DEPRECIATION
Land and building are shown at cost. Consecutive prices are encompassed in the asset’s carrying number or recognised as a distinct asset, as appropriate, merely after it is probable that upcoming commercial benefits associated alongside the item will flow to the group and the price of the item can be measured reliably. All repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement across the commercial era in that they are incurred.
Accumulated depreciation
– Buildings 20-40 years
– Owned and leased plant and equipment 3-20 years
– Furniture, fittings and equipment 3-20 years
Land has not been depreciated. Building, plant and equipment and furniture, fittings and equipment have been depreciated using the straight-line method. This method has been used to allocate the assets’ cost net of their residual values and over the period of their estimated useful lives.
