IAS23: Borrowing Costs
How much was actually borrowed from the bank on 1 January, 2016?
$1.5 million
So, do you agree that you would have to pay interest at 9% on $1.5 million for the full year?
But you didn't need the full amount immediately so you were able to invest half of it on 1 January for 6 months
So you have to pay interest at 9% on $1.5 million for the full year but you are able to earn interest at the rate of 7% on the temporary investment of $750,000 for the six months from 1 January, 2016 to 30 June, 2016
So borrowing costs capitalised will be:
9% x $1.5 million x 12/12 = $135,000
less
7% x $750,000 x 6/12 = $26,250
giving an aggregate of $108,750 and that's split $36,250 for asset A and $72,500 for asset B
I assume that this agrees with BPP (hopefully!)
OK?
