The cost of purchased property, plant and equipment is the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets<br />

and the value of other directly attributable costs which have been incurred in bringing the assets to the location and<br />

condition necessary for their intended service.<br />

The cost of assets constructed by the Group includes the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the<br />

project and financing costs that are directly attributable to the project. Costs cease to be capitalised as soon as the<br />

asset is ready for productive use.<br />
