\ =\$67,000\end{array}$

Computation of value of equipment as on December 31, 2018:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Equipment}\text{=}\text{Carrying}\text{amount}-\text{Depreciation}\\ =\$67,000-\frac{\$78,400-\$10,000}{6\text{years}}\\ =\$55,600\end{array}$

IFRS:

The entry to record sale and leaseback under IFRS:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
1/1/2018	Accumulated Depreciation on equipment		11,400
	Equipment			11,400
	(being equipment reduced for accumulated depreciation)
1/1/2018	Equipment		7,500
	Revaluation surplus			7,500
	(being equipment revalued)
12/31/2018	Depreciation expense		12,900
	Accumulated Depreciation on equipment			12,900
	(being depreciation recorded after revaluation)

To determine

Prepare the entry that Company P would make on the December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, conversion worksheets to convert U.S. GAAP balances to IFRS.

Explanation of Solution

The entry that Company P would make on December 31, 2018:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
12/31/2018	Depreciation expense		1,500
	Accumulated Depreciation on equipment		9,900
	Equipment			3,900
	Revaluation surplus			7,500
	(being revaluation surplus and depreciation recorded)
