Amount paid for purchase of a part of a machinery which is having a life of less then a year but costing Rs 30000/-. Will it be capitalize or not?? Please provide me case study with suggestion.
Amount is not a factor of consideration to decide , whether the expenditure is revenue or capitalized. A main condition of capitalization is that any asset expected to be used for more than one accounting year. Since the asset's life is less than a year and expected to use less than a year, it is treated as revenue expenditure in the year of acquisition.
