 Capital expenditure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capital expenditures ("CAPEX") are expenditures used by a company to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as equipment, property, industrial buildings.
In accounting, a capital expenditure is added to an asset account (i.e.

 Fixed capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In national accounts, fixed capital is conventionally defined as the stock of tangible, durable fixed assets owned or used by resident enterprises for more than one year.
Fixed capital also "circulates", except that the circulation time is much longer, because a fixed asset may be held for 5, 10 or 20 years before it has yielded its value and is discarded or depreciated.
A business executive who invests in or accumulates fixed capital is tying up money in a fixed asset, hoping to make a future profit.

 What, Exactly, Is a Capital Expenditure?
If you have a capital expenditure that pertains to a particular asset in some year after the asset is purchased, you must treat the expenditure as a separate asset and depreciate it under the rules applicable to that type of asset in the year you place the expenditure into service.
Deciding whether a particular item should be classified as a capital expenditure or as a currently deductible expense is not always easy, particularly if it's debatable whether the expense represents a repair, or an improvement to a capital asset.
The most common type of capital expenditure occurs when you purchase or otherwise acquire any asset that will benefit your business for more than one year.

 IT-143R3, Meaning of Eligible Capital Expenditure
Many expenditures commonly called "nothings", of which the cost of goodwill is the most notable, were not deductible from income under the provisions of the pre-1972 Act either as an expense or by way of capital cost allowances.
However, where a taxpayer incurs the cost of surveying or valuing (appraising) a capital property (e.g., a building) in anticipation of its purchase for use in earning income from a business but the purchase does not actually occur (e.g., the purchase is aborted), such cost would qualify as an eligible capital expenditure.
An eligible capital expenditure in respect of a business is, in the simplest terms, a capital expenditure (i.e., an expenditure that results in an enduring benefit) that does not come within any of the capital cost allowance classes but rather goes into an eligible capital property pool.

 Expense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One specific use of the term in accounting is whether a particular expenditure is classified as an expense, which is reported immediately to the investing public in the business's income statement; or whether it is classified as a capital expenditure or an expenditure subject to depreciation, which is not.
These latter types of expenditures are reported as expenses eventually, but not immediately, by businesses that use accrual-basis accounting, meaning all large businesses.
In investing, one controversy that mounted throughout 2002 and 2003 was whether companies should report the granting of stock options to employees as an expense on the income statement, or should not report this at all in the income statement, which is what had previously been the norm.

While there is an "expenditure" from the purchasing fund, it is not an "expense" to the university - it is the purchase of an asset.

Because these expenditures are represented on fund statements as assets in the month of purchase, available fund balances are overstated by the amounts represented in the 16xxx Object Codes.

 Capital Expenditure - CAPEX
In terms of accounting, an expense is considered to be a capital expenditure when the asset is a newly purchased capital asset or an investment that improves the useful life of an existing capital asset.
If an expense is a capital expenditure, it needs to be capitalized; this requires the company to spread the cost of the expenditure over the useful life of the asset.

Government expenditure (like expenditure by private sector firms) can be categorised into either 'current expenditure' or 'capital expenditure'.
Current expenditure is recurring spending or, in other words, spending on items that are consumed and only last a limited period of time.

The reasons for the decentralization of capital investment decisions are the same as those behind the decentralization of recurrent expenditures: the increase in efficiency associated with being closer to the needs and preferences of taxpayers and government's becoming more accountable and responsive to them.
The way to do this most flexibly is to impose a ceiling on the expenditure on debt servicing (payment of interest and repayment of principal) as percent of the annual subnational total expenditures.
In short, the desirable principle is that the assignment of capital expenditure responsibilities among the different levels of government should be the same as for recurrent expenditures.

 Capital/Revenue divide: Introduction: What is capital expenditure
The classification, capital or revenue, is not uniquely determined by the nature of the item involved, rather it is determined by the circumstances of the transaction.
The question (capital or revenue) is answered by the effect of the expenditure and not the purpose - see BIM35320.
Generally capital expenditure will result in the acquisition, disposal or modification of an identifiable capital asset, tangible or intangible - see BIM35320.

Pike noted that capital or operating expenditure of GTL and petrochemicals is not very different from country to country, but there are different allowances, different depreciation rules and different tax rates and after tax revenue.

Improving efficiencies and reducing non-fuel costs, including capital expenditure are also key elements", he said.
