      Question

      A shipping company is required by law to bring all ships

      into dry dock every five years for inspection and overhaul. What is the correct treatment for these charges?
      A Recognized in profit or loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Recognized in carrying amount Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Recognized a revenue expenditure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Either a or b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Overhaul expenditure might at first sight seem to be a repair to the ships but it is actually a cost incurred in getting the ship back into a seaworthy condition. As such the costs must be capitalized.
