PAS 23 BORROWING

COSTS
Learning Competencies
 State the core principle under PAS 23.
 Compute for borrowing costs that are eligible for
capitalization.
Core principle

 “Borrowing costs that are directly


attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of a qualifying asset form part
of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing
costs are recognized as an expense.” (PAS 23.1)
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs
incurred by an entity in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs
may include:
1. Interest expense on financial liabilities
using the effective interest method
2. Finance charge with respect to a finance
lease
3. Exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent that they
are regarded as an adjustment to interest
costs.
Qualifying asset
 Qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get
ready for its intended use or sale. Depending
on the circumstances, any of the following may
be qualifying assets:
a. Inventories
b. Manufacturing plants
c. Power generation facilities
d. Intangible assets
e. Investment properties measured under cost
model
Qualifying asset - continuation
 The following are not qualifying assets
a. Financial assets, and inventories that are manufactured, or
otherwise produced, over a short period of time.
b. Assets that are ready for their intended use or sale when
acquired are not qualifying assets.
c. Assets that are routinely manufactured or otherwise
produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis.
d. assets measured at fair value, such as biological asset
Accounting for borrowing
cost

PAS 23, paragraph 8, mandates the


following rules on borrowing cost:
1. If the borrowing is directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset, the borrowing cost is
required to be capitalized as cost of the
asset.
2. All other borrowing costs shall be expensed
as incurred.

Determining borrowing costs
eligible for capitalization

1. Qualifying assets financed through Specific


borrowing
Interest expense on specific borrowing ₱ xx
Less: Investment income earned on specific
borrowing
xx
Borrowing cost eligible for capitalization ₱
xx
Illustration
At the beginning of the current year, an entity obtained a
loan of P4,000,000 at an interest rate of 10%, specifically
to finance the construction of new building. The building
was completed at the current year-end.
Availments from the loan were made quarterly in equal
amounts. Total borrowings cost incurred amounted to
P250,000 for the current year.
Prior to their disbursement, the proceeds for the borrowing
were temporarily invested and earned interest income of
P40,000.

Actual borrowing cost 250,000


Interest income from investment of proceeds (40,000)
Capitalizable borrowing cost 210,000

Determining borrowing costs eligible for
capitalization
2. Qualifying assets financed through General borrowing
Total interest expense on general borrowings ₱ xx
Divide by: Total general borrowings xx
Capitalization rate %

Average expenditure on the asset ₱ xx


Multiply by: Capitalization rate %
Borrowing cost that may be eligible for
capitalization ₱ xx
The amount computed in the formula above shall be compared with
the actual borrowing costs incurred during the period. The amount to
be capitalized is the lower amount.
Illustration
An entity had the following borrowings on January 1 of the current year. The
borrowings were made for general purposes and the proceeds were partly used
to finance the construction of a new building.
Principal Borrowing cost
10% bank loan 3,000,000 300,000
12% short-term note 1,500,000 180,000
8% long-term loan 3,500,000 280,000
8,000,000 760,000
The construction of the building was started on January 1 and was completed
on December 31 of the current year.
Jan 1 400,000
March 31 1,000,000
June 30 1,200,000

11
Commencement of capitalization

 The capitalization of borrowing costs as


part of the cost of a qualifying asset
commences on the date when all of the
following conditions are met:
a. The entity incurs expenditures for the
asset;
b. The entity incurs borrowing costs; and
c. It undertakes activities that are
necessary to prepare the asset for its
intended use or sale.
Suspension of capitalization

 Capitalization of borrowing costs shall be


suspended during extended periods of
suspension of active development of a
qualifying asset.
Cessation of capitalization

 An entity shall cease capitalizing borrowing costs


when substantially all the activities necessary to
prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or
sale are complete.
Financial statement
presentation

 Qualifying assets are not segregated from other assets


in the financial statements. They are presented as
regular assets under their normal classification as
provided under other standards.
