Study Notes

Investment Property - Government Accounting

  • Investment property is land or buildings (or part of a building or both) held to generate rental income, or for capital appreciation, or both.
  • Owner-occupied property is held for use in producing goods or services or for administrative purposes.

Cost Model - Initial and Subsequent Measurement

  • Investment property (IP) is initially measured at cost.
  • Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement.
  • Cost includes purchase price and directly attributable expenditures.

Acquisition - Cash Purchase

  • Example: Entity A buys land for ¥1,000,000. Professional fees and transfer taxes total ¥50,000.
  • Accounting entry: Debit Investment Property, Land ¥1,050,000; Credit Cash-Modified disbursement system (MDS), Regular ¥1,050,000.

Non-exchange Transaction

  • Example: Entity A receives a piece of land as an unconditional donation with a fair value of £2,000,000.
  • Accounting entry: Debit Investment Property, Land £2,000,000; Credit Income from Grants and Donations in Kind £2,000,000.

Self-Constructed Property

  • If IP is self-constructed (by contract or by administration), all costs are recognised as "Construction in Progress" until completion.
  • Upon completion, these costs are transferred to the "Investment Property" account when the recognition criteria are met.
  • Example: Entity A constructs a building for rent income. Contract price is P11,200,000. Advance payment is 15% of the contract price. Retention fee is 10% of the progress billing.

Transfer

  • Transfers to or from IP occur only when there's a change in use.
  • Examples include commencement of owner-occupation, development for sale, end of owner-occupation, or commencement of an operating lease.

Derecognition of Investment Property

  • IP is derecognised on disposal or when permanently withdrawn from use, with no future economic benefits.

Gains/Losses

  • Example: A building, held as IP, is sold for £5,000,000. Original cost was £4,000,000. Accumulated depreciation is £500,000. Impairment allowance is £100,000.
  • Accounting entries: Debit Cash-Collecting Officers £5,000,000; credit Investment Property, Buildings £4,000,000, credit Gain on the sale of investment Property £1,600,000, etc.

Compensation of 3rd Parties

  • Example: A building, held as IP, is destroyed by fire. Original cost was £4,000,000. Accumulated depreciation is £500,000. Impairment allowance is £100,000.
  • Accounting entries: Debit Loss of assets £3,400,000; credit Investment Property, Buildings £4,000,000, etc.

Due from Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations

  • Example: Receivable due from GSIS Insurance Fund is ¥1,500,000.
  • Accounting entries: Debit to an appropriate account; credit to Other Service Income.

Impairment

  • An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (due to a fall in market value).
  • Impairment loss = Carrying amount less Recoverable amount.
  • Recoverable amount = Higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use (present value of estimated future cash flows).

Adjusted Depreciation

  • Depreciation expense = Revised carrying amount - residual value / remaining estimated useful life.
  • Example: Investment property, buildings, less accumulated depreciation, impairment loss, and revised carrying amount.
  • Accounting entry: Debit Depreciation-Investment Property; credit Accumulated Depreciation-Investment Property, Buildings.

Reversal

  • Entities assess whether an impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or has decreased.
  • If so, they estimate the asset's recoverable amount.

Calculations (Examples from Slides)

  • Detailed calculations (e.g., for estimated reversal) are presented in the slides.
