Cost of self-constructed assets:
Company sometimes constructs an item of “property, plant and equipment” which is used in the business operations and these are known as self-constructed assets. The cost of self-constructed assets comprises of expenses that are required to build an asset and put it in operating condition.

Ascertain the costs included in requirement 1 for which there are acceptable alternative procedures and explain the alternative procedures for each case.
2.

Explanation of Solution
“Alternate procedures are probable for two costs— factory overhead and rework costs (affects direct labor, repairs and maintenance, and factory overhead)”
- Rework costs must be taken as cost for the period in which they are nonstandard. Rework costs rising from errors that must not have incurred should be considered as losses of the period. Seemingly, this was the case in this condition since the impairment resulted from a type of error that is not expected. Accordingly, related repairs, maintenance expenses and rework costs are not capitalized in requirement 1.
- Two alternative ways are there to allocate overhead costs to self-constructed assets. The method followed in “requirement 1” is to allot a portion of all overhead costs to the self-constructed asset. The reason which justifies this particular treatment is that all productive output must absorb its proportionate share of all factory overhead costs. Additionally, this method result in a cost of the constructed asset that approximates the cost of the equivalent asset acquired.
- Capitalizing the incremental overhead, that is traceable fixed and variable overhead is the second method that increases as a result of construction. Additional costs occurred in production of the fixed asset (part of the assets’ cost) are included in this method. Traceable fixed overhead and variable overhead are occurred to build the asset and it will be advantageous in the upcoming periods therefore, these costs must be capitalized.
- If there is no relationship between the self-constructed asset and fixed overhead costs, non-traceable fixed overhead costs will be incurred so, these costs must not be capitalized.
