8. Interest Capitalization Interest costs during construction should be capitalized when: • Asset are constructed/produced for own use (including assets constructed or produced by others for the enterprise for which deposits or progress payments have been made) • Assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed or otherwise produced as discrete projects (for example, real estate developments)

9. Interest Capitalization Construction cost of the following assets related to a proprietary fund should not include an interest cost element: • Assets that are in use or ready for their intended use • Investments accounted for by the equity method after the planned principal operations of the investee begin • Investments in regulated investees that are capitalizing both the cost of debt and equity capital • Assets acquired with gifts and grants that are restricted by the donor or grantor to acquisition of those assets to the extent that funds are available from such gifts and grants (interest earned from temporary investment of those funds that is similarly restricted shall be considered in addition to the gift or grant for this purpose)

10. Interest Capitalization Interest capitalization period begins when the three conditions are present: • Expenditures for the capital asset have been made. • Activities that are necessary to get the capital asset ready for its intended use are in progress. • Interest cost is being incurred.

11. Interest Capitalization • Interest capitalized is limited to the actual interest expense recognized for the period • Interest capitalization for proprietary funds should take into consideration only debt that is to be paid by a proprietary fund • Interest cost to be capitalized for assets constructed with tax-exempt borrowings

12. Tax Exempt Borrowings • The key to determining if you should offset the interest expense with the interest earned is to determine if the resources are externally restricted to finance acquisition of specified qualifying assets or to service the related debt.
