      1             Equipment                                   $22,000

                        Cash                                                                     $22,000  

                    Being payment for new component expected to increase the

                    equipment’s productivity by 10% a year

      2.           Equipment Repairs expenses      $6,250

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

                    Being payment for equipment repair

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

r = 7½%

t = 20 × 12 = 240
