Property plant and equipment, also known as plant assets, fixed assets, or depreciable assets is what we will cover.
We will discuss what property plant and equipment is and how to record property plant and equipment.
Multiple depreciation methods will be covered including the straight-line depreciation method, the double declining depreciation method, and the units of production depreciation method. We will discuss the pros and cons of each depreciation method and outline a format for structuring any deprecation problem.
While calculation depreciation expense we will also calculate accumulated depreciation and book value. It’s important to remember the context we are in when calculating depreciation, the reason for the work. Test questions often do not ask for the calculation of depreciation but for accumulated depreciation or the book value because these components take a little more time and understanding and to work out.
The straight-line method of depreciation is the easiest method to calculate and the method all other methods are derived from.
The double declining depreciation method in an accelerated method, designed to depreciate more in early years a less in later years.
The units of production depreciation method uses units produced rather than time as the driver of cost allocation.
We will discuss the difference between capital expenditures and revenue expenditures, and we will cover the disposal process of property plant and equipment.
When fixed assets are disposed of they may or may not be fully depreciated and we may or may not receive cash at the point of disposal. We will discuss the journal entries for property plant and equipment starting with the most straightforward transaction and building from there.
We will also cover changes in accounting estimates for the calculation of depreciation and how best to account for them.
Definitions and key terms related to property plant and equipment will be covered as well as a comprehensive problem.
In addition to the instructional videos, this course will include downloadable
• Downloadable PDF Files
• Excel Practice Files
• Multiple Choice Practice Questions
• Short Calculation Practice Questions
• Discussion Questions
The PDF files allow us to download reference information we can use offline and as a guide to help us work through the material.
Excel practice files will be preformatted so that we can focus on the adjusting process and learning some of the basics of Excel, like addition, subtraction, and cell relationships.
Multiple choice example question helps us improve our test-taking skills by reducing the information into the size and format of multiple choice questions and discussing how to approach these questions.
Short calculation questions help us reduce problems that have some calculation down to a short format that could be used in multiple choice questions.
Discussion Question will provide an opportunity to discuss these topics with the instructor and other students, a process many students find very helpful because it allows us to see the topic from different viewpoints.
