Explanation:

building fund is received for construction of buildings (not purchase)

construction of building is a capital expenditure so it is transferred from building fund which is a specific fund to capital fund

it is deducted from building fund as the amount is utilised for construction of building

it is shown on asset side as the amount is utilised for the creation of a fixed asset
