Case study 28.2
Depreciation expense
At the beginning of the current period, Jessica Ltd sold a depreciable asset to its wholly owned
subsidiary, Amelie Ltd, for $80 000. Jessica Ltd had originally paid $200 000 for this asset, and at
time of sale to Amelie Ltd had charged accumulated depreciation of $150 000. This asset is used
differently in Amelie Ltd from how it was used in Jessica Ltd; thus, whereas Jessica Ltd used a 10%
p.a. straight-line depreciation method, Amelie Ltd uses a 20% straight-line depreciation method.
In calculating the depreciation expense for the consolidated group (as opposed to that recorded
by Amelie Ltd), the group accountant, Rui Xue, is unsure of which amount the depreciation rate
should be applied to ($200 000, $50 000 or $80 000) and which depreciation rate to use (10% or
20%).
Required
Provide a detailed response, explaining which depreciation rate should be used and to what
amount it should be applied.
For the group, depreciation of an asset transferred intragroup is based on the depreciation rate
applied by the entity using the asset and on the carrying amount of the asset at the moment of the
intragroup transfer.
Note that when an asset is transferred within the group, consolidation adjustments are not based on
just reversing the intragroup transaction. The purpose of the adjustments is to remove all the effects
of the intragroup transaction so that only the group’s position in relation to external entities is
reported. As the usage of the asset in the group has changed as a result of transfer within the group,
then the depreciation rate used by the group must reflect the actual consumption of benefits within
the group. This depreciation rate will then be applied to the carrying amount of the asset at the
moment of the intragroup transfer to get the depreciation expense for the asset from the group’s
perspective.
In this example, the carrying amount at the time of the intragroup transfer is $50 000 ($200 000
(original cost) - $150 000 (accumulated depreciation)). The asset is now being used by Amelie Ltd
which applies a 20% depreciation rate. Therefore, the depreciation expense from the group’s
perspective for the current period will be calculated as 20% multiplied by $50 000 (i.e. $10 000)
assuming that the asset was transferred intragroup on the first day of the current period. Given that
Amelie Ltd would have recognised a depreciation expense of 20% x $80 000 = $16 000, on
consolidation an adjustment is posted against the depreciation expense decreasing it by $6000 or 20%
of the profit on the intragroup transfer of $30 000 (i.e. $80 000 (price paid intragroup) - $50 000
(carrying amount at the moment of the intragroup sale)).
