I might be wrong. But I will suggest to portionlly recognized the cost and then capitalize it at certain point of time, say once the recognization criteria (see below) is met.
I am against the practice that capitalize the cost straight. It is too aggressive, which contravene the GAAP principal no. 10. "Conservatism".
MY THINKING:
According to AASB 116 PP&E
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be
recognised as an asset if, and only if:
(a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the entity; and
(b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Also:
Subsequent Costs
12. Under the recognition principle in paragraph 7, an entity does not
recognise in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and
equipment the costs of the day-to-day servicing of the item. Rather,
these costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Costs of day-today
servicing are primarily the costs of labour and consumables, and
may include the cost of small parts. The purpose of these expenditures
is often described as for the ‘repairs and maintenance’ of the item of
property, plant and equipment.
13. Parts of some items of property, plant and equipment may require
replacement at regular intervals. For example, a furnace may require
relining after a specified number of hours of use, or aircraft interiors
such as seats and galleys may require replacement several times during
the life of the airframe. Items of property, plant and equipment may
also be acquired to make a less frequently recurring replacement, such
as replacing the interior walls of a building, or to make a non-recurring
replacement. Under the recognition principle in paragraph 7, an entity
recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and
equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is
incurred if the recognition criteria are met. The carrying amount of
those parts that are replaced is derecognised in accordance with the
derecognition provisions of this Standard (see paragraphs 67-72). |
