CMA Final · Corporate Financial Reporting · Borrowing Costs (Ind AS 23)

Kaveri Textiles Ltd is building a qualifying plant and funds it from general borrowings. Its outstanding loans during the year were ₹20,00,000 at 10% and ₹30,00,000 at 12%, both outstanding for the whole year. Expenditure on the plant was ₹8,00,000 incurred at the start of the year and nothing else during the year. What amount of borrowing cost is capitalised?

Capitalisation uses the weighted average rate on general borrowings applied to expenditure on the asset. Interest of ₹5,60,000 on ₹50,00,000 gives 11.2%, and on ₹8,00,000 this is ₹89,600.

  4. D₹1,10,000

Explanation

Total interest = 2,00,000 + 3,60,000 = ₹5,60,000 on ₹50,00,000, so the weighted average rate is 11.2%. Capitalisation = 8,00,000 x 11.2% = ₹89,600. Check: the options must be reconsidered; the exact figure is ₹89,600, so the nearest listed is not correct. Correcting the data: see the key figure below.
