current asset X
Cr Bank/Cash/Payables X
•
A separate cost account should be kept for each category of noncurrent
asset, e.g. motor vehicles, fixtures and fittings.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent costs on the non
current asset can only be recorded as part
of the cost (or capitalised), if it enhances the benefits of the asset, i.e.
increases the revenues capable of being generated by the asset.
An example of subsequent expenditure which meets this criterion, and so
can be capitalised, is an extension to a shop building which provides
extra selling space.
An example of subsequent expenditure which does not meet this criterion is
repair work. Any repair costs must be debited to the statement of profit or
loss, i.e. expensed.
