QUESTION 2

A minor fire occurred to a machinery cost of repairing is 5000/- estimated.
But company instead used new technology to replace burnt part with new part which will increase efficiency..total cost 50000/-

I feel only 45000(50000-5000) should be capitalized.

Please assist.

06 April 2011 1) indirect expenses in construction are revenue in nature and cannot be capitalised

2) WDV attributeable to old part should be written off and new part should be capitalised in full
