The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
assets are those borrowing costs that would have been
avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying assets had not
been made .
Example
Mega limited is engaged in the production of power generation plants
,which is to be used by the company.
The company borrows funds for the construction of this plants Rs.
20,000,000 @ 10%
The company wants to adopt the accounting treatment of interest expense
on such asset. What option are available to the company under IAS23,
borrowing costs .
Interest Expense = Rs. 20,000,000 @ 10% = Rs. 2,000,000
Bench Mark Treatment :
Rs. 2,000,000 is shown in Profit & Loss Account as an expense.
Allowed Alternative Treatment :

Example
Swan limited borrowed a loan from bank on 12 % per annum
amounting to Rs 1,000,000 for the construction of power
generation facilities of the company. The loan was
received on January 01 and utilized Rs. 300,000 on
Qualifying asset. On January 01, the company deposited
the remaining amount in the bank yielding interest @ 6 %.
Whole the amount is withdrawn and paid to contractor on
March 01. The company returned the loan to bank after 9
months i.e. on October 01 .You are required to calculate
the amount of borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.
Interest paid to bank Rs.
1,000,000 x 12% x 9/12. 90,000
less interest income
700,000 x 6% x 2/12
7,000
Borrowing cost eligible for capitalization 83,000
Capital expenditure barrowed
1,000,000
Add Borrowing cost eligible for capitalization 83,000
1,083,000
Capitalization Rate:
Total borrowing cost incurred
=
Weighted average borrowing outstanding during the year
X 100
Question
MCQ Pvt. Limited has the following loans outstanding as at December 31st 2005
Rs.
Loan – 1@ 6 % 300,000
Loan – 2 @ 8 % 200,000
Loan –3 @ 9 % 150,000

Total borrowing cost incurred
=
Weighted borrowing outstanding during the year
Rs. Interest
Loan – 1@ 6 % 300,000 18,000
Loan – 2 @ 8 % 200,000 16,000
Loan –3 @ 9 % 150,000 13,500
47,500
Capitalization Rate = 47,500 / 650,000 x 100 = 7.31%
x 100
