Statement 1 is correct. Acquiring new technology - This is a capital expenditure. When a company acquires new technology (like software, machinery, or equipment), it's considered an investment that will benefit the organization for several years. The cost is added to the company's asset base and depreciated over its useful life.

Statement 2 is incorrect. Debt vs. Equity Financing - The way a company finances its expenditures (debt or equity) doesn't determine whether it's a capital or revenue expenditure. The nature of the expense itself matters more.
