Business expenditures can be divided into capital and revenue expenditures. Capital expenditures are expenditures that produce benefits across multiple time periods, such as the costs to acquire and make ready for use long-term assets.

Land acquired by the institution should be recorded at its original cost which includes a variety of expenditures related to its acquisition and its preparation for use as intended by the institution. The following are examples of expenditures that should be capitalized as a part of the cost of land: The original acquisition price. Commissions related to the acquisition. Legal fees related to the acquisition. Cost of surveys. Cost of an option to buy the acquired land. Cost of removing unwanted buildings from the land, less any proceeds from salvage.
