This course covers the accounting requirements for interest costs under U.S. GAAP, focusing on both imputation and capitalization. It begins with a review of the rules for recognizing imputed interest when no stated rate exists or when terms are not at market. You’ll learn how to identify transactions that require imputation, how to determine the appropriate interest rate, and how to record the resulting amounts. The course then shifts to the rules for capitalizing interest related to the construction or production of qualifying assets. It explains how to determine which

assets qualify, how to calculate capitalizable interest, and how to apply the guidance during the capitalization period. Together, these topics provide a clear and practical understanding of how interest costs affect the financial statements.
