The cost of an item of fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including
import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended
use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price. Examples of directly attributable costs are:
(i) site preparation;
(ii) initial delivery and handling costs;
(iii) installation cost, such as special foundations for plant; and
(iv) professional fees, for example fees of architects and engineers.
Plz refer above para.
As per my knowledge and believe, Purchase Cost= Purchase price + Stampduty + Registration Fees( if it is nonrecuring).
When you sell then your gain from sale of fixed asset= Relization received- ( cost of purchase-accumelated dep on it till date of sale in case of companies at prescribed rate).
Above is tretement For Accountng purpose only.
