Accounting for Fixed Asset

Others 1209 views 3 replies

There is a Machinery which is to be purchased by us and  it has to be delivered by the supplier within the time frame .If not Liquidated damages will be levied and this is governed by the  terms of the contract.The supplier supplied the machine after the time frame and hence Liquidated damages are invoked.state with reference to guidance note or compedium of opinion guidelines whether this liquidated damages will go to reduce to the cost of the Asset ?

 

Note : I know that AS-10 does not speak about this  so please do give ur views and this is urgent

I think this liquidated damages charged from supplier, and no need to reduce from cost. 

According to AS 10 Recognition in case you have purchased assets should be as below:

           Purchase Price                     xx

           Taxes (non refundable)        xx

           Transportation Charges        xx

           Installation Charges             xx

           Trial Run Exp les income    xx

            Borrowing Cost - AS16        xx

    AMT. TO BE CAPITALISED:      xx

 

Net amount payable by you will be Contract Price - Liquidated damages, i.e. purchase price, so it should be deducted.

Hope I succeed to satisfy you.

Thanks & Regards

Dear sivaram,

you've uploaaded file by name "Components of Cost of Fixed Assets". and in

that you have mentioned "incomes which reduce the cost" should be deucted from the total cost.

Referring the above,you'll raise debit note to the vendor for the liquidated damages and pay the balance amount.

While capitalising the asset , this amount of liquidate damages should be reduced from the total cost.This is same as that of the reduction of the subsidy amount from the cost of asset.
