Capital expenditures are fixed assets like Plant, machinery, equipments etc. Revenue expenditures are short-term expenses which are used in the current period or within one year. Capital expenditures are a larger amount than the revenue expenditures.

Factors to be considered while distinguishing items into capital and revenue:

Nature of business like Furniture is capital expenditure for any other business but it is a revenue expenditure of Hansa Palace ( a furniture seller)
-Object of Expenditure:

-Effect Income generation:
Expenditure which to generate income in accounting year only is revenue expenditure an expenditure which generate income more than one year is capital expenditure.
