Abstract
Expensing is a system allowing a taxpayer to deduct the costs of acquiring a depreciable capital asset immediately as these costs are incurred, instead of taking a stream of depreciation deductions over the useful life of the asset. This article uses an example to illustrate the financial effects of allowing investment costs to be expensed.
