Dear friend,
--Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with the borrowing of funds. The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of a qualifying asset are those borrowing costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made. When an enterprise borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a particular qualifying asset, the borrowing costs that directly relate to that qualifying asset can be readily identified.
As per para 4 of AS 16 on Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs may include:
(a) Interest and commitment charges on bank borrowings and other short-term and long-term borrowings; .
(b) Amortization of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings ;
(c) Amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings;
(d) Finance charges in respect of assets acquired under finance leases or under other similar arrangements; and
(e) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
