Worked-example setupScope and assumptions
  • All movement amounts and classifications are supplied and use one reporting currency.
  • The $20,000 reclassification removes gross PP&E, and the $5,000 currency effect reduces accumulated amounts.
  • The example verifies arithmetic and account roles; it does not approve the underlying recognition or valuation judgments.

Reconcile gross PP&E

Cedar Forge begins with $900,000 of gross PP&E. Additions include $120,000 paid in cash, $30,000 still owed, and a $15,000 noncash asset retirement cost. Gross additions are therefore $165,000. A disposal removes $100,000, and a supported reclassification removes another $20,000. Ending gross PP&E is $945,000.

$900,000 + $165,000 − $100,000 − $20,000 = $945,000

Reconcile accumulated amounts

Beginning accumulated depreciation and impairment is $300,000. Current movements add $80,000 of depreciation and $10,000 of impairment. The disposal removes $60,000, and the supplied currency effect removes $5,000. Ending accumulated amounts are $325,000.

$300,000 + $80,000 + $10,000 − $60,000 − $5,000 = $325,000

Ending net PP&E is $620,000: $945,000 gross less $325,000 accumulated. The addition bridge also matters. Only $120,000 of the $165,000 gross additions was paid in cash during the period. The remaining $45,000 is unpaid or noncash.

The schedules tie, but that result proves only the stated arithmetic. Reviewers still need evidence for recognition, measurement, dates, classification, and disclosure.
