Capitalization of Borrowing Costs
Certain inventory products require significant manufacturing time. A manufacturer must finance its operating costs during the construction, production or development period. In some cases, the manufacturer will do so by borrowing funds. In these circumstances, both IFRS (IAS 23) and US GAAP (ASC 835-20) indicate that borrowing costs may need to be capitalized as part of the cost of inventory, if it is a qualifying assettion of Borrowing Costs – US GAAP

Example 1 – Inventory Cost Components
Assume that a manufacturer normally produces 925 to 1,000 units of a product per operating cycle. During the current operating cycle, (a) 950 units are produced and (b) factory costs totaled $10,000. Assume that the factory only produces one type of product.

• Describe how to address the recoverability of inventory under IFRS and US GAAP
Under both IFRS and US GAAP, inventory cost may comprise production and/or acquisition costs.
For example, finished goods inventory cost for manufacturers will often include the cost of raw materials, direct labor applied to those materials, and allocated overhead. For distributors, inventory cost likely will be comprised of the purchase price, as well as any transportation costs paid by the distributor to ship the inventory from the supplier to the distributor’s place of business.
• These indirect costs are referred to as overhead. • Overhead can comprise depreciation and maintenance of factory buildings and equipment, the cost of factory management and administration, electricity, and other similar items. • Overhead should be allocated to inventory based on normal production levels. Normal production refers to a range of production levels expected to be achieved during various cycles or seasons under ordinary circumstances.
