    What is the capital cost that must be considered for a Project?

    The capital cost of the project :

    In simple words, I am defining here the capital cost of the project.

    Definition :

    The total cost needed to bring a project to a commercially operable is called as the capital cost of the project.


    Capital cost not depend on the following factors :

    • Accounting
    • Tax laws
    • Materiality

    Capital cost includes living expenses :

    • Purchase of plants and machinery
    • Intangible assets like trademarks and software development

    Basically, the capital cost is not limited to the initial construction of a factory.


    Example: fossil fuel power plant’s capital costs include the following;

    • Purchasing the land upon the plant is supposed to be built
    • Permits and legal costs
    • Essential equipment is needed to run the plant
    • Cost involving the construction of the plant
    • Financing and commissioning the plant.
