To be frank, deferred payments are accruals during putchases and not capitalosed. Depreciation is allowed but not the whole ppe.

Deferred payment means delayed payment of interest to the bank right? Dont do that many times cause you could be facing hard capital rationing. Anyways, as long as there is no halt, you can capitalise it even if it is deferred.

proprty 90

capitalised interest 100*10%*6/12= 5
