The total amount spent on acquiring, enhancing, managing, repairing, or maintaining a company's physical assets, such as its plants, land, machinery, technology, or buildings, is referred to as a capital expenditure. They are used both when a business is first conceptualised and afterwards when a new project, branch, or investment is launched. When a business plans to improve the value of its assets, broaden the scope of its operations, intensify profit-generating activities, and ultimately get greater use out of the assets, it decides to incur capital expenses. Capital expenditure is reported on a company's balance sheet, not its income statement. On the balance sheet, the capital expenditure amount is determined as an asset.
