Answer to Problem 1QC

Annual building maintenance is the cost that is not recorded as part of the cost of the building. Hence, option d is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Explanations:

The expenses that are incurred to increase the efficiency of the building or increase the useful life of the building or make the building ready to use, would be considered as the cost of the building. On the other hand, expenses incurred to keep the building in good usable condition are referred to as maintenance cost that are treated as revenue expenditures.

Conclusion
Therefore, the correct option is d.
