Aspecial repair to a machine will extend the life of the machine an additional four years beyond the original estimated life of 5 years. the $75,000 cost of this repair is: a. a revenue expenditure b. an ordinary repair and maintenance expenditure c. a capital expenditure. d. either (a) or (b).

C. A capital expenditure.

Explanation:

This is an example of a capital expenditure as it makes significant improvements to the machines and extends the life considerably.

These types of expenses are capitalized in the balance sheets under the original asset name and the asset is revalued by the improvement cost and stated at net book value + improvement.

Revised depreciation is then calculated on this new NBV as applicable with increased life of asset.

Hope that helps.

answer casual models;

credit history is used by lenders to determine whether you are a 'risky' person to give their money to.

having a short history provide very little data for the lenders. they wouldn't be able to determine your credit behavior from such a small samples. even if they are perfect.

having long credit history with few blemishes provide larger and more accurate data for the lenders to predict your credit behavior.
