Test your knowledge on International Accounting Standards, including asset recognition, depreciation methods, and treatment of research costs as per IAS 16 and IAS 38.
All assets having a known useful life should be depreciated
Assets should be recognised in the balance sheet at their carrying amount
Assets should be depreciated by systematically allocating their depreciable amount over their useful life
The carrying amount of an asset is the value recognised in the accounts after deducting depreciation and impairment losses
Rate this question:
Always use 25% diminishing balance unless there is a good reason not to
The method which best reflects way we use up the value of the asset over its expected useful life
If the residual value is negligible you can ignore it when calculating the depreciable amount
Useful life and and residual value should be reviewed annually and any changes reported according to IAS 8
When determining useful life, expected usage and expected physical wear and tear must be considered
Rate this question:
Control, marketability, materiality
Completion of development, control, identifiability
Control, identifiability, economic benefits
Intention to complete development, economic benefits, identifiability
Rate this question:
All research costs should be written off at the time they are incurred in line with the Prudence Concept.
Revenue costs are treated as expenses on the Income Statement whereas Capital costs are treated as Non-current Assets
Rate this question:
Intention to complete, technically feasible, usefulness or marketability
Control, technically feasible, usefulness
Sufficient resources to enable completion, cost can be reliably measured, how economic benefits will be achieved
Identifiability, cost can be reliably measured, control

Rate this question:
Carrying amount
Recoverable amount
Market value in an arm's length transaction
Rate this question:
It is not economically viable to work out the future cash inflows from an individual asset
Materiality
Because individual assets often don't create cash inflows on their own
Rate this question:
Revaluation loss

At inception, PV of minimum lease payments is substantially all of the FV of the asset
Lessor is responsible for repairs
Ownership transferred at end of lease
Lessee has option to purchase at end of lease at price so much lower than Fair Value it is almost certain they will exercise the option
