How are long term capital expenditures budgeted in a quarterly budgeting process?

Here is useful information from Answers.com: In terms of accounting, an expense is considered to be a capital expenditure when the asset is a newly purchased capital asset or an investment that improves the useful life of an existing capital asset. If an expense is a capital expenditure, it needs to be capitalized; this requires the company to spread the cost of the expenditure over the useful life of the asset. If, however, the expense is one that maintains the asset at its current condition, the cost is deducted fully in the year of the expense. In your case, budget the allocated cost disbursement over a three-month period (for a quarterly budget).

How much capital gains tax on inhertiance?

I am going to answer the question as asked, but I suspect it might not be what you really want to know. There is no capital gains tax on an inheritance. But if you inherited a capital asset and later sell it for more than its value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date set by the executor of the estate), the difference is a taxable capital gain. Your basis in any property you inherit is reset to its Fair Market Value on the date of death (or alternate valuation date). Your holding period for inherited property is always long term.
