Regarding the classification of conductive equipment
Thread Content
In the process of converting project assets into fixed assets, it is necessary to determine which pipelines and cables are involved. Typically, we treat the main pipelines or cables that run between different areas within a project as fixed assets for management purposes, while the remaining pipelines and cables are classified under the respective machinery or electrical equipment assets as their accessories. Is this approach reasonable? What are your criteria for determining which pipelines and cables should be considered fixed assets?

This method of calculation is reasonable, as the cost of an asset should be taken into account when determining its value as a new fixed asset； For example: 1. The costs of fixed assets such as houses, buildings, pipelines, and lines should include the results of construction work and the allocated prepaid investments ； 2. The costs of fixed assets such as power equipment and production equipment should include: the purchase cost of the equipment to be installed, the costs associated with installation work, the construction costs related to the foundations and supports for the equipment, as well as any allocated deferred investment costs ； 3. Under normal circumstances, the management fees incurred by the project owner are allocated proportionally based on the total value of the construction work, installation work, and equipment to be installed; whereas costs such as land acquisition fees and survey and design fees are allocated according to the cost of the construction work itself ； 4. Therefore, for the fixed assets that are transferred in, the original value of each individual piece of equipment (as recorded in the financial accounts) is often higher than the price at which it was ordered (or purchased), as this value includes costs related to installation work, equipment foundations, allocated costs for pipeline installations, and other assets related to the construction project. For reference!
