24 September 2011 For this purpose the local borrowing rate is also required.

Assumed that the local borrowing rate is 7%. Calculation will be made as under:

1. Interest for the period = $10,000*10%*Rs. 45 = Rs. 45,000/-

2. Increase in liability towards principal amount = $10,000*(45-40)= Rs 50,000/-

3. Interest if loan in Indian currency =
$10,000*40*7% = Rs. 28,000/-

4. Difference between interest =
Rs. 45,000 - Rs. 28,000 = Rs. 17,000/-

Out of increase of Rs. 50,000/-, Rs. 17,000/- would be considered as borrowing cost.

The total borrowing cost will be =
Rs. 45,000 + Rs. 17,000 = Rs. 62,000/-

Balance Rs. 33,000/- (Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 17,000) shall be transferred to P&L account as per AS-11.
