Bus/Financial - Accounting / accounting | | Spanish term or phrase: Activación de gastos e ingresos | Activación de gastos e ingresos periodificables.
Como regla general no se permitirá la activación de ningún tipo de gasto incurrido en el ejercicio salvo en los siguientes casos:... |
| | | capitalization of expenses and income | Explanation:
Barron's Dictionary of Accounting has the following definition for "to capitalize":
CAPITALIZE: to change an expenditure to an asset account because it benefits a period in excess of one year. For example, a betterment to a machine would b ecapitalized to the machinery account.
Comment on the heading:
"Activación" is a noun in Spanish and it should remain a noun in English because it is just a phrase, not a complete sentence.
However, "Activación" in the source sentence, in my opinion, should be changed to a verb and conjugated accordingly in English.
"NOUNS in Spanish and VERBS in English" is a very important linguistic principle taught by Tom West, and it makes all the difference in the world.
Hope this helps.
