Question

Surat Limited paid cash to acquire an aircraft on January 1, 2017, at a cost of 31,630,000 rupees. The aircraft has an estimated useful life of 50 years and no salvage value. The company has determined that the aircraft is composed of three significant components with the following original costs (in rupees) and estimated useful lives:

Component	Cost	Useful Life
Fuselage	11,300,000	50	years
Engines	15,200,000	40	years
Interior	5,130,000	30	years
	31,630,000

The U.S. parent of Surat does not depreciate assets on a component basis, but instead depreciates assets over their estimated useful life as a whole.

Assume that a foreign company using IFRS is owned by a company using U.S. GAAP. Thus, IFRS balances must be converted to U.S. GAAP to prepare consolidated financial statements. Ignore income taxes.

Required:

1. a. Prepare journal entries for this aircraft for the years ending December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, under (1) IFRS and (2) U.S. GAAP.

2. b. Prepare the entry(ies) that the U.S. parent would make on the December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, conversion worksheets to convert IFRS balances to U.S. GAAP.
