15 November 2013 Does these improvements add any log term benefit? for example does this improvement increase the uses in the building or increases its useable life? If yes, then capitalize the said expenses.

With regards to entries:

If the money for these improvements was brought in as share capital, then credit the share capital and debit the bank.

while paying for expenses, debit the capital assets and credit bank.

15 November 2013 Any expense which increases its efficiency or life of the asset such expenses must be capitalized...
In case of addition of another floor in building or improvement in permanent nature should be capitalized...
