    assuming work on qualifying asset was started from date of borrowings
    expenditure was also being incurred

    time period assumed 1 year

    Interest expense on $100 = $5
    less: Investment Income on $80 = $? (interest rate not given)*

    equals Interest to be capitalized =x x x

    Dear Hemant

    As per IAS 23
    When funds borrowed specifically to finance a qualifying asset are not utilized immediately,

    and instead the idle funds are invested temporarily until required, the borrowing costs that are capitalized should be reduced by any investment income resulting from the investment of idle funds.

    So in your case now entry would be of total interest received for that period.

    Particulars Amount.

    Interest Income Debit (total interest received for that period)
    To CIP A/c Credit (total interest received for that period)

    Warm Regards
