Property, plant and equipment /PPE/
 PPE are assets of durable nature. They are used in operations, they are long-term/long lived and
they possess physical substance. They are measured based to their costs; initial measurement and
subsequent measurement, which has both cost method and fair value method.

Cost components /subjected to mode of acquisition/ are; cost of land, cost of building, cost of equipment,
cost of acquiring fixed assets. Self-constructed assets are assets constructed by the business for use in
operations.

 IFRS requires capitalizing actual interest /with modification /

Capitalization considers three items which are qualifying assets, capitalization period and amount to
capitalize. Capitalization period begins when expenditure for the assets and interest costs are being
incurred, activities for readying the asset for use or sale are in progress. And it ends when the asset is
substantially complete and ready for use. And also it interrupted when brief and inherent in normal
construction work and intentional delays.
