  Feedback:GAAP requires a company to capitalize expenditures that extend an asset's useful life,increase its capacity or efficiency,or cause any other increase in its economic benefits.A major improvement to the HVAC system and a building addition meet these criteria and are capitalized costs.The painting,carpet,and repair costs are expensed since they do not improve efficiency or extend the productive life of the building.
