As Per AS 10, carriage of 2000 should be added with cost of machinery.
Components of Cost:
1 The cost of an item of fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including
import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended
use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price. Examples of directly attributable costs are:
(i) site preparation;
(ii) initial delivery and handling costs;
(iii) installation cost, such as special foundations for plant; and
(iv) professional fees, for example fees of architects and engineers.
The cost of a fixed asset may undergo changes subsequent to its acquisition
or construction on account of exchange fluctuations, price adjustments,
changes in duties or similar factors.
