Best Answer
Capital Expenditure:These are expenditure incurred in acquiring non-current assets or in making extension to existing non-current assets. Capital expenditure increases the earning capacity of a business.

Businesses benefit from such type of expenditure over a long period of time. For example, a delivery vehicle can be used for over 5 years to deliver goods to customers. Computers may easily be used for 3 or 4 years. A building may be used for over 20 years.

For the above reasons, capital expenditure are entered as non-current assets in the balance sheet. The cost of non-current assets is charged against profit over the years the assets can used and benefits derived. Such process is called "provision for depreciation".
