Say Loan period3 years Asset completed in just2 years3rd year interest expense to charged wither P&L account or Asset Account ?
IF THE ASSET IS COMPLETED IN TWO YEARS THAN ONLY FOR TWO YEARS BORRWING COST CAN BE INCLUDED IN ASSET ACCOUNT OR YOU SAY BE CAPITALISED BUT ONCE THE ASSETS CONTRUCTION IS COMPLETE THEN WE HAVE TO CHARGE IT IN PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT HENCE FOR THIRD YEAAR IT WILL BE CHARGED TO PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT.
The interest on the finance lease of the constructed asset is capitalised as borrowing costs. Borrowing costs on the finance lease can only be capitalised up to the point when the construction of the qualifying asset is complete.
Hence interest for third year will be P&L element and not capital cost
