Conceptual framework: Para 6.22-6.33
AASB: 116 Para 15
For the measurement of fair value of property, plant and equipment, it is important to consider the applicable standard provided by the AASB. The applicable standard under this case will be AASB 116. This standard outlines the accounting treatment for property, plant and equipment (AASB 116.Property Plant and Equipment, 2016).
In this case, Maple Ltd acquired a land in 2007 for $200 000 and the cost of building the factory was $520 000. Thus, as per the above provision, the total cost of factory will be the sum of $ 20 000 00 + $520 000 = 25 20 000. The carrying value the factory at 30 June 2017 was 10 00 000. The accumulated impairment of the factory as per the standard would be 15 00 000.
The subject matter of the valuation in this case will be the land which was previously acquired for factory. However, due to its residential location the factory needed to be demolished at a certain cost for making it fit for residences.
AASB 16 does not lay down any specific unit of measure for recognition as to what constitutes property, plant, and equipment. However, if we use the cost model for valuation each part of the physical asset must be depreciated separately that is in significant relation to the total cost of the asset. The standard also recognises that some parts physical asset may require to be replaced at regular intervals by inspections for any faults. The carrying amount will also comprise of cost of replacing and inspecting the part of such an asset.
Revaluations of the asset must be regularly carried out based on market projection. The carrying amount of an asset must not materially differ from its fair value at the balance sheet. The market for such asset will be any market participant which can make use of the asset better than its present use. ( AASB 13. Fair Value Measurement, 2016).
These non-current assets are initially measured at the cost of acquiring the asset and all the cost associated with bringing the asset into workable condition. Subsequently, these types of assets are measured by either the cost method or the revaluation model, and are amortized depreciated in a way so that the depreciable amount is allocated over asset’s estimated useful life systematically on regular basis. The impairment losses arising due to the reduction in its fair value, is recognized separately in the profit and loss statement.
Conceptual framework: CF 6.6
AASB: 136
The specified account deals with Impairment of assets. Para 5 of the standard specifies that as per provision of other accounting standard as revaluation model of AASB 116 Property, Plant and equipment; impairment is assessed in accordance with the fair value. In sub point b of Para it has been provided that after applying revaluation requirement; an organization will apply this standard for ascertaining whether asset is impaired or not (AASB 136. Impairment of Assets, 2016). Further Para 58 to 64 deals with measurement and accounting of impairment loss.
In present case Peewee Ltd has acquired two assets A & B and further sold asset C. The company has revalued the asset at the end of year 2017 and 2018. Thus, it has been assessed that whether the assets are impaired or not and journal entry relating to same have been provided below.
Calculations:
Depreciation of Machine A
= Cost of Machine / Expected useful life
= $100000/5
=$20000
Depreciation of Machine B
= $60000/3
= $20000
Revaluation Surplus on Machine A
Fair value – Book Value (after depreciation) (Zakaria and et.al.2014)
= $84000 -$80000
$4000
Impairment loss on Machine B
Fair value of Machine – Fair value – Book Value (after depreciation)
= $38000 -$40000
=-$2000

AASB: 138 Para 48 to 50
The AASB 138 states that the internally generated goodwill must not be treated as an asset. There are certain cases where, the expenditure incurred for generating future economic benefits, does not result in any creation of intangible asset which fully meet the criteria of recognition provided in this Standard. It has been specified in Para 48 to 50 that such expenditure is often described as contributing to internally generated goodwill. The reason behind this provision is that the internally generated goodwill is not a separately identifiable resource.
The main issue in this case is that when intangible assets are treated as internally generated rather than being accounted as acquired, a lot of differences arise in its cost and impairment value.
Para 65 to 67 specifies the provisions relating to cost of internally generated intangible asset. Though, sometimes it is difficult to ascertain that whether an intangible asset that is internally generated qualifies for recognition due to
Therefore, apart from conforming to the general requirements for the assets’ recognition and initial measurement, the entity also applies other requirements and guidance provided by the standards to all intangible assets generated internally. For assessing whether the asset meets the criteria to be recognized as an internally generated intangible asset, an entity has to classify the generation of the asset into two phases-
A research phase- There is no recognition to any intangible asset that arises from the research phase of an internal project. Expenditure on any research activity is recognised as an expense in the year when it is incurred (Yao and et.al.2015). This is because during this phase an entity cannot exhibit that the intangible asset will make economic benefits in the future.
A development phase- The asset arising from the developmental phase can be recognized only when there is a surety of it being completed for further use and will deliver some king of economic benefit to the entity.
In accordance with AASB 3, Business Combinations, if intangible assets like any goodwill or patents are acquired through a business combination, its fair values serves as the cost at the date of acquisition. This fair value reflects expectations of market participants about the possibility of future economic benefits that the asset will offer to the entity at the acquisition date. On the other hand, the fair value of internally generated intangible asset are considered only after the asset meets some criteria at the development stage and is cost is capable of being separated from other expenses. The fair value in the latter case would be the expectations of market participants if the liability of the asset is transferred (AASB 138.Intangible Assets, 2016).
The main reason for reluctance in both the accounting treatment is that when an intangible asset is acquired to due to business combination or any other specified method, its useful life and future economic benefit are capable of being certain. Thus, the fair value can be calculated easily. As per views of Hoyle, Schaefer and Doupnik, (2015) on the other hand, if the asset is generated internally it may not be possible to separate the cost at the research phase; moreover, the useful life of asset may be difficult to calculate.

AASB 119 deals with provision relating to employee benefits. Further, provisions relating to defined benefit plans have been specified in Para 26 -31and recognition relating to same has been explained in Para 66 (AASB 119. Employee Benefit, 2016).
