How do i do the following question below. The only thing i know is that we can capitalize cost from 1 may till 30 november only because capitalization have to stop when construction ends. I already have the SOPL and SOFP answers. But i want to know the workings to derive those figures.Can you help me ?
Qn)Bleaky decided to build a new head office at the start of the year. The total cost of the project was $20 million, and to fund this Bleaky received a $20 million 6% loan on 1 April 20X3. As well as the interest payments, it agreed to repay the loan by making five annual payments of $4 million on 31 March each year. It paid the interest of $1,200,000 and the first $4 million repayment on 31 March 20X4.
Construction work on the office began on 1 May, and was completed on 30 November. Bleaky decided to wait until the new year to move premises so began to use the building in January 20X4. It expects to use the building for the next 25 years. As not all the funds were required immediately, it invested $6 million of the loan in 5% bonds from 1 May until 1 August.
Required: Prepare extracts of Bleaky’s statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position in respect of the building for the year ended 31 March 20X4. Note: All calculations should be made to the nearest thousand.
