Calculate revenue and capital expenditure

a) purchase of machinery 6500

Answer with its Explanation:

I was unable to find the question, but I think that I can help you understand the difference between the revenue expenditure and the capital expenditure.

Capital Expenditure:

Capital expenditure is the purchase of an asset whose value will last more than a year or expenditure incurred to increase the life of the asset above the initial life or expenditure to increase the productivity of the asset above productivity of the asset when it was purchased.

Examples include the purchase of van. It has life of more than a year hence it must be capitalized. Likewise if we install security system in it then this expenditure will qualify for capital expenditure as it adds additional feature to the asset.

a. The purchase of Machinery of $6,500 is capital expenditure as it has life more than a year.

Revenue Expenditure

The revenue expenditure is the purchase of product or services whose benefits will last within a year or are expenditure on the fixed asset to keep it running. Examples are, ballpoints which is a product that has life< one year. So it must be expensed out at the spot. Likewise the entertainment expenditures of $50 which includes the purchase of pizza and other items for guests, also has less than one year life. Hence these entertainment expenditures must also be expensed out.

Depreciation is a special case here, it is the decrease in the value of Non Current Asset. Hence the decrease in the value of the Non Current Asset must be reduced to its fair value. Depreciation is an utilization of the Non Current Asset's value in the form of benefits drawn from it and it can be measured as decrease in the asset's value. However, sometimes it is difficult to find the fair value of the asset in the market. To resolve this issue, we use depreciation formula to estimate the decrease in the value of the asset.
