    b) The cost of the building will include the cost of replacing the roof.

    Explanation:

    As for the information provided,

    We know that the capital expenditure is capitalized and that the revenue expenditure is provided in income statement.

    The capital expenditure is added in the cost of fixed assets and then depreciated as part of it.

    The entire replacement of roof will be a huge part of consideration of building, and is capital in nature. Thus, it shall be part of cost of building.

    Remaining all expenses are not capital in nature.
