Description

This course will cover plant assets, fixed assets, and depreciable assets. It will also discuss what property plant and equipment is as well as how to record it. This course also includes multiple depreciation methods. Pros and cons of each depreciation method will be discussed.

This course aids in calculating accumulated depreciation and book value. We will also calculate accumulated depreciation and book value. It’s critical to remember the context we are in when calculating depreciation and the reason behind it.

We will discuss depreciation methods like the straight-line method of depreciation which is the simplest method to calculate and the one which all other methods are based off, then the double-declining depreciation method which is an accelerated method. It is designed to depreciate more in earlier years than in later years, then the units of production depreciation method utilizes units produced rather than time as the derivation of cost allocation.

We will also discuss the journal entries for property plant and equipment beginning with the most straightforward transaction and building up from there and we will include changes in accounting estimations for the calculation of depreciation and the best way to account for them.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
