Question C: Purpose of depreciation
The purpose of depreciation is majorly to achieve the matching principle of the accounting.
When the historical cost of the productive asset is matched to the sales earned while using the
asset. According to IAS 16 “Property plant and equipment”, the cost of the asset is allocated over
the years as it becomes very cumbersome to match the same with the existing principle. The
steady rate of depreciation is taken into consideration, over the useful life of an asset, so that the
proper linkage can be made between the revenue and the expenses. The depreciation is shown in
the profit and loss account to present the right state of the profitability. The depreciation is a non-
cash expense but it is also accounted for the tax purposes hence, it is necessary to calculate the
depreciation. When the correct profit and loss is arrived at the right information is distributed to
the users of the reports, so that they can make the strategic business decisions (Mgbame, 2016).
Question D: Cost model v/s revaluation model for measurement of property plant and
equipment subsequent to its initial recognition.
Under the cost model, the valuation of the asset is done on the basis of net book value which is
calculated as cost less accumulated depreciation. On the other hand, the revaluation model which
is also termed as fair value. However, the valuation of the non-current assets is carried at a
revalued amount less depreciation. Under the cost model, the revaluations is not carried on the
regular basis, whereas under the revaluation model, revaluation should be carried out on a
constant basis, so that carrying amount of an asset does not have a major gap from its originally
cost and the fair value. Under the revaluation model, the reliability can be figured out using the
fair value of the property plant and equipment (Mgbame, 2016).

Impact on the financial statements
In order to reflect the pattern precisely, the cost model is implemented and this describes the
more appropriateness while preparing the financial statements. When the cost model is applied,
the carrying amount is also included by calculating as the cost less depreciation less accumulated
impairment losses.
The increase with respect to the revaluation is shown in the income statement whereas in case of
the decrease of the value, the same is treated as an expense. Under the revaluation model the
calculation of the carrying amount is figured out by revalued amount less accumulate
depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses (Drews, et al 2017).
