The statement 1 is correct, while the statement 2 is incorrect.

Acquiring new technology is considered as capital expenditure because it leads to the acquisition of an asset that can generate benefits over a long period of time. On the other hand, revenue expenditure refers to the expenditure incurred on the day-to-day operations of a business, such as salaries, rent, and utilities.

Debt financing and equity financing are both methods of raising capital for a business, but they do not determine whether an expenditure is capital or revenue. The nature of the expenditure itself determines whether it is capital or revenue, based on whether it leads to the acquisition of a long-term asset or not.
