31 July 2010 Hi Asha,

in your case the explanation is as follows:

a) any repair expemses should be charged off to the profit and loss account in the year in which they are incurred.
b) however the repairs expenses which clearly evident of increase in the life/capacity of the asset, it should be capitalized along with the asset and charge depreciation thereof.
c) but on account of expenditure incurred on consumables on C.T Scanner, which is of course form part of general maintenance and should definitely be charged off to the profit and loss account.
d) defining consumables you need gain an understanding of the CT Scanner, features, utilities, and operating conditions, etctctct.......
