    Borrowing Costs

    Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.  Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.  Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred.  Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale.  

    All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.  Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
