Business Finance Homework Help

Entity E acquires an asset at January 1, 20X1 for CU100,000. At that date, the asset is estimated to have

a useful life of 20 years. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method. At the beginning of

20X3, the remaining useful life of that asset is re-estimated at 10 years. At the end of 20X5, the asset is

revalued (Entity E previously having determined that the fair value of the asset did not differ materially

from its carrying amount); its FV at that date is estimated to be CU84,000 and its gross carrying amount

is estimated to be CU150,000 (determined by reference to the FV of similar assets at the beginning of

their useful lives). Its estimated remaining useful life is unchanged.

Both at acquisition and subsequently, the asset is estimated to have a nil residual value.

Required (please provide your calculations. This will definitely help you with the grade in case an

excusable error is part of your solution) (email back to the professor):

1) For both US GAAP and IFRS, indicate the following amounts at the end of 20X5 (before the

revaluation and after the change in useful life):

US GAAP (Dr./Cr.) IFRS Dr./Cr.)

Gross carrying amount (4.525 pts. each)

Accumulated depreciation (4.525 pts. each)

Carrying amount (4.525 pts. each)

2) If Entity E selects the alternative under IAS 16:35(a) (disproportionate restatement) to restate

the gross carrying amount by reference to the observable market data, please provide the

journal entry to recognize this revaluation at the end of 20X5 after the change in useful life (4.55

pts. each):

3) Prepare the journal entry assuming Entity E chose to restate the gross carrying amount of the

asset proportionally to the change in carrying amount after the change in useful life (IAS

16:35(a)) (4.55 pts. each):

4) Prepare the journal entry assuming Entity E selected the alternative under IAS 16:35(b)

(elimination approach) after the change in useful life (4.55 pts. each):
