31 January,2024 5,00,000
, SUGGESTED ANSWER INTERMEDIATE EXAMINATION: MAY 2024
The life of building is estimated to be 20 years and depreciation is calculated
on straight line method.
You are required to:
(i) Calculate the amount of borrowing cost to be capitalized.
(ii) Pass initial journal entry to recognise the cost of building.
(iii) Depreciation on building for the year ending 31 st March, 2024.
(iv) Carrying value of building as on 31 st March, 2024.
(b) Well Wear Limited is a Textile Manufacturing Company and engaged in the
production of Polyester (P) and Nylon (N). While manufacturing the main
products, a by-product Fiber (F) is also produced. Details of the cost of
production are as under:
Purchase of Raw Material for manufacturing process of
30,000 units ` 3,50,000
Wages paid ` 1,60,000
Fixed overheads ` 1,20,000
Variable overheads ` 60,000
Output:
Polyester (P) 12,500 Units
Nylon (N) 10,000 Units
Fiber (F) 3,200 Units
Closing Inventory:
Polyester (P) 1,600 Units
Nylon(N) 400 Units
Average market price of Polyester and Nylon is ` 100 and ` 60 per unit
respectively, by-product Fiber is sold@ ` 40 per unit. There is a profit of
` 8,000 on sale of by-product after incurring separate processing expenses of
` 10,000 and packing charges of ` 9,000. ` 5,000 was realized from sale of
scrap.
On the basis of the above information, you are required to compute the value
of closing inventory of Polyester and Nylon. (7 + 7 = 14 Marks)

(Being expenditure incurred
on construction of building
and borrowing cost thereon
capitalized)
Note: In the above journal entry, it is assumed that interest amount
will be paid at the year end. Hence, entry for interest payable has
been passed on 31.1.2024.

Alternatively, following journal entry may be passed if interest is paid
on the date of capitalization:
Date Particulars ` `
31.1.2024 Building account Dr. 45,70,000
To Bank account 45,70,000
(Being expenditure incurred
on construction of building
and borrowing cost thereon
capitalized)
(iii) Depreciation on building for the year ending 31.3.2024
Cost of building 45,70,000
Life of building = 20 years
Depreciation = (45,70,000/20) x 2/12 = 38,083.33
(iv) Carrying Value of Building on 31st March 2024:
Carrying Value = Cost of Building - Accumulated Depreciation
= 45,70,000- 38,083.33
= 45,31,917
