But company instead used new technology to replace burnt part with new part which will increase efficiency..total cost 50000/-

ANSWER IN PADUKA PUBLICATIONS

Entire 50000 should be capitalized.

Reply to your 2nd Question `Only if the estimated useful life is increased' the expenditure gets qualified for capitalisation, otherwise total amount needs to be treated as Revenue expenditure'.

18 March 2011 Reply to your 1st question:

As per me those expenses are preliminary expenses and thus it should be spread for 5 year, claiming 1/5th each year.
