The correct answer is C. N240,000

Capital expenditure refers to the funds spent by a company to acquire, maintain, and upgrade fixed assets, such as buildings, vehicles, equipment, or land.

It is considered a capital expenditure when the asset is newly purchased or when money is used towards extending the useful life of an existing asset, such as repairing the roof.

In this case, the capital expenditures are:

  • Hospital building: N200,000
  • Hospital beds and mattresses: N40,000

So, the total capital expenditure is N200,000 + N40,000 = N240,000.
