TRUE-FALSE—Conceptual
1. Assets classified as property, plant, and equipment can be either acquired for use in
operations, or acquired for resale.
2. Assets classified as property, plant, and equipment must be both long-term in nature and
possess physical substance.
3. When land with an old building is purchased as a future building site, the cost of removing
the old building is part of the cost of the new building.
4. Insurance on equipment purchased, while the equipment is in transit, is part of the cost of
the equipment.
5. Special assessments for local improvements such as street lights and sewers should be
accounted for as land improvements.
6. Variable overhead costs incurred to self-construct an asset should be included in the cost
of the asset.
7. Companies should assign no portion of fixed overhead to self-constructed assets.
8. When capitalizing interest during construction of an asset, an imputed interest cost on
stock financing must be included.
9. Assets under construction for a company’s own use do not qualify for interest cost
capitalization.
10. Avoidable interest is the amount of interest cost that a company could theoretically avoid if
it had not made expenditures for the asset.
11. When a company purchases land with the intention of developing it for a particular use,
interest costs associated with those expenditures qualify for interest capitalization.
12. Assets purchased on long-term credit contracts should be recorded at the present value of
the consideration exchanged.
13. Companies account for the exchange of non-monetary assets on the basis of the fair
value of the asset given up or the fair value of the asset received.
14. When a company exchanges non-monetary assets and a loss results, the company
recognizes the loss only if the exchange has commercial substance.
15. A government grant generally subsidizes a company by transferring resources to that
company.
16. When a company acquires an asset through a government grant, the asset’s cost is zero
so the cost recorded is the direct cost, such as legal fees, incurred.
17. Assets acquired through government grants are generally recorded at fair value.

18. When an asset acquired through a government grant is recorded on the books, equity will
increase by the cost of the asset.
19. IFRS requires the income approach to account for assets received through government
grants.
20. Under IFRS, all gains on non-monetary exchanges are recognized, regardless of whether
the transaction has commercial substance or not.
21. The fair value of an asset acquired through a government grant can be recorded as
deferred revenue and recognized as income over the life of the asset.
22. One way of recognizing a government grant is to deduct the grant from the carrying
amount of the assets received from the grant.
23. Costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of an asset are capitalized if it is probable
that the company will obtain future economic benefits.
