Can we capitalise pre-operating exp like purchase of food items for pizza outlet -purchased for a trial basis. it includes items like cheese ,butter, sauce ,cutlery& Crockery vegetables etc., the amount is very high (approx: 50lakhs)
as per the my openion the expense incurred before when plant or project not started commercial production. all expences like trail basis expences, raw materla for that are capitalised.
but when its produce for commercial use than all related expences are revenue expence mot capitallised
so above expenses are pre operating expense for trail basis not for commercial(Sale to customer) so its capitalised.
