In other words, any cost incurred before putting the asset to use is capitalized. However, subsequent to acquisition, any expense which would increase the useful life of the asset or enhance the quality and quantity of output, are also capitalized, e.g., an overhaul of machinery. Any expenses incurred to maintain the asset is expensed.
