    Dunstan Limited borrowed $34,000,000 from the bank at an effective interest rate of 11%
    to construct a qualifying asset. The loan was received in full on 1 January 2021 and half
    on the money invested on that date at 9 % interest.
    Construction of the asset commenced on 1 April 2019 and worked was suspended for the
    months of September and October 2019. The asset was completed and ready for use on 31
    December 2021.
    REQUIRED: Show the extracts from the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the
    Statement of Financial Position to record the information above.

    Ans:
    Loan – $34,000,000
    Effective Interest rate – 11%
    Start of Construction – April 1, 2019
    Year ending – Dec 31, 2021
    Construction period – 9 months
    Suspension of work – 2 months
    Borrowing cost capitalization – 7 months

    Annual loan interest ($34m x 11%) = $3,740,000
    loan interest expensed (4/12 x 3,740,000) = 1,246,666.67
    Borrowing cost to be capitalized (9/12 x $3,740,000) = $2,805,000

    applicable investment income:
    less 2/12 x 8% x 17,000,000 =
    Capitalization borrowing cost = ?

    investment income reported in SOPL
    6/12 x 8% x 17,000,000 = $680,000

    Extract of SOPL for y/e Dec 2021
    Loan interest expensed $1,246,666.67
    Interest income $ 680,000

    Extract of SOFP as at Dec 2021
    Borrowing cost capitalization ???

    Can i get some assistance please?

    Hi,

    Yes, I’d be happy to help but I’d like to see you attempt the question first and let me know which part you are specifically struggling with. I can’t see any of this from what you’ve included above, sorry. If you show me then I can help.

    What you need to show is the finance cost on the SPL and the loan and any PPE on the SFP.

    Thanks
