IAS 23 Borrowing Costs Adresses that an entity can capitalize borrowing costs from commencement date if it satisfies the following conditions:

(a) it is incurring expenditures for the asset;

(b) the company has incurred borrowing costs; and

(c) Activities are undertaken to prepare the asset for ready to use or sale.

The organization has met the condition one on March 1, 2019, which is borrowing $3000,000 for financing the construction of new building. The borrowing cost is:

Borrowing cost= $3000,000*10%= $300,000

Total cost incurred on the construction = $3,960,000

This means the remaining ($960,000) was financed from the retained earnings because we can see there is interest income in the year 2020 of 49000. So the only cost that can be capitalized is $360,000.

Interest on land expenditure during construction is capitalized to the building cost which simply means the interest on land expenditure is not capitalized on land but the building.
