In case of overhauling will we treat that as a separate component so capitalise and depreciate it until next overhaul.
So if overhauling expense is 30000 after every 3 yrs
Asset Dr 30000
Cash Cr 30000
then we record depreciation of it for next 3 yrs
Dr Depreciation 10000
Cr Accumulated dep. 10000
At the end of 3 yrs when again overhauling gonna happen…….we derecognise the previous overhauling one by
Dr Accumulated dep 30000
Cr Asset 30000
and capitalize the next overhaul expense again.
Am i right sir?
Hi,
Yes, you are sort of right but the overhaul expense hasn’t been paid at the start. What we do is we just separate out the future cost from the total cost of the asset and depreciate it separately over its useful life.
Thanks
