Explanation There are three issues from the point of financial reporting; the first issue is linked, when interest capitalization begins. Under GAAP, it starts when Expenses for the asset are made. Activities that are required to make the asset to put it in its intended use must be in progress. Cost of interest is incurred. The three conditions probably are accomplished during the year 2015, Assuming that the company has debt and that the architect has been paid: The three conditions are probably met in 2015, assuming that the company paid debt and the architect is being paid. A second issue is concerned with the costs that can be included. The expenses on which the interest is capitalized are known as the “cumulative capitalized expenditures” on the project and this comprises 1 12 of the salary of the accountant and expenditures that are similar, even though it is necessary to meet the documentation process, those costs ae directly associated to the project. The third issue is regarding the manner in which the interest cost is reported if there is no capitalization during the year 2015. There is an error, if interest is not capitalized since the accounting principles are misapplied. The accounting of error is treated as a “prior-period adjustment”. Accordingly, the CEO must accept the “good” of exploiting the capitalization of interest during the year 2019 and the “bad” of confessing to an error in application of the accounting principles
