Document Summary

Plant assets= resources that have physical substance (a definite size and shape); used in the operations of a business and are not intended for sale to customers. They are called various names property, plant, and equipment; plant and equipment; and fixed assets. By whatever name, these assets are expected to be of service to the company for a number of years. Except for land, plant assets decline in service potential (ability to produce revenue) over their useful lives. Plant assets determine the company"s capacity and therefore its ability to satisfy customers. Even when well-maintained, they will eventually need to be replaced. In addition, companies add certain interest costs to the cost of a building: however, the inclusion of interest costs in the cost of a constructed building is limited to interest costs incurred during the construction period. When construction has been completed, subsequent interest payments on funds borrowed to finance the construction are recorded as increases (debits) to.
