Solution

The correct option is D Interest charges for the period beyond the date the plant is put to use
All the incidental expenses incurred towards a particular asset till it is put to use are to capitalized with the cost of asset. Hence interest till the date the plant is put to use has to be debited to asset account only.

Therefore, interest charges for the period beyond the date the plant is put to use is not not included in the depreciable value of an asset for the purpose of depreciation and to be debited to profit & loss account as revenue expenditure.
