					 Depreciation charges shall be such that the loss in service value of the
					 property shall be distributed proportionately over the property's service life.
					 The depreciation rates shall be reviewed periodically and adjusted as required,
					 so that the depreciation accrual will bear a reasonable relationship to the

					 accumulated depreciation subaccount for each depreciable plant account and
					 plant subaccount.

					 insofar as practicable, of assets, liabilities, revenues and
					 expenses.
(b) The radio-telephone

(a)
					 When an item of radio-telephone utility plant is retired, account 104,
					 Accumulated Provision for Depreciation of Radio-telephone Plant, shall be
					 charged and the appropriate plant accounts shall be credited with the entire
					 recorded original cost of plant retired regardless of the amount of
					 depreciation which has been accumulated for this particular item of plant,
					 except as provided in subdivision (b) which follows. Account 104, Accumulated
					 Provision for Depreciation of Radio-telephone Plant, shall also be charged with
					 the costs of removal of retired plant, and shall be credited with the salvage
					 value, sales price or other amounts recovered from plant retired.
(b) In rare instances, the unexpected early
					 retirement of a major unit of property which would eliminate or seriously
					 deplete the existing accumulated depreciation may require accounting treatment
					 which differs from that described in subdivision (b) above. In such instances
					 the commission may authorize or order the loss on retirement, less any tax
					 savings, to be charged directly to account 413, Extraordinary and Delayed
					 Items--Net, or to account 117, Deferred Debits, and amortize in future periods.
					 Such accounting treatment shall be used only when specifically authorized or
					 directed by the commission.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
Lists of items appearing in the texts of the accounts or
						elsewhere herein are for the purpose of more clearly indicating the application
						of the prescribed accounting. The lists are intended to be representative, but
						not exhaustive. The appearance of an item in a list warrants the inclusion of
						the item in the account mentioned only when the text of the account also
						indicates inclusion inasmuch as the same item frequently appears in more than
						one list. The proper entry in each instance must be determined by the texts of
						the accounts.

					 show the general nature of the transactions, the amounts involved therein and
					 the amounts included in each account prescribed herein with respect to such
					 transactions. Transactions with associated companies shall be recorded in the
					 appropriate accounts for transactions of the same nature. Nothing herein
					 contained, however, shall be construed as restraining the company from
					 subdividing accounts for the purpose of recording separately transactions with
					 associated companies.

					 clearing account is not maintained for each associated company in which all
					 gross charges by that company are entered and from which they are distributed,
					 all charges of any nature whatsoever by any associated company shall be
					 credited at the gross amounts involved to a subaccount for that company under
					 the appropriate subdivisions of accounts 160, Long-term Debt, and 175, Other
					 Current Liabilities, even though immediately transferred to an account for
					 capital stock, proprietary capital, or other liability. In like manner, in the
					 absence of clearing accounts, all gross charges to any associated company shall
					 be debited to a subaccount for that company under the appropriate subdivisions
					 of accounts 103, Nonutility Property and Other Assets, and 115, Other Current
					 Assets, even though immediately transferred to an investment account or other
					 asset.
(c) Dividends, rebates, or
					 earnings from associated companies or mutual service companies, representing
					 refunds of the excess charges made by such companies over the cost to them,
					 shall be debited to account 115, Other Current Assets, and shall be credited so
					 far as practicable to the same accounts to which the corresponding charges were
					 made, including proper distinction between construction and operating expenses.
