I have a technical question that I have been researching the FASB codification and can't find the answer to. Hopefully you all can help me. We manufactures pipe for oil and gas companies. We have a manufacturing line that does heat treat and straightening. Currently, the straightener is not working and we are only using the rollers inside the straighter machine to keep the line moving so the pipe can make its way to the next steps in the manufacturing process. The Straighter machine needs to be powered in order for the rollers to work and if we remove the machine there would be a 12 ft gap and we wouldn't be able to run the line.
Currently, we have the straighter in CIP on the BS, should we capitalize this asset even though its not being used for its "intended purpose"?
The Straighter machine itself is not working and would require significant capital outlay that we are not currently in a position to spend due to demand
Any feedback would be appreciated.
