General Rule for Cost Capitalization
The initial cost of an operational asset includes the
purchase price and all expenditures necessary to bring the
asset to its desired condition and location for use.

The initial cost of an intangible
asset includes the purchase
price and all other costs
necessary to bring it to
condition and location for use,
such as legal and filing fees.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 6
Asset Retirement Obligations
Often encountered with natural resource
extraction when the land must be
restored to a useable condition.
Recognize the restoration costs
as a liability and a corresponding
increase in the related asset.
Record at fair value, usually the
present value of future cash
outflows associated with the
reclamation or restoration.

Exclusive
Rights.
Intangible
Assets
Future benefits less certain
than tangible assets.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 8
Intangible Assets ─ Patents
An exclusive right recognized by law and granted by
the US Patent Office for 20 years.
 Holder has the right to use, manufacture, or sell the
patented product or process without interference or
infringement by others.
 R & D costs that lead to an internally developed patent
are expensed in the period incurred.

Torch, Inc. has developed a new device. Research and
development costs totaled $30,000. Patent registration
costs consisted of $2,000 in attorney fees and $1,000 in
federal registration fees. What is Torch’s patent cost?
Torch’s cost for the new patent is $3,000. The
$30,000 R & D cost is expensed as incurred.

Slide 9
Intangible Assets
Copyrights
Trademarks
A form of protection given
by law to authors of
literary, musical, artistic,
and similar works.
 Copyright owners have
exclusive rights to print,
reprint, copy, sell or
distribute, perform and
record the work.
 Generally, the legal life of
a copyright is the life of
the author plus 70 years.

A symbol, design, or logo
associated with a business.

If internally developed,
trademarks have no
recorded asset cost.

If purchased, a trademark is
recorded at cost.

Registered with U.S. Patent
Office and renewable
indefinitely in 10-year
periods.

Slide 10
Intangible Assets
Franchise
A contractual arrangement where the
franchisor grants the franchisee exclusive
rights to use the franchisor’s trademark
within a certain area for a specified period
of time.
Goodwill
Occurs when one
company buys
another company.
Only purchased
goodwill is an
intangible asset.
The amount by which the
consideration given price exceeds
the fair value of net assets acquired.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 11
Goodwill
Eddy Company paid $1,000,000 to purchase all of
James Company’s assets and assumed James
Company’s liabilities of $200,000. James
Company’s assets were appraised at a fair value of
$900,000.
What amount of goodwill should be
recorded in Eddy Company books?
a. $100,000
b. $200,000
c. $300,000
d. $400,000

Slide 12
Lump-Sum Purchases
Several assets are acquired for a single price that may
be lower than the sum of the individual asset prices.
Allocation of the lump-sum price is based
on relative fair values of the individual assets.
Asset 1
Asset 2

Slide 16
Deferred Payments
On January 2, 2009, Midwestern Corporation purchased
equipment by signing a noninterest-bearing note requiring
$50,000 to be paid on December 31, 2009. The prevailing
market rate of interest on notes of this nature is 10%.
Prepare the required journal entries for Midwestern on
January 2, 2009; December 31, 2009 (year-end), and
December 31, 2010 (year-end).
We do not know the cash equivalent price, so we must
use the present value of the future cash payment.

Issuance of Equity Securities
 Asset acquired is recorded at the fair value of the asset
or the market value of the securities, whichever is more
clearly evident.
 If the securities are actively traded, market value can be
easily determined.

If no objective and reliable value can be determined,
board of directors assigns a “reasonable value.”
Donated Assets
 On occasion, companies acquire operational assets
through donation.
 SFAS No. 116 requires the receiving company to
• Record the donated asset at fair value.
• Record revenue equal to the fair value of the donated
asset.

Dispositions
 Update depreciation to date of disposal.
 Remove original cost of asset and accumulated
depreciation from the books.
 The difference between book value of the asset and the
amount received is recorded as a gain or loss.
On June 30, 2009, MeLo, Inc. sold equipment for $6,350
cash. The equipment was purchased on January 1, 2004 at
a cost of $15,000. The equipment was depreciated using the
straight-line method over an estimated ten-year life with zero
salvage value. MeLo last recorded depreciation on the
equipment on December 31, 2008, its year-end.
Prepare the journal entries necessary to
record the disposition of this equipment.

Exchanges
General Valuation Principle (GVP): Cost of asset acquired is:
• fair value of asset given up plus cash paid or minus cash
received or
• fair value of asset acquired, if it is more clearly evident
In the exchange of operational assets fair value is used
except in rare situations in which the fair value cannot be
determined or the exchange lacks commercial substance.
When fair value cannot be determined or the exchange
lacks commercial substance, the asset(s) acquired are
valued at the book value of the asset(s) given up, plus (or
minus) any cash exchanged. No gain is recognized.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 23
Fair Value Not Determinable
Matrix, Inc. exchanged one unique operational asset for
another operational asset. Due to the nature of the assets
exchanged, Matrix could not determine the fair value of the
asset given up or received. The asset given up originally
cost $600,000, and had an accumulated depreciation
balance of $400,000 at the time of the exchange. Matrix
exchanged the asset and paid $100,000 cash.
Let’s record this unusual transaction.

Exchange Lacks Commercial Substance
When exchanges are recorded at fair value, any gain or
loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value
and book value of the asset(s) given-up. To preclude the
possibility of companies engaging in exchanges of
appreciated assets solely to be able to recognize gains, fair
value can only be used in legitimate exchanges that have
commercial substance.
A nonmonetary exchange is considered to have
commercial substance if the company:
 expects a change in future cash flows as a result of the
exchange, and
 that expected change is significant relative to the fair
value of the assets exchanged.

Self-Constructed Assets
When self-constructing an asset, two accounting issues must
be addressed:
 overhead allocation to the self-constructed asset.
• incremental overhead only
• full-cost approach
 proper treatment of interest incurred during construction
Under certain conditions, interest incurred on
qualifying assets is capitalized.
Asset constructed:
 For a company’s own use.
 As a discrete project for
sale or lease.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Interest that could have been
avoided if the asset were not
constructed and the money
used to retire debt.
Slide 29
Interest Capitalization
Capitalization begins when:
• construction begins
• interest is incurred, and
• qualifying expenses are incurred.
Capitalization ends when:
• the asset is substantially complete and ready
for its intended use, or
• when interest costs no longer are being
incurred.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 30
Interest Capitalization
Interest is capitalized based on Average
Accumulated Expenditures (AAE).
Qualifying expenditures (construction labor, material, and
overhead) weighted for the number of months outstanding
during the current accounting period.
If the qualifying asset is
financed through a
specific new borrowing
If there is no specific new
borrowing, and the
company has other debt
. . . use the specific rate
of the new borrowing as
the capitalization rate.
. . . use the weighted
average cost of other debt
as the capitalization rate.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 31
Interest Capitalization
Welling, Inc. is constructing a building for its own use.
Construction activities started on May 1 and have continued
through Dec. 31. Welling made the following qualifying
expenditures: May 1, $125,000; July 31, $160,000, Oct. 1,
$200,000; and Dec. 1, $300,000. Welling borrowed $1,000,000
on May 1, from Bub’s Bank for 10 years at 10 percent to
finance the construction. The loan is related to the
construction project and the company uses the specific interest
method to compute the amount of interest to capitalize.

Slide 32
Interest Capitalization
Since the $1,000,000 of specific borrowing is sufficient to
cover the $337,500 of average accumulated expenditures
for the year, use the specific borrowing rate of 10 percent to
determine the amount of interest to capitalize.
Interest = AAE × Specific Borrowing Rate × Time
Interest = $337,500 × 10% × 8/12 = $22,500
The loan, initiated on May 1, is
outstanding for 8 months of the year.
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 33
Interest Capitalization
If Welling had not borrowed specifically for this construction
project, it would have used the weighted-average interest
method. The weighted average interest rate on other debt
would have been used to compute the amount of interest to
capitalize. For example, if the weighted-average interest
rate on other debt is 12 percent, the amount of interest
capitalized would be:
Interest = AAE × Weighted-average Rate × Time
Interest = $337,500 × 12% × 8/12 = $27,000
McGraw-Hill /Irwin
Slide 34
Interest Capitalization
If specific new borrowing had been insufficient to
cover the average accumulated expenditures . . .
. . . Capitalize this
portion using the 12
percent weightedaverage cost of debt.
. . . Capitalize this
portion using the 10
percent specific
borrowing rate.

Research and Development (R&D)
Research
• Planned search or critical investigation aimed at
discovery of new knowledge . . .
Development
• The translation of research findings or other
knowledge into a plan or design . . .
Most R&D costs are expensed as incurred. (Must be
disclosed if material.)


R&D costs incurred under contract for other companies
are expensed against revenue from the contract.
Operational assets used in R&D should be capitalized if
they have alternative future uses.

Slide 36
Software Development Costs
SFAS No. 86
 All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility
of a computer software product are treated as R&D and
expensed as incurred.
 Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established
and before the software is available for release to
customers are capitalized as an intangible asset.
