Property, plant and equipment       

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Cost of leasehold land includes initial premium payment or price paid to acquire leasehold land including acquisition costs.       

Additions       

While expenditure on assets with a value of less than $300 is generally not capitalised, physical control is maintained over all items regardless of cost.
