Let us take the example of a company EFG Ltd and calculate capital expenditure in 2017 based on the following given data โ€“

Depreciation Expense is $20,500 in the income statement
PP&E value at the end of 2017 is $48,500 in the balance sheet
PP&E value at the beginning of 2017 is $42,000 in the balance sheet

Firstly we need to calculate Net increase in PP&E using below formula,

Net increase in PP&E = PP&E value at the end of 2017 โ€“ PP&E value at the beginning of 2017

=48500-42000
=6500

Now we will calculate capital expenditure for the year 2017 by using below formula โ€“

Capital Expenditure (capex) Formula = Net increase in PP&E + Depreciation Expense
= 6500+20500
=27000

Therefore, Capital Expenditure incurred during 2017 is $27,000.
