Question:
The following two situations involve the capitalization of borrowing costs.
Situation I: On January 1, 2022, Columbia Outfitters signed a fixed-price contract to have Builder Associates construct a major plant facility at a cost of R$4,000,000. It was estimated that it would take 3 years to complete the project. Also on January 1, 2022, to finance the construction cost, Columbia borrowed R$4,000,000 payable in 10 annual installments of R$400,000, plus interest at the rate of 10%. During 2022, Columbia made deposit and progress payments totaling R$1,500,000 under the contract. The excess borrowed funds were invested in short-term securities, from which Columbia realized investment income of R$50,000.
