On the premise that the historical cost of acquiring an asset should include all costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use, in principle, the cost incurred in financing expenditures for an asset during a required construction or development period is itself a part of the asset's historical acquisition cost. The cause-and-effect relationship between acquiring an asset and the incurrence of interest cost makes interest cost analogous to a direct cost that is readily and objectively assignable to the acquired asset. Failure to capitalize the interest cost associated with the acquisition of qualifying assets improperly reduces reported earnings during the period of acquisition and increases reported earnings in later periods.

In concept, interest cost is capitalizable for all assets that require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use (an acquisition period). However, in many cases, the benefit in terms of information about the entity's resources and earnings may not justify the additional accounting and administrative cost involved in providing the information. The significance of the effect of interest capitalization in relation to the entity's resources and earnings is the most important consideration in assessing its benefit. The ease with which qualifying assets and related expenditures can be separately identified and the number of assets subject to interest capitalization are important factors in assessing the cost of implementation.

Interest capitalization is required only when the balance of the informational benefit and the cost of implementation is favorable. A favorable balance is most likely to be achieved where an asset is constructed or produced as a discrete project for which costs are separately accumulated and where construction of the asset takes considerable time, entails substantial expenditures, and is likely to involve a significant amount of interest cost. A favorable balance is unlikely in the case of inventory items that are routinely manufactured or otherwise produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis. Accordingly, this Subtopic proscribes interest capitalization on those types of inventories (that is, inventory items that are routinely manufactured or produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis) and provides for interest capitalization on assets that are constructed or produced as discrete projects.

Minimum threshold levels are common in inventory and property, plant, and equipment accounting. Many entities do not include the costs of minor items in inventory, and many entities do not capitalize individual items of property, plant, and equipment, the costs of which are less than a specified threshold.

Those thresholds are justified on the grounds that the assets whose costs are charged to expense as purchased are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

With respect to the requirement that the capitalization period ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the words substantially complete prohibit continuation of interest capitalization in situations in which completion of the asset is intentionally delayed. For example, it is customary for a condominium developer to defer installation of certain fixtures and fittings until units are sold, so that buyers may choose the types and colors they want. An intentional delay of that kind is related more to marketing of the asset than to the exigencies of the asset acquisition process. Similarly, interest is not to be capitalized during periods when the entity intentionally defers or suspends activities related to the asset. Interest cost incurred during such periods is a holding cost, not an acquisition cost. However, delays that are inherent in the asset acquisition process and interruptions in activities that are imposed by external forces are unavoidable in acquiring the asset and as such do not call for a cessation of interest capitalization.

In identifying the borrowings to be included in the weighted average rate, the objective is a reasonable measure of the cost of financing acquisition of the asset in terms of the interest cost incurred that otherwise could have been avoided. Accordingly, judgment will be required to make a selection of borrowings that best accomplishes that objective in the circumstances.

Interest earned shall not be offset against interest cost in determining either capitalization rates or limitations on the amount of interest cost to be capitalized except in situations involving acquisition of qualifying assets financed with the proceeds of tax-exempt borrowings if those funds are externally restricted to finance acquisition of specified qualifying assets or to service the related debt. Those situations include many governmental borrowings and most governmentally sponsored borrowings (such as industrial revenue bonds and pollution control bonds). In such situations, interest earned generally is considered in and is significant to the initial decision to acquire the asset, and the capitalization of net interest cost provides a better measure of the entity's net investment in the qualifying assets. In those circumstances the association is direct and the funds flows from borrowing, temporary investment, and construction expenditures are so intertwined and restricted as to require accounting for the total net cost of financing as a cost of the qualifying assets.

This paragraph elaborates on the guidance in paragraph 835-20-15-6(e) regarding an investment by an investor in a regulated investee that is accounted for by the equity method while the investee is constructing qualifying assets. Paragraphs 980-835-25-1, 980-835-30-1, and 980-835-35-1 address how a regulated investee capitalizes both a cost of debt and a cost of equity capital during its construction period rather than the amount of interest that it would capitalize in accordance with this Subtopic. That method imputes a cost to the investee's equity capital and recognizes that cost as part of the carrying amount of the asset under construction and as current earnings of the investee. Since the investor, by recognizing its equity in the investee's current earnings, includes its prorated share of that imputed cost in the carrying amount of its investment and in its current earnings, the investor should not capitalize an additional cost.

  1. a
    Entity A is committed to construct a project at a cost of $10 million. The project is to be financed from three sources:
    1. 1
      $4 million government grant restricted to use for the specified construction project, payable $1 million per year
    2. 2
      $4 million tax-exempt borrowing at an interest rate of 8 percent ($320,000 per year)
    3. 3
      $2 million from operations.
  2. b
    Entity A has $10 million in other borrowings that are outstanding throughout the construction of the project. The interest rate on those borrowings is 6 percent. Other qualifying assets of the entity never exceed $5 million during the construction of the project.
  3. c
    The proceeds from the borrowing and the initial phase of the grant are received 1 year in advance of starting construction on the project and are temporarily invested in interest-bearing investments yielding 12 percent. Interest income earned from temporary investments is not reinvested.
  4. d
    The project will take four years after start of construction to complete.
  5. e
    The following table sets forth the amount of interest to be capitalized as part of the entity's investment in the project.

  6. f
    Over the course of construction, the net cost of financing is $678,000, the sum of the interest capitalized for the five years. Accordingly, Entity A's total net investment in the project will be $10,678,000.
