BPP Q 112 Richard
I do not have the BPP material to check wording of question and answer but if repairs expenditure is indeed incurred following acquisition of an asset unusable for purpose acquired then it will be treated as capital expenditure and added back in the adjustment of profit if of course it had been deducted in deriving the accounting profit. Also check whether that statement is applicable to the the decorating expense or to any other expenditure under the repairs heading
