Document Summary

Costs include materials, direct labor, overhead (variable and fixed) Without a purchase price or contract price, the company must allocate costs and expenses to arrive at the cost of the self-constructed asset. Companies handle indirect overhead either by: assigning no fixed overhead to the cost of the constructed asset b/c fixed overhead is fixed in nature. It assumes that the company will have the same costs regardless of whether it constructs the asset or not. B/c of that, the overhead cost would become part of the asset, not to expenses, which would overstate income: assign a portion of all overhead to the construction (gaap requires this) After the construction, interest costs are interest expenses. During the construction, there are three approaches to account for the interest incurred in financing the construction of ppe and interest is a cost of financing, not construction. Finance view: capitalize no interest during construction since it defies the definition.
