A. Interest payable on loans or deferred credits taken for the acquisition or construction of fixed assets before they are ready for use
B. Stand by equipment and servicing equipment
C. Expenditure incurred on test runs and experimental production
D. Administration and general expenses
Only those expenses which relate to and specifically attributable to the asset are
capitalized. Administration and general expenses cannot be specifically attributable to the asset
and hence cannot be capitalized.
The correct answer to the question: "Which of the following items should not be capitalized relating to fixed assets?" is "Administration and general expenses".
