Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant & equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

 

 

Buildings and improvements   

39 years

 

Machinery, equipment and automobiles  

5-10 years

 

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred for the Company’s new plant and equipment. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for its intended use.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.
