Historical cost measures the cash or cash equivalent price of obtaining the asset and bringing it to the location and condition necessary for its intended use.
Acquisition of Property, Plant, and Equipment
Main reasons for historical cost valuation:
Historical cost is reliable.
Companies should not anticipate gains and losses but should recognize gains and losses only when the asset is sold.

GAAP requires — capitalizing actual interest (with modification).
Consistent with historical cost.
Capitalization considers three items:
Qualifying assets.
Capitalization period.
Amount to capitalize.

Require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use.
Two types of assets:
Assets under construction for a company’s own use.
Assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed or produced as discrete projects.
Qualifying Assets
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
Capitalization Period
Begins when:
Expenditures for the asset have been made.
Activities for readying the asset are in progress .
Interest costs are being incurred.
Ends when:
The asset is substantially complete and ready for use.
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
Amount to Capitalize
Capitalize the lesser of:
Actual interest costs.
2. Avoidable interest - the amount of interest cost during the period that a company could theoretically avoid if it had not made expenditures for the asset.
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
Interest Capitalization Illustration: Assume a company borrowed $200,000 at 12% interest from State Bank on Jan. 1, 2017, for specific purposes of constructing special-purpose equipment to be used in its operations. Construction on the equipment began on Jan. 1, 2017, and the following expenditures were made prior to the project’s completion on Dec. 31, 2017:
Other general debt existing on Jan. 1, 2017:
$500,000, 14%, 10-year bonds payable
$300,000, 10%, 5-year note payable
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
Step 1 - Determine which assets qualify for capitalization of interest.
Special purpose equipment qualifies because it requires a period of time to get ready and it will be used in the company’s operations.
Step 2 - Determine the capitalization period.
The capitalization period is from Jan. 1, 2017 through Dec. 31, 2017, because expenditures are being made and interest costs are being incurred during this period while construction is taking place.
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
A company weights the construction expenditures by the amount of time (fraction of a year or accounting period) that it can incur interest cost on the expenditure.
Step 3 - Compute weighted-average accumulated expenditures.
Interest Costs During Construction
LO 3
10-‹#›
Selecting Appropriate Interest Rate:
For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures that is less than or equal to any amounts borrowed specifically to finance construction of the assets, use the interest rate incurred on the specific borrowings.
For the portion of weighted-average accumulated expenditures that is greater than any debt incurred specifically to finance construction of the assets, use a weighted average of interest rates incurred on all other outstanding debt during the period.
Step 4 - Compute the Actual and Avoidable Interest.

Note 1: Accounting Policies. Capitalized Interest. During 2017, total interest cost was $239,500, of which $120,228 was capitalized and $119,272 was charged to expense.
10-‹#›
The requirement to capitalize interest can significantly impact financial statements. For example, when earnings of building manufacturer Jim Walter’s Corporation dropped from $1.51 to $1.17 per share, the company offset 11 cents per share of the decline by capitalizing the interest on coal mining projects and several plants under construction.
How do statement users determine the impact of interest capitalization on a company’s bottom line? They examine the notes to the financial statements. Companies with material interest capitalization must disclose the amounts of capitalized interest relative to total interest costs. For example,
WHAT ‘S I YOUR INTEREST?
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation capitalized nearly 30 percent of its total interest costs in a recent year and provided the following footnote related to capitalized interest.
Financial Footnotes
Total interest costs incurred during the year were $82,415,000. Of this amount, the Company capitalized $24,716,000. Capitalized interest is included as part of the cost of oil and gas properties. The capitalization rates are based on the Company’s weighted-average cost of borrowings used to finance the expenditures.

Special Issues Related to Interest Capitalization
Expenditures for Land
If the company purchases land as a site for a structure, interest costs capitalized during the period of construction are part of the cost of the plant, not the land.
Conversely, if the company develops land for lot sales, it includes any capitalized interest cost as part of the acquisition cost of the developed land.
Interest Revenue
In general, companies should not net or offset interest revenue against interest cost.

LO 4
In a press release, Roy Olofson, former vice president of finance for Global Crossing, accused company executives of improperly describing the company’s revenue to the public. He said the company had improperly recorded long-term sales immediately rather than over the term of the contract, had improperly booked as cash transactions swaps of capacity with other carriers, and had fi red him when he blew the whistle.
The accounting for the swaps involves exchanges of similar network capacity. Companies have said they engage in such deals because swapping is quicker and less costly than building segments of their own networks, or because such pacts provide redundancies to make their own networks more reliable. In one expert’s view, an exchange of similar network capacity is the equivalent of trading a blue truck for a red truck-it shouldn’t boost a company’s revenue.
WHAT’S YOUR PRINCIPLE
But Global Crossing and Qwest, among others, counted as revenue the money received from the other company in the swap. (In general, in transactions involving leased capacity, the companies booked the revenue over the life of the contract.) Some of these companies then treated their own purchases as capital expenditures, which were not run through the income statement. Instead, the spending led to the addition of assets on the balance sheet (and an inflated bottom line).
The SEC questioned some of these capacity exchanges, because it appeared they were a device to pad revenue. This reaction was not surprising, since revenue growth was a key factor in the valuation of companies such as Global Crossing and Qwest during the craze for tech stocks in the late 1990s and 2000.

COSTS SUBSEQUENT TO ACQUISITION
In general, costs incurred to achieve greater future benefits should be capitalized, whereas expenditures that simply maintain a given level of services should be expensed.
In order to capitalize costs, one of three conditions must be present:
useful life must be increased,
quantity of units produced must be increased, and
quality of units produced must be enhanced.

It all started with a check of the books by an internal auditor for WorldCom Inc. The telecom giant’s newly installed chief executive had asked for a financial review, and the auditor was spot-checking records of capital expenditures. She found the company was using an unorthodox technique to account for one of its biggest expenses: charges paid to local telephone networks to complete long-distance calls.
Instead of recording these charges as operating expenses, WorldCom recorded a significant portion as capital expenditures. The maneuver was worth hundreds of millions of dollars to WorldCom’s bottom line. It effectively turned a loss for all of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002 into a profit. The graph below compares WorldCom’s accounting to that under GAAP. Soon after this discovery, WorldCom filed for bankruptcy.

Illustration: Camel Transport Corp. had to sell a plant located on company property that stood directly in the path of an interstate highway. For a number of years, the state had sought to purchase the land on which the plant stood, but the company resisted. The state ultimately exercised its right of eminent domain, which the courts upheld. In settlement, Camel received $500,000, which substantially exceeded the $200,000 book value of the plant and land (cost of $400,000 less accumulated depreciation of $200,000). Camel made the following entry.
Cash 500,000
Accumulated Depreciation—Plant Assets 200,000
Plant Assets 400,000
Gain on Disposal of Plant Assets 300,000
