Interest Capitalization

1. Determine applicable interest rate2. Determine the weighted average

expenditures (WAE)3. Determine avoidable interest4. Determine actual interest incurred5. Capitalize the lower of avoidable or

actual interest

Exercise 10-10

1. Situation 1- Determine the amount of interest to be capitalized

2. Situation 3 Determine the amount of interest to be capitalized

Lump Sum purchases

Allocate the price paid in relation to the Fair Market Value of each asset.

1. E 10-13 – the land should be recorded at what cost?

2. E 10-13 – the building should be recorded at what cost?

Asset acquired for non interest bearing note – MUST be

discounted!

• E 10 – 14 Determine the cost at which the equipment should be recorded

Balance Sheet Presentation:

• Land, Goodwill at historical cost (unless written down for impairment)

• All other assets: Book value (BV):• Cost – accumulated depreciation (or

amortization or depletion)

Balance Sheet Presentation:

• Equipment 100,000• Less accumulated depreciation (54,000)• Equipment (net) $46,000• Or:Equipment (net) $46,000 (see note xx)

Disposal (Methods):

• Retire (junk) -- always loss• Sell -- gain or loss• Trade in (for similar) -- only loss

recognized, otherwise new asset shown at book value of old

A. New crane as $198; gain of $18B. New crane as $ 190; gain of 7C. New crane as $ 183; no gain/lossD. New crane as $ 183; loss of 7

Disposal:

• Get cost and accumulated depreciation off the books

• Determine gain or loss• Gain (Loss): Cash received – Book value

(cost – accumulated depreciation)

Disposal:

• Example:
