Accounting Treatment

Facts of the case:

A power generating company incurred huge expenditure on technical feasibility, research, survey, design and DPR reports initially planning that they will set up 210 mw capacity plant then changed their plan to set 600mw and finally now company is setting 660mw plant. AND IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT EXPENDITURE INCURRED ON 210MW OR 600MW COULD NOT BE USED IN 660MW PLANT. Further, as per AS-10 expenditure only directly attributable to the project can be capitalized. Whether expenditure incurred at the time when company planned for setting 210mw and 600mw plant should be capitalized or charged to revenue.

Should be charged to revenue account as it will not entail any future benifit to the company as such they had changed their plan to set up a plant of 210 mw and 600 mw plant and Expenditure incurred on 210MW OR 600MW could not be used in 660MW Plant.

yes agreed                

Company can capitalise the expenditure

Remember due to feasibility and other report, one can understand the requirement of plant.

so it is incurred for plant itself mere change in capacity cannot deny capitalisation

i agreed with Mr. rajnikanth. it can be treated as revenue exp only in case of plant is scrapped. mere changing of capacity will not will not make it non capital goods.it will still be used in 660MW capacity plant.

Should be charged to revenue.
