136. Explain the appropriate accounting method used to account for lump sum purchases of a group of operational assets? Answer: Such purchases require that the lump sum price be allocated among the assets acquired so that each may be accounted for individually in subsequent periods. To do so, the relative values of the assets acquired form a pro rated allocation of the lump sum cost. The rationale is that there is an implicit discount for the lump sum purchase that is divided among the individual items as a proportion of their own values.

141. Why would an oil company argue to use the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration costs? Answer: Under the full-cost method, oil and gas exploration costs are capitalized, whether or not the specific well explored is successful in finding reserves. The basis for this is that the exploration program is the unit of investment, a portfolio of exploration efforts, and the success of the program, not individual wells is the relevant basis for developing assets (reserves). The full-cost method tends to be favored by smaller companies, whose smaller numbers of explorations naturally give it less diversification that a large company can generate by its exploration program. These companies argue that they are disadvantaged in the capital market by having to use the same accounting as the larger, more diversified companies. Learning Objective: 1 Level of Learning: 3
