    @AccountingStar My lecturer gave it to us. I’m not sure where she got it from.

    Thank you!

    One more thing, in the SoFP, should I add the accrued interest as a current liability? $6,666,667 for 2017 and $26,666,667 for 2018?
    Also, should we calculate borrowing cost from when the loan is received or when construction commences?

    Hello,

    Will the capitalized interest be in the SoFP as accrued interest (current liabilities) along with the amount in the SoCI?

    Thank you

    Hi again,

    Ok, so far I got $510 mil for the value of the asset (direct labour + direct materials + 50% overhead + capitalized borrowing cost).
    So for 2017, interest incurred for Mar 1 – Dec 31 is $16,666,667 and for Apr 1 – Sep 30 (capitalization period) is $10,000,000.
    Depreciation for Sep 30 – Dec 31 is $2,550,000.
    The finance cost is $6,666,667, the overhead expense is $100 mil and the carrying value is $507.45 mil. Loan value remains at $250 mil.

    As for 2018, interest incurred (finance cost) is $20,000,000 and depreciation is $10,200,000.
    Accumulated depreciation is $12.75 mil and carrying value is $497.25 mil

    I’m wondering if the interest is to be repaid in a single installment has any effect. We would still accrue yearly and should the other 50% of overhead cost be added?

    Thank You
