revenue over the years is a capital expenditure.

assets for using them to generate revenue over a long period.

What is Revenue Expenditure?

year to earn revenue or keep the revenue earning capacity intact. Also, that part of the capital
asset which is consumed in an accounting period is also revenue expenditure.
It encompasses ordinary repair and maintenance cost which is essential to keep the asset in
working condition.
Revenue Expenditure is fully consumed in an accounting year. The firm incurs it to carry out
operating activities, in the normal course of operations.
Difference between Capital and Revenue Expenditure

Capital expenditure is the cost incurred by a company in acquiring, constructing, or installing


fixed assets. Capital expenditure is usually for assets used for more than one year.
Revenue expenditure is an expense incurred by a company to provide goods or services to
customers. These are usually short-term expenses.
Capital expenditures are generally considered to have a higher value than revenue expenditure
because they are more likely to impact revenue and can be depreciated, whereas revenue
expenditures cannot be declined.
Capital expenditures are also more visible because they typically require some physical
presence, whereas revenue expenditures often do not require any physical presence.
Conclusion
Companies are not spending too much on capital expenditures and not enough on revenue
expenditures. Some companies spend too much on capital expenditures and not enough on
revenue expenditures. It can be a problem for the company because they might have to take
out loans to cover the difference, which they should avoid. Capital expenditure is mainly
used for improving the value of assets and is also used to calculate the depreciation value of
assets.
