Any expense that is incurred and pertains (in-whole or in-part) to a future period can be capitalized. For example: You pay for an annual advertising contract at the beginning of the contract - that expense should be spread over the entire 12 months. Of course, any expenditure for an asset used in the business for more than 12 months would be capitalized. Most companies have a minimum threshold that must be exceeded in order for something to be considered a capital expense. For example, in regards to office equiptment, they wouldn't capitalize a $10 stapler that will last for 5 years; but they do capitalize a $900 computer that will last for 3 years.
