Name two cost components that should be capitalised when initially recognising a building under IAS 16. (2 marks)
Capitalisation of cost, depreciation methods (straight-line, reducing-balance, sum-of-digits, units-of-production), disposal of assets, and revaluation.
Aligned to the KASNEB Financial Accounting syllabus.
Under IAS 16, the cost of a non-current asset includes all expenditures directly attributable to bringing the asset to its intended use. This encompasses the purchase price, import duties, and non-refundable taxes. Additionally, costs incurred for site preparation, delivery, and installation should be capitalized. Any initial estimates of dismantling or removing the asset and restoring the site are also included in the asset's cost.
In the Kenyan context, ensure compliance with the Companies Act 2015 and consider the implications of the KRA regulations on capital allowances. Understanding these components is crucial for accurate financial reporting and compliance with IFRS standards.
For example, when a company purchases machinery, the total cost recognized on the balance sheet will include the purchase price, transportation costs, installation expenses, and any applicable taxes. This comprehensive approach ensures that the asset is recorded at its true cost, reflecting its economic value to the business.
Key points
Transaction: A company purchases machinery for KES 1,000,000. Additional costs include:
