The former is known as revenue expenditure and the latter as capital expenditure. While preparing the final accounts, all revenue items are included in the revenue account i.e., manufacturing, trading and profit and loss account and all capital items in the balance sheet. Any error committed in distinguishing between 'Capital' and 'Revenue' will affect the ascertainment of profit.

Important "Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One strategic action that I encourage all my clients to take is to look at any undesired or unplanned outcome of their efforts with a keen eye and a mindset toward identifying the “lessons learned” from the experience. The strongest and most effective leaders have the ability to commit to identifying and acting upon those “lessons learned.” And I believe leaders take a totally different view of failures that are experienced in their businesses and in their personal lives. The following is a quote from Denis Watley that I believe provides a strong confirmation of my belief about failure. “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”
