Document Summary

Tangible assets that will provide future economic benefits, will last for greater than 1 year, are held for use in production, administration or for rental purposes, and are not for sale in ordinary course of business. The basic test as to what costs get included or excluded is the following. Any reasonable expense that is incurred to bring an asset to its intended use gets included in the cost of that capital asset. For most companies, they want to add the cost to the asset - income gets affected over many years. If i want higher income, i want to add to the cost. Examples of costs that would be included in the cost of a capital asset (in addition to its invoice cost) are: delivery charges. 3: non-refundable sales taxes (recall gst is usually refundable) Asset additions capitalize and amortize over useful life. Do i get to put it on the b/s or the i/s.
