Preoperative expenses are those expenses which are incurred between the date of incorporation and date of commencement of commercial Production, hence such expenses are to be capitalised with regards to the specific asset eg: is the loan is borrowed to construct an asset or to purchase an asset the interest is to be treated as per AS 16 "Borrowing costs" and to be capitalised to the specific asset if such borrwoings are in genreal apply weighted average rate of interest to capitalised.
However if the expenses are in general in other than interst on borrowings and if it is in the nature of Research and Development then apply AS 26 "intangible assets" and treat as per the standard which gives different treatment to both Research expenses and development expenses.
