Section 13 measurement

18

Inventories in the scope of Section 13 are


measured at the lower of:
cost; and
estimated selling price less costs to
complete and sell (SP-CTC&S).

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 measurement exemptions

Section 13 does not apply to the


measurement of inventories of
producers of agricultural and forest
products, agricultural produce after
harvest, and minerals and mineral
products, or
commodity brokers and dealers
when measured at fair value less costs
to sell through profit or loss
2011 IFRS Foundation

19

Section 13 measurement examples

20

Are these inventories measured in


accordance with Section 13?
Ex 7*: A commodity broker-trader
acquires wheat in anticipation of selling
it in the short-term. The broker-trader
measures such inventories at fair value
less costs to sell
Ex 8*: Same as Ex 7 except the
brokertrader measures inventories at
cost
* see example with the same number in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 cost

21

Cost = costs of purchase + costs of


conversion + other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 cost of purchase

22

Cost of purchase = purchase price + import


duties + other taxes (non-refundable in nature)
+ other direct costs
costs of purchase is after deducting trade
discounts, rebates etc
if purchase arrangement effectively contains an
unstated financing element, eg a difference
between the purchase price for normal credit terms
and the deferred settlement amount, the difference
is recognised as interest expense over the period of
the financing (ie it is not added to the cost of the
inventories)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 examples cost of purchase 23


Ex 13*: A buys a good priced at CU500
per unit from Z. Z awards A a 20%
discount on orders of +100 units and
10% discount when A buys +999 units in
1 year. The discounts apply to all units
acquired in a year.
A buys as follows: 800 units on 1/1/20X1
and 200 units on 24/12/20X1.
On 31/12/20X1, 150 units were unsold (ie
inventories of A).
* see example 13 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 examples cost of purchase 24

Ex 13 continued:
A measures the cost of the inventories in 20X1 at
CU350,000 [ie 1,000 units (CU500 list price less
30%(CU500) volume discount)], because all units
purchased in the year get the full 30% discount.
A recognises:
expense (cost of sales) of CU297,500 [ie 850
units sold (CU500 list price less 30%(CU500)
volume discount)] in profit or loss in 20X1
asset (inventories) of CU52,500 [ie 150 units
unsold (CU500 less 30%(CU500) discount)] at
31/12/20X1.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 examples cost of purchase 25


Ex 17*: A buys inventory for
CU2,000,000 on 2year interestfree
credit. Appropriate discount rate = 10%
per year.
The cost of the inventory is CU1,652,893
(ie the present value of the future
payment).
Calculation: CU2,000,000 future payment
(1.1)2.
* see example 17 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 cost of conversion

26

Cost of conversion = direct costs +


indirect costs (allocated production
overheads)
allocated production overheads = fixed
production overheads + variable
production overheads

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 examples conversion costs27


Ex 18*: A makes concrete blocks in
reusable moulds. Blocks dry in a drying
room for 2 weeks. Dried blocks & raw
mats stored in separate rooms.
A front-end loader (man 1) adds materials to
the mixing machine operated by man 2.
Casual labourers remove blocks from
moulds. Man 3 supervises the factory. Man
4 does admin, finance and sales.
A operates from rented premises (fixed
payments).
* see example 18 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 examples conversion cost


Ex 18 continued:

28

Costs of conversion include


direct costs: casual labour.
production overheads: factory rent (incl.
raw mats area & drying room but excl.
finished goods room); staff cost of man
1,2 & 3; depreciation of equipment (front
end loader, mixing machine and moulds).
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 allocate production overheads 29


Allocate fixed production overheads on
normal capacity if low or normal
production
actual production (units) if abnormally
high production (so that inventory is not
measured above cost)
note: unallocated overheads are
expensed when incurred
Allocate variable production overheads
on actual production
2011 IFRS Foundation

30
Section 13 example FP overheads
Ex 20*: Fixed production (FP) overheads
= CU900,000. 200,000 units produced.
Normal capacity = 250,000 units.
Allocation rate: CU900,000 250,000 units
normal capacity = CU3.6 per unit produced.
Allocate to inventories: CU3.6 200,000
units = CU720,000.
Unallocated overheads of CU180,000 are
expense (ie CU900,000 less CU720,000 in
inventory).

* see example 20 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material


2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 example FP overheads

31

Ex 21*: Same as Ex 20 except 300,000


units produced. Normal capacity =
250,000 units.
Allocation rate: CU900,000 300,000 units
actual production = CU3 per unit produced.
Allocate to inventories: CU3 300,000
units = CU900,000
* see example 21 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

32
Section 13 example wastage
Ex 27*: Total costs of a production run =
CU100,000 (including a cost of normal
wastage of CU2,000). The weakening of
operating controls while the ownermanager was in hospital caused the
wastage of raw materials to increased to
CU7,000 per production run.
The abnormal wastage cost of CU5,000
(CU7,000 CU2,000) is not included in the
cost of inventory but recognised as an
expense.

* see example 27 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material


2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 joint and by-products

33

Production process results in more than one


product being produced simultaneously
joint product, or
main product and by-product.

Allocate joint costs on a rational and


consistent basis
If by-product is immaterial
measure by-product at selling price less costs
to complete and sell (SP-CTC&S)
deduct this amount from the cost of the main
product.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 example by-product

34

Ex 22*: A production process costs


CU100,000 (including allocated
overheads). It mixes base chemicals to
produce:
5,000 litres of product A (sales value =
CU250,000); and
1,000 litres of by-product C (sales value =
CU2,000).
Cost per litre of A = CU19.60 (ie
CU100,000 less CU2,000 SP of C) 5,000
litres = CU19.60.
* see example 22 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 example joint product

35

Ex 23*: Same as in Ex 22 except, instead


of byproduct C there is a joint product
B. Total costs = CU300,000 to produce:
5,000 litres of A (sales value =
CU250,000); and
4,000 litres of B (sales value =
CU400,000).
Allocate joint process costs on relative
sales values.
* see example 23 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 example joint product

continued36

Ex 23 continued:
Cost per litre of A = CU23.08 & B = CU46.15.
Calculation A: CU250,000 SP of A CU650,000
combined SP of A & B CU300,000 costs =
CU115,385 cost of 5,000 litres of A. CU115,385
5,000 litres = CU23.08.
Calculation B: CU400,000 SP of B CU650,000
combined SP of A & B CU300,000 costs =
CU184,615 cost of 4,000 litres of B. CU184,615
4,000 litres = CU46.15.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 other costs


37
Include other costs in the cost of
inventories only to the extent that they
are incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition.
Ex 25*: A manufactures individually
packaged pens.
The cost of the inventory includes the cost of
manufacturing the pens and the individual
packaging in which they are presented for
sale.
* see example 25 in Module 13 of the IFRS Foundation training material

Section 27 impairment of inventories 39


Assess at each reporting date whether
any inventories are impaired, by
comparing the carrying amount (CA) of
each item of inventory with its selling price
less costs to complete and sell (SPCTC&S)
if CA > SP-CTC&S reduce CA to SPCTC&S
that reduction = impairment loss
impairment loss = expense in profit or loss
2011 IFRS Foundation

40
Section 27 examples impairment
Ex 1: At reporting date
CA (cost) of raw materials = 100
replacement cost = 80
est. selling price of finished good = 200
est. costs to convert the raw material into
finished good = 60
est. costs to sell the finished good = 30

Ex 2: Same as Ex 1 except est. SP = 180


2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 impairment exception


Inventory is assessed for impairment item
by item
only if it is impracticable to determine SPCTC&S item-by-item may items of inventory:
relating to the same product line that have
similar purposes or end uses; and
that are produced and marketed in the same
geographical area
be grouped for the purpose of assessing
impairment.
2011 IFRS Foundation

41

Section 27 examples impairment


Ex 3: A has 3 items of inventory
(finished goods) that qualify for
impairment testing as a group
CA (cost) 90 + 100 + 130 = 320
est. SP-CTC&S for the 3 items = 330

42

Ex 4: Same as Ex 3 except
items do not qualify for impairment testing
as a group; and
est. SP-CTC&S = 110 each.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 reversal of impairment

43

Reverse the impairment when:


circumstances that caused inventories to
be impaired no longer exist; or
there is clear evidence of an increase in
SP-CTC&S because of changed
economic circumstances
Amount of reversal is limited to the
amount of the original impairment loss
ie CA cannot be > cost
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 example reverse impairment 44


Ex 5: At 31/12/20X1
because of a decline in economic
circumstances recognised an impairment loss
on an item of inventory of 30 (ie cost = 100 &

SP-CTC&S = 70)
At 31/12/20X2
because of an improvement in economic
circumstance the SP-CTC&S of that item is
120
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 13 measurement judgements


For cost, examples include
determining normal capacity
separating normal & abnormal wastage

if no market for joint products at
separation
if multiple joint products and exit joint
production at different stages

Section 17 replacing parts

51

Parts that require replacement at regular


intervals (eg roof and furnaces lining)
add cost of replacement to the carrying
amount of the item if the replacement adds
benefits
if consumption pattern different, depreciate
component separately over its useful life
derecognise the parts replaced.
Day-to-day servicing costs = expense
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 17 exchange of assets

52

Cost of PP&E acquired in exchange for a


non-monetary asset = fair value unless
the transaction lacks commercial
substance
if fair value cannot be measured reliably,
cost = carrying amount of the asset given
up

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 17 cost
Cost of PP&E comprises:

53

purchase price (incl. fees, duties &


purchase taxes after deducting trade
discounts & rebates)
costs directly attributable to bring the PP&E
to location & condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating as intended by
management:
site prep. costs, delivery & handling,
installation & assembly, & testing
functions.
initial estimate of dismantling & removing
costs and site restoration.
2011 IFRS Foundation

54
Section 17 example cost
Ex 15*: Costs before ready for use as
intended:
purchase price = 600 (incl 50 refundable
purch tax)
costs 120 to get equip to site and to install
in 10 yrs must restore land (PV to restore =
100)
costs 135 to modify equip to operate as
intended
costs 10 to train staff to operate equip.
costs 37 for testing and final modifications
23 = operating loss after ready for use.

Section 18 intangibles in business


65
com
Intangible asset acquired in a bus com
is normally recognised as a separate asset
fair value can be measured reliably
however, not recognised when arises from
legal/contractual rights & fair value cannot
be measured reliably because the asset
either:
is not separable from goodwill; or
is separable but no history or evidence of
exchange transactions for similar assets,
and otherwise estimating fair value would
be dependent on immeasurable variables.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 18 initial measurement

66

Initial measurement of intangible = cost


if separately acquired, cost = purchase
price + directly attrib. cost of preparing for
intended use
if acquired in a business combination, cost
= at acquisition fair value
if acquired in government grant, cost = fair
value at the date the grant is received or
receivable
Internally generated intangibles are not
recognised & therefore are not measured

Section 27
Impairment of Assets

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 scope

75

Section 27 specifies accounting and


reporting of impairment losses of all assets
except:
deferred tax assets
assets arising from employee benefits
financial assets in scope of Sections 11 & 12
assets measured at fair value

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 general principles

76

Assets except inventories:


at reporting date assess whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired
if any such indication exists, estimate the
recoverable amount (RA) of the asset
impair if carrying amount (CA) > RA
recognise impairment loss in profit or loss
Note: if impairment indicated
review the remaining useful life, the
depreciation (amortisation) method or the
residual value for the asset even if no
impairment loss found
2011 IFRS Foundation

77
Section 27 impairment testing level
Impairment test at level of
individual asset (if possible)
otherwise cash-generating unit (CGU)
eg when need to calculate value in use
and the individual assets do not
generate cash flows by themselves

A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of


assets that generates cash inflows that are
largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or groups of assets.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 impairment indicators

78

Consider, as a minimum:
External sources of information in a period
assets market value declined significantly
> expected
significant changes in the technological,
market, economic or legal environment
market rates increased (eg effect on
discount rate)
CA of the net assets > estimated fair
value of the entity
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 impairment indicators

C
continued

79

Internal sources of information


obsolete or physical damaged asset
significant changes in the extent or manner
in which, an asset is (or is expected to be)
used
eg idle assets, plans to discontinue or
restructure operation, plans to dispose
before expected, and reassessing the
useful life of an asset as finite rather than
indefinite.
internal reporting indicates that the
economic performance of an asset is, or
will be, worse than expected (eg operating
results & cash flows)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 recoverable amount

80

Recoverable amount = higher of value in


use (VIU) & fair value less costs to sell
(FV-CTS)
if either VIU or FV-CTS > CA then no
need to determine the other
if no reason to believe VIU > FV-CTS,
then FV-CTS may be used as RA

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 estimating FV-CTS

81

FV-CTS = amount obtainable from the sale


of an asset in an arms length transaction
between knowledgeable, willing parties, less
the costs of disposal
best evidence is a price in a binding sale
agreement in an arms length transaction
or a market price in an active market
if not available, estimate using best
information available considering the
outcome of recent transactions for similar
assets within the same industry
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 estimating VIU

82

VIU = present value of the future net cash


flows expected to be derived from an asset.
Steps to calculate VIU:
estimate future cash flows (in & out) from
continuing use of the asset & its ultimate
disposal, and
apply appropriate discount rate to future
cash flows
2011 IFRS Foundation

83
Section 27 estimating VIU
Reflect in calculation of VIU:
est. future cash flows (FCFs) entity
expects
expectations about possible variations in
the amount or timing of those FCFs
time value of money (current market riskfree rate of interest)
price for uncertainty inherent in the asset
other factors (eg illiquidity) that market
participants would adjust for
Avoid double-counting in FCFs & discount
rate
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 est. VIU cash flows


Estimates of FCFs include:
cash inflows from the continuing use
cash outflows necessary to generate cash
inflows (directly attributed or allocated on
reasonable & consistent basis)
net cash flows, if any, expected from
disposal at end of useful life
May:
use recent budgets/forecasts to est. cash
flows
extrapolate beyond forecast period using
steady or declining growth rate, unless
another is justified
2011 IFRS Foundation

84

Section 27 est. VIU cash flows

continued

85

Est. FCFs for asset in current condition


Est. FCFs dont include in/outflows from:
a future restructuring to which an entity is
not yet committed, or
improving or enhancing the assets
performance.
Est. FCFs also dont include:
cash in/outflows from financing activities,
and
income tax receipts/payments.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 est. VIU discount rate

86

Discount rate/s is a pre-tax rate/s that


reflect/s current market assessments of:
the time value of money (ie current
market risk-free rate of interest); and
the risks specific to the asset for which
the future cash flow estimates have not
been adjusted (ie avoid double-counting).

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 cash generating unit (CGU) 87


Allocate impairment loss:
1st to any goodwill allocated to the CGU
2nd to other assets pro rata on the basis
CA of each asset in CGU
however, cannot reduce the CA of any
asset below the highest of 0, FV-CTS &
VIU (if determinable)
reallocate to other assets of CGU
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 example CGU impairment


Ex 1: At 31/12/20X1 CA of a CGUs
assets = 210 (ie 150 taxis, 50 taxi licence
& 10 goodwill)
Impairment indicated & RA = 170.
Fair value of taxis = 140.
Impairment loss = 40 (ie 210 CA less 170
RA)
1st allocate 10 loss to goodwill
2nd allocate remaining 30 loss, ie 22.5 to
taxis & 7.5 to licence (pro rata on CA)
3rd reallocate 12.5 loss from taxis to licence
2011 IFRS Foundation

88

Section 27 goodwill

89

On acquisition date goodwill is allocated to


each cash-generating unit that is expected
to benefit from the synergies of the business
combination
CA of partly-owned CGU is notionally
adjusted for the NCIs share of goodwill
before being compared with its RA

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 example goodwill


Ex 2: Goodwill of CU40 on As
acquisition of 75% of Bs shares on
1/1/20X1.

90

To reflect synergies the group allocated


the goodwill 10 to As CGU and 30 to Bs
CGU.
For impairment testing purposes only Bs
goodwill is notionally grossed up to 40 (ie
additional goodwill for NCI = 10).
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 goodwill continued

91

If goodwill cannot be allocated to CGU/s on


a non-arbitrary basis, then for the purposes
of testing goodwill for impairment, the entity
determines the recoverable amount of
either:
the acquired entity in its entirety (if
goodwill relates to an acquired entity that
has not been integrated).
the entire group of entities, excluding any
entities that have not been integrated (if
the goodwill relates to an acquired entity
that has been integrated).
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 reversing impairment loss

92

General principles:
at reporting date assess whether there is
any indication that impairment has
reversed
if any such indication exists, estimate RA
reverse impairment in profit or loss if CA <
RA, but
reversal cannot increase the CA above
the CA that would have been
determined (net of amortisation or
depreciation) had no impairment loss
been recognised in prior years.
goodwill impairment cannot be reversed
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 example reverse impairmt

93

Ex 3: Facts from Ex 1. At 31/12/20X2 CA


of CGU = 120 (ie 100 taxis & 20 licence)
Impairment reversal indicated & RA
estimated = 150
Potential impairment reversal = 30 (ie 150 RA
less 120 CA) but limited to 20 (as follows)
1st allocate to assets pro rata on CAs, ie 5 to
licence & 25 to taxis
2nd limit amt allocated to taxis to 7 (if no
impairment in 20X1, CA at 20X2 = 107)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 example reversal continued


94
Ex 3 continued:
3rd reallocate 18 reversal from taxis to
licence
Total reversal provisionally allocated to
licence = 23 (ie 5 + 18)
4th limit amt allocated to licences to 13 (if no
impairment in 20X1, CA at 20X2 = 33)
5th as there are no other assets to reallocate
the unallocated 10 (ie 23 less 13) reversal
to, limit the total impairment reversal to 20
(ie 7 for taxis and 13 for licence)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 27 after reversal


After reversing impairment loss
adjust the depreciation/amortisation
charge for the asset in future periods to
allocate the assets revised CA, less its
residual value (if any), on a systematic
basis over its remaining useful life.

2011 IFRS Foundation
