Problem 9
You start the construction of a building on March 1st, 2012 and finish it on September 1st, 2014. The
accumulated cost on the self-constructed asset on December 31, 2012 is $450,000.
A one-year note payable was issued on April 1, 2012 to finance the construction. The principal is
$500,000 and market interest rate is 6%.
On January 2013, additional costs of $700,000 related to the construction of the asset were incurred.
Assume a December 31st accounting year-end.
Required
1) Determine the amount of interest capitalized on the self-constructed asset in 2012 (amount
already included in the $450,000 balance).
2) Determine the interest to be capitalized in 2013 and the ending balance of the “self- constructed
asset” on December 31, 2013.
Problem 10
Construction began on February 1, 2013 and was completed on March 31, 2014. The balance of the
self-constructed asset on December 31, 2013 was $150,667. The total direct costs incurred on the
construction during 2014 were $120,000. To finance the construction, the company issued a two-year
note payable of $70,000 on May 1, 2013. The interest rate is 10%.

Problem 9
1) Interest on the note has run from April 1 to December 31, 2012 (the construction was
ongoing at that time). Interest of 9 months was capitalized.
Calculation: $500,000 x 6% x 9/12= $22,500
2) Interest capitalized in 2013 is for the period January 1, 2013 to April 1st, 2013
(maturity date of the note).
Calculation: $500,000 x 6% x 3/12= $7,500
Problem 10
1) Interest capitalized on the note in 2013 is from May 1st (date of note issuance) to
December 31, 2012. Total amount = $70,000 x 10% x 8/12= $4,667 (this amount is
included in the $150,667 on December 31, 2013).
2) Interest capitalized in 2014 is from January 1st, 2014 to March 31st, 2014 (end of the
construction): = $70,000 x 10% x 3/12 = $1,750
Total asset cost on March 31, 2014 = $150,667 + 120,000 + 1,750 = $272,417
(a)
Accounting standards require that the following two recognition criteria be satisfied when
recognizing an item of PP&E: (1) it is probable that the item’s associated future economic
benefits will flow to the entity, and (2) its cost can be measured reliably. Playtime’s new
piece of equipment will be used to produce a new toy which is expected to be very popular
and generate sales and cash flows, therefore criteria (1) is satisfied. The cost of the
equipment will be reliably measurable (based on purchase price), therefore criteria (2) is
satisfied. The new piece of equipment satisfies both recognition criteria, and should be
recognized and capitalized as an item of PP&E.

Under IFRS, the parts of PP&E with relatively significant costs are capitalized and
depreciated separately. Considering that each significant part is separable and may be
replaced, the injection unit, clamping unit, and electrical equipment should each be
capitalized as asset components and depreciated separately. Assuming that the cost of each
part in the group of other parts is not relatively significant, the group of other parts should
be capitalized and depreciated as one component.
(c)
Under ASPE, the costs of significant separable components are allocated to those parts
when practical, but in practice, this has not been done to the same extent as required under
IFRS. For example, under ASPE, Playtime may record the purchase of the equipment
without asset componentization, in which case, the total cost of the equipment would be
recorded in the Equipment account as one asset, and depreciation would be calculated
based on the useful life of the entire piece of equipment.
IFRS
Under IFRS, capitalization of construction costs stops when the item is in the location and
condition necessary for it to be used as management intended, even if it has not begun to
be used.
ASPE
Under ASPE, capitalization of construction costs stops when the asset is substantially
complete and ready for productive use, as predetermined by management. It is likely that
the amount of variable overhead costs allocated based on direct labour hours would also
be increased.
Note: For PP&E assets, only directly attributable costs are capitalized. The president's
salary is a fixed cost, thus the allocation is not directly traceable and not eligible
for capitalization.
$785,000
Capitalization rate = = 14.27%
$5,500,000
The avoidable borrowing costs would be capitalized as part of the cost of the
building under IFRS.
Under ASPE, interest costs directly attributable to the construction of the building
would be capitalized if that is the accounting policy used by the entity. However,
the company could also choose an accounting policy whereby such costs are
expensed under ASPE.

1. Land .................................................................... 92,000
Revenue -- Government Grants .................. 92,000
Under IFRS, the fair value of the asset(s) acquired should be used to measure
acquisition cost, and it is presumed that this value can be determined except in rare
cases.
Note: For PP&E assets, only the directly attributable costs are capitalized. Since
fixed overhead is generally not directly attributable, but rather allocated on some
rational basis, the fixed overhead applied of $39,200 (70% x $56,000) is generally
expensed rather than capitalized. Any lost revenue attributed to the down time
during construction is not realized and should not be recorded.
EXERCISE 10-4
(a)
(b)
Under IFRS, borrowing costs are defined as “interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection
with the borrowing of funds”, and borrowing costs incurred on qualifying assets must be capitalized.
ASPE is more restrictive and includes only interest costs in the definition of borrowing costs. Under
ASPE, interest costs may be capitalized or expensed, depending on the accounting policy used by the
entity.
(c)
Capitalization of borrowing costs related to a qualifying asset results in higher net income and total assets
in the period(s) of construction (since capitalization of borrowing costs results in lower interest expense
and finance expense in those period(s), and depreciation expense would not begin until the asset is
available for use). In the periods after construction is complete, and the asset is in the location and
condition necessary for use as management intended, net income would be lower than if borrowing costs
were initially expensed. This is because the capitalized interest (included in the asset account) would be
depreciated along with the construction cost of the related asset in those periods. A potential investor
who may analyze the company’s profitability, and compare the company’s net income to the net income
reported by competitor companies should consider the effect of capitalization of borrowing costs on the
subject company’s financial statements.
(d)
Errors are most easily made distinguishing between land and land improvements purchases. Land does
not depreciate but land improvements, because of their limited useful lives, must be depreciated. An error
charging a land improvement to land would cause an increase in income for the duration of the land
improvement’s useful life and an increase in assets as long as the land is owned. Similarly, if there is an
amount charged to building, rather than the land account it would cause an decrease in income each year
(relating to an overstatement of annual depreciation expense) and a decrease to assets as long as the land
is owned.

Acquisition of Asset 3
Use the cash price as a basis for recording the asset with a discount recorded on the note.
The difference between the $25,000 notes payable and the sum of the two instalment payments of
$15,000 each will be amortized to interest expense over the two years using the effective interest method.
The exchange lacks commercial substance and is considered non-monetary. Because the exchange lacks
commercial substance, the cost of the asset received is recorded at the carrying amount of the asset(s)
given up, which is adjusted for the inclusion of any cash or other monetary assets. No gain is triggered
on the exchange.
Acquisition of Asset 5
Under IFRS, the fair value of the office equipment acquired should be used to measure its acquisition
cost.

(a) (continued)
The asset-specific debt was $600,000, however, the avoidable interest cost is calculated by capping the
debt at weighted-average accumulated expenditures ($432,500 in this case). The weighted expenditures
are less than the amount of specific borrowing; the specific borrowing rate is used.
Borrowing costs to be capitalized = Total avoidable borrowing costs – investment income (resulting from
investment of idle funds) = $51,900 – $4,600 = $47,300
Note: Private entities that choose to apply ASPE have the choice of either capitalizing or expensing the
interest costs related to the acquisition, construction, or development of qualifying assets.
(b)
Under ASPE, interest costs directly attributable to the construction of the building would be capitalized
if that is the accounting policy used by the entity. However, the company could also choose an
accounting policy whereby such costs are expensed under ASPE.
(c)
A two-year, zero-interest-bearing instalment note with a face value of $30,000 was given in exchange
for machinery, Asset 3. The remaining outstanding liability on the purchase is $25,000 (total cash
equivalent purchase price of $35,000 less down payment of $10,000).
The GST is excluded because it is recoverable. The $500 storage cost is not included in the cost of the
equipment since it was not a required cost to bring the equipment to the location and to make it
operational. The additional $3,000 labour and $2,000 material costs before the machine operated at full
capacity are inventory production costs incurred after the equipment was in a condition to operate as
management intended and they, along with the sales of $5,500, are excluded. Lastly, the borrowing costs
of $800 were not incurred to finance the acquisition, construction, or development of a qualifying asset—
one that requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
Interest charges paid on “deferred credit terms” to the supplier of the manufacturing plant (not a
qualifying asset under IAS 23 capitalization of borrowing costs) of $200,000 and operating losses before
commercial production amounting to $400,000 are not regarded as directly attributable costs and thus
cannot be capitalized. They should be expensed to the income statement in the period they are incurred.

If the company chooses to measure the investment property under the fair value model it will have to
recognize in net income or loss, for each period, changes in fair value from year to year. Thus, the impact
on net income or loss for the various years would be summarized as follows:
Carrying
Value before
Cost adjustment Fair Value Net income
Year (millions) (millions) (millions) (loss)
2017 $50 $50 $50 $0
2018 50 60 10
2019 60 63 3
2020 63 58 (5)
If the company decided to measure the investment property under the cost model it would have to account
for it under IAS 16 using the cost model prescribed under that standard (which requires that the asset be
carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses). According to
IAS 16, when investment property is measured under the cost model, the fluctuations in the fair value of
the investment property from year to year are not recorded and thus would have no effect on net income.
Instead, depreciation will be the only charge to net income or loss for each period (unless there is
impairment, which will also be a charge to the net income or loss for the year). In addition, the building
should be componentized into its major components if they have relative significant costs and/or differing
useful lives or depreciation patterns. However, in this question, not enough information is given to
separate the building into its component parts, thus only one buildings account has been used.
(a)
The cost model in IAS 16 requires the asset to be depreciated over its useful life using a method that
corresponds to how Nevine receives the economic benefits the asset offers. The annual straight-line
depreciation is calculated as follows:
The original acquisition cost would have been allocated as follows since Nevine is using the cost model
and thus must depreciate the shopping centre components:
Land 25% $2,700,000
Building 75% 8,100,000
100% $10,800,000
Note that the fair value of the investment property must be disclosed in the financial statements, even if
the cost model is used.
On May 31, 2017 the property is written down to its fair value at that date of $10,500,000. On May 31,
2018 and 2019, the asset account is adjusted to $10,300,000 and $11,000,000 respectively. Changes in
the fair values are recognized in income statement profit or loss and the property is reported on the
statement of financial position at its fair value at each statement of financial position date. The following
entries are made:
The cost of the investment property on June 2, 2016 is the acquisition cost of $10,800,000. If a statement
of financial position were prepared shortly after that date, for example on June 5, 2016, what amount
would be reported under the fair value model? Because fair value does not include transaction costs, the
fair value would exclude the legal ($300,000) and survey and transfer fees ($500,000) added into the cost
of the asset. Its fair value at that time is $10,000,000 and a loss of $10,800,000 – $10,000,000 = $800,000
would be recognized. At May 31, 2017 a gain of $10,500,000 – $10,000,000 = $500,000 would be
reported instead of a $300,000 loss.
(a)
IAS 16 paragraphs 31-42 require that asset revaluation surpluses be prepared on an individual asset basis
(reference is made to the revaluation of asset items, not asset classes as a group). This is consistent with
the application of the LCNRV rule for inventory which must be applied on an item-by-item basis.
