Question

Identify each of the following items as either a capital expenditure​ (C), an immediate expense​ (E), or neither​ (N):

Answer 1

Answer:

Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure.

Options 1, 3, and 10 are the immediate expenses.

Option 5 is Neither.

Explanation:

Capital expenditure is those expenditures that are incurred to maintain the fixed assets. Thus Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure. While the expenses that are compulsory and immediate in nature are called the immediate expenses. This means if the equipment requires repairing then it will fall in the category of immediate expense because without repairing it won't work. Therefore, a property tax of $75000, repair of the main plant,  and maintenance for equipment are immediate expenses.
