Can we capitalized the exchange gain/loss occured on fixed assets.
In one case, in purchase of FA the payment was made in advance and the assets was received afterwards.Thus resulting in exchange gain/loss.Is it proper to capitalised such gain / loss?
Please help

Exchange gain or loss should not be capitalised. However, if you are repaying a foreign loan in instalments, which has been taken for financing a qualifying asset, the changes in exchange rate of such a loan amount should be adjusted to the cost value of such qualifying asset.

Thanks for the reply
As far as I know that, we can capitalsed pre-capitalisation cost.
Exchange gain/loss being one of them, as the full payment for procurring the asset have been made in advance thus being pre-capitalisation cost.
So what do y'all think in this regards
