Debit the cost of the asset and credit the loan account with the capitalized interest. In the example, debit the asset cost and credit the loan account with $50,000. The asset cost available for depreciation at the end of Year One is therefore $1,050,000. Debit the interest expense account and credit the loan account with any interest paid in excess of the interest capitalized. For example, if the total interest paid in the first year was $75,000, debit the interest expense account and credit the loan account with $75,000 minus $50,000, or $25,000.
Capitalization, Amortization, and Depreciation Introduction In general, expenses are deductible if allowed by a specific code section. Capital expenditures, in contrast, are not deductible; instead, they must be added to the basis of an asset.or example, the cost of land must be capitalized and is never subject to depreciation or amortization recovery. In contrast, five years worth of pre-paid insurance must also be capitalized; however, it may then be amortized over the five-year life.
