## ASC 360-910: Property, Plant, and Equipment — Contractors—Construction

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 360-910 was the construction-contractor-specific guidance on property, plant, and equipment, but every substantive paragraph (05-1, 15-1, 25-1, and 35-1) was superseded by Maintenance Update No. 2019-01. The subtopic is now an empty shell containing no operative recognition, measurement, or scope guidance. Contractors therefore apply the general PP&E guidance in ASC 360-10 (and, for contract accounting, ASC 606 and ASC 340-40).",
  "key_points": [
    "All four paragraphs of this subtopic (360-910-05-1, 360-910-15-1, 360-910-25-1, 360-910-35-1) were superseded by Maintenance Update No. 2019-01, leaving no operative guidance.",
    "Because no industry-specific PP&E rules remain for construction contractors, the general guidance in ASC 360-10 on recognition, depreciation, and impairment of long-lived assets applies.",
    "Superseded paragraph numbers are retained in the Codification as placeholders; a superseded paragraph may not be cited as authoritative support.",
    "Revenue and cost accounting for construction-type contracts is governed by ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 rather than by any remaining content in ASC 910.",
    "Maintenance Updates are non-substantive housekeeping changes, so the supersession here reflects cleanup of redundant guidance rather than a change in accounting outcomes."
  ],
  "categories": [
    "Inventory and PP&E",
    "Industry-specific",
    "Transition and effective dates"
  ],
  "audience_level": "introductory",
  "student_note": "Know that an empty subtopic is not a gap in GAAP — it means the general topic (here ASC 360-10) controls. The common mistake is citing a superseded paragraph number found in older textbooks as if it were still authoritative.",
