 (a)  Apex is a publicly listed supermarket chain. During the current year it started the building of a new store. The directors
          are aware that in accordance with IAS 23 Borrowing costs certain borrowing costs have to be capitalised.

          Required:

          Explain the circumstances when, and the amount at which, borrowing costs should be capitalised in accordance
          with IAS 23.                                                                                                    (5 marks)

     (b)   Details relating to construction of Apex’s new store:

          Apex issued a $10 million unsecured loan with a coupon (nominal) interest rate of 6% on 1 April 2009. The
          loan is redeemable at a premium which means the loan has an effective fi nance cost of 7·5% per annum. The
          loan was specifi cally issued to fi nance the building of the new store which meets the defi nition of a qualifying
          asset in IAS 23. Construction of the store commenced on 1 May 2009 and it was completed and ready for use on
          28 February 2010, but did not open for trading until 1 April 2010. During the year trading at Apex’s other stores
          was below expectations so Apex suspended the construction of the new store for a two-month period during
          July and August 2009. The proceeds of the loan were temporarily invested for the month of April 2009 and earned
          interest of $40,000.

          Required:

          Calculate the net borrowing cost that should be capitalised as part of the cost of the new store and the fi nance
          cost that should be reported in the income statement for the year ended 31 March 2010.
