Dear all,

These are my queries:

In view of the Holding company, how much is the equity take up considering the date of deemed sale?

In view of the holding company, how to compute for the gain/loss of the deemed …

If the entity’s policy is to capitalise borrowing costs and obtains a foreign loan probably taking advantage of the lower interest rates, any exchange differences should be capitalised as will during the period of construction of the qualifying asset.

As per the amended IAS 23, all borrowing costs on qualifying assets should be capitalised (no option to expense).
Does exchange differences on foreign currency loans qualify as borrowing costs to be capitalised?
Best regards
Allan

Hi Allan

To my understanding any positive/negative FX difference is expensed directly to the P&L.

Regards,
Marc

The change to IAS23 will come into force on Jan 2009. So far that is only allowed alternative, the benchmark tre
atment is to expense.
The exchange differences on foreign currency should be included to assets under construction and therefore capitalised. After capitalisation of qualifying asset any exchange …

Dear Ali,
It is very nice for me to see your name in our group since I have remember our past in Arthur Andersen.
 
Referring to your question, I think the fixed part should be evaluated as fixed and the overtime part as variable.
 
Kind regards,
 
Alper

Hello All …

This is an interesting question – but I would argue that the simple ‘variable – v – fixed’ cost focus is constrained if one doesn’t take a broader view of these costs.
As clearly the (“blue-collar”) labour involved is a ‘Cost of Sales’, the amount of labour …

On the date of transition, a company could choose, as it´s deemed cost, historical cost if the previous gaap is not significantly different than IFRS or fair value for PPE, Intangibles and Investment property. I am not sure if I have it clear but under IAS 16, one can choose the deemed cost on a per-item basis on the date of transition.
Is the option at date of transition to use FV or historical cost on a per-item basis available for IAS 40 Investment Properties and IAS 38 Intangibles?
For measurement after recognition, all …

Hi Everyone
Need a little help on this one.
When it has been determined under SIC 12 that an SPE will need to be consolidated, where would one book the equity of the SPE in the consolidated financial statements of the parent entity? Does anyone in the group have a worked example of the consolidation procedure?
Thanks
Vatsala

It would simply a separate form of equity (call it Special equity or Other
equity) without control over the core parent company and subsidiaries and
with special rights in respect of the allocation of income.

Dear all,
I cannot find how can I book the fx loss, gain into profit and loss
account. Should I book it as other cost/revenue or financial
cost/revenue?

Taczmann

Book it as a separate component of financial expenses and income, so the
categories should be:
Interest income
Interest expense
Foreign currency gains (losses)
Net financial results = sum
Kind regards,
Henk

Dear Judit
In practice most of the company showing FX charges in  Financial
charges.
With Best Wishes and Regards

Thank you for your answer, however in Austrian GAAP, the f/x loss is
shown as other cost and f/x gain on a/p or a/r is shown as other
revenue. …
