Replacement of Battries


This query is : Resolved 

12 March 2009 Please clarify this
while shifting to another location a software company replaces 158 batteries for its UPS and enitre cost is expenses off. And it is accounted as Shifting expenses.
My doubt is the expense needs to be capitalised as all the batteries are replaced if not it should be accounted as repairs and maintenance-machiner

12 March 2009 it cant be capitalized.

12 March 2009 HI

SINCE THE LIFE OF UPS IS ENHANCED BECAUSE OF REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES IT AMOUNTS TO APPRECIATION OF ASSETS AND HENCE IT SHOULD BE CAPITALISED.

12 March 2009 UPS- Uninterrupted Power Supply is combination of inverter an rectifier, and battery unit now the replacement of battery does not increase the life of the UPS in real terms. its need to run it so i think its revenue expenditure or deffered but not capital exp. even with replacement of batteries UPS is going to perform the same function there is no value addition to it?? so i think it should not be capitalized.
