hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[20]
clicking the bell icon today we have a topic with answers capitalised interest
[25]
or what this topic is all about that's what we are going to discuss here see
[28]
there are few interest that is capitalized and there are few which are
[32]
not capitalized but it is actually expensed on so what sort of interest is
[36]
capitalized ok that's a very difficult question and a very important question
[41]
overall so first and the foremost thing we'll learn is what is capitalized
[45]
interest see capital interest is the interest accrued during the construction
[49]
of what we call as long term assets and is included in the initial cost of
[55]
assets on the balance sheet instead of being charged off as the interest
[58]
expense on the income statement for example let's say if a 5% interest rate
[62]
on let's talk about one lakh loan which is borrowed to construct windmills it
[68]
takes one year to complete the construction so this implies that the
[72]
cost of the wind wind will not only improve the initial cost of asset but
[75]
also the interest expense which has been incurred here which is required to be
[79]
paid off or for the load so the total cost will be 100000 into 5%
[85]
so we'll add this 5000 with 100000 that's gone be 105000
[90]
and so here please you need to note one thing that you know interest expense is
[95]
not reported in the income statement whereas the capitalized interest is
[99]
added to the cost of the long-term asset see under the cruel basis of accounting or
[105]
the accrual basis of accounting it is reported in the balance sheet as a total
[110]
amount of fixed assets in the organization using the construction loan
[114]
to build its own corporate headquarters is another example of such situation now
[120]
the capital interest capitalisation interest becomes a part of the long term
[125]
asset and is depreciated it is depreciated over the useful life now
[134]
let's go to the next topic this was the first one what exactly was the
[139]
capitalized interest now the steps to calculate capital
[145]
interest what are the steps we'll start with that step number one is find the
[155]
capitalization period so the first step is to understand the time be here until
[161]
when the construction of the fixed assets will take place and bye-bye when
[164]
the assets will be ready for the use so capitalization of the borrowing cost
[168]
terminates when the asset has been repaired its intended use and is
[173]
substantially completed all the activities are needed so the
[176]
capitalization period will not be extended by work minor modification
[183]
modification so if the entity can use some parts where you want construction
[189]
continues on the other parts then should discontinue the capitalization of the
[193]
borrowing cost on the part that it completes step number two calculate the
[198]
weighted average accumulator expenditure if the product of the expenditure for
[207]
the construction of a fixed assets and it's time weighted for the accounting year
[211]
weighted average accumulated expenditure is equal to the expenditure that you
[217]
incur in to number of months in capitalization divided by 12 step number
[227]
3 the step 3 goes as you need to determine the interest on the specific
[234]
on the specific borrowing and from the general funds you need to figure out so
[240]
if the loan was specifically used for the construction of the fixed asset okay
[247]
then the actual borrowing cost incurred is the borrowing cost to capitalize minus
[252]
the borrowing cost less any kind of investment income earned from that from
[258]
the interim investment of those borrowing now for general corporate needs the
[263]
borrowing may be handled certainly centrally and could be obtained by a
[267]
variety of our debt instruments during the period applicable to the asset in
[272]
this case gain and interest rate from the weighted average of the entity's
[277]
borrowing costs using the method number of allowable
[281]
borrowing costs at the entities total borrowing costs during the applicable
[284]
period the step four is calculate the avoidable calculate the avoidable
[294]
interest so for calculating the capitalized interest cost we need to
[298]
calculate the avoidable interest well it is calculated as w/e if that is weighted
[303]
average of unit expenditures into appropriate interest rate right so by
[307]
that we receive avoidable interest right this capitalize the avoidable interest
[314]
expense you need to capitalize the same finally step number five calculate the
[323]
actual interest on loans okay so actual interest on the overall
[329]
loan is straightforward and you can calculate directly by multiplying the
[332]
corresponding interest rate so the debt that has been raised in step six which
[338]
is the final step select the lowers the actual interest
[342]
and avoidable interest as capitalisation interest so capitalisation interest is
[349]
going to be lower of the actual interest and the voidable interest well this was
[357]
our second discussion the third discussion is going to be an
[362]
example on this let's say there is a construction company
[366]
okay they started a construction of building that is to be used for
[369]
production and the construction the building will end on let's say 31st of
[373]
December and the building will be ready to use the they were the following you
[377]
know debt outstanding it was on the 1st of January 2017 60,000 at $60,000 at 10%
[392]
okay interest rate taken for the specific purpose of construction of
[396]
building and 75000 and 8% interest rate that was basically
[401]
general loan that was taken right so the payments were made for the construction
[406]
the building that was in the 1st feb and that was made closely to
[410]
50000 on the August 1st of August that was closely 75000
[415]
so you need to calculate the capitalized interest so I want you all do to solve
[420]
this example by yourself by applying all the steps over here the steps could be
[426]
quite helpful and based on that just make the calculations and come up with
[432]
the answer the answer of the capitalisation interest is gonna be
[436]
$7367 dollars and try and match your answer with the same let
[441]
me give my final conclusion wordings on this see to set the acquiring assets up
[447]
to the intended use for a period of time capitalized in interest is part of the
[451]
historical cost the gaap allows the firm to avoid expense interest on the debt as
[455]
many companies finance the construction of long term assets with either it's
[460]
going to be debt and it includes on its balance sheet as a component of the
[463]
historical cost that is basically long term assets so various production
[467]
facilities ships real estates involves long term assets for which the
[473]
capitalization interest is allowed and inventories that are manufactured over
[476]
and over again in the large quantities capitalization interest is not permitted
[481]
for but that's it for this particular topic right so that's it for this
[485]
