Borrowing Costs - Defined
Are interest and other costs that an entity incurs in
connection with borrowing of funds (PAS 23). It includes the
following:

Interest Interest expense calculated using effective interest method


Expense

Finance Finance charge with respect to finance lease.


Charge

Exchange Exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowing to the


Difference extent that it is regarded as an adjustment to interest cost.
Qualifying Asset
An asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready
for the intended use or sale. Examples include:

Manufacturing plant

Power generation facility

Intangible asset

Investment property
Excluded from Capitalization
PAS 23 does not require capitalization of borrowing costs
related to the following:



Accounting for Borrowing Costs
PAS 23 mandates the following rules on borrowing cost:


Asset Financed by Specific Borrowing
PAS 23 provides that if the funds are borrowed specifically
for the purpose of acquiring a qualifying asset, the amount
of capitalizable is the actual borrowing cost incurred during
the period less any investment income from the temporary
investment of those borrowings.
Illustration:

Capitalizable borrowing cost is computed as follows:

Actual borrowing cost P500,000


Less: Interest income from temporary investment 50,000
Capitalizable borrowing cost P450,000
Asset Financed by General Borrowing
PAS 23 provides that if the funds are borrowed generally and used
for acquiring a qualifying asset, the amount of capitalizable
borrowing cost is equal to the average carrying amount of the asset
during the period multiplied by a capitalization rate or average
interest rate.

Capitalizable Borrowing Cost =


Average Carrying Amount of the Asset x Capitalization rate
Asset Financed by General Borrowing

Capitalizable borrowing cost shall NOT exceed the actual interest


incurred.

Capitalization rate / Average interest rate =


Total Annual Borrowing Cost /
Total general borrowings Outstanding during the period

Investment income is NOT deducted from capitalizable borrowing


cost.
Illustration
Asset Financed Both by Specific and General Borrowing
Illustration:
At the beginning of the current year, an entity borrowed P1,500,000
at an interest of 10% specifically for the construction of a new
building. The actual borrowing cost on this loan is P150,000.

The entity had also an outstanding during the year of 5-year 8%


general borrowing of P7,000,000.

The construction of the building started on January 1 and was


completed on December 31 of the current year.
Illustration
Construction period is more than one year
Illustration:
Construction period is more than one year
Construction period is more than one year but less than 2 years
Assume that the same data except that the building was completed on August 31, 2020. The
capitalizable cost for 2019 would be the same, P600,000. However, capitalizable borrowing
cost for 2020 would be determined as follows:
Specific Borrowing for Asset Used for General Purpose

Borrowing shall be treated as General Borrowing in determining


the capitalizable borrowing cost.

Thus, capitalizable borrowing cost is equal to the average


expenditures on the asset multiplied by the average interest rate.
Commencement of Capitalization
Capitalization of borrowing costs shall commence when the 3
conditions are present:

• When the entity incurs expenditures for the asset.

• When the entity incurs borrowing costs.

• When the entity undertake activities that are necessary to


prepare the asset for the intended use or sale.
Suspension of Capitalization
Capitalization of borrowing costs shall be suspended during
extended periods in which active development is interrupted.

However, capitalization of borrowing costs is not normally


suspended during a period when substantial technical and
administrative work is being carried out.

Capitalization of borrowing cost is not also suspended when there


is temporary delay which is necessary part of the process of getting
an asset ready for its intended use or sale.
Cessation of Capitalization
Capitalization of borrowing costs shall cease when substantially
all of the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for the
intended use or sale are complete.

An asset is normally ready for the intended use or sale when the
physical construction of the asset is complete even though routine
administrative work might still continue.
Disclosures related to borrowing costs
• The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during the period.

• The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of


borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.
