Quick Summary

For a bed and breakfast business, food purchased for guest breakfast is a direct food expense. Kitchen utensils, crockery, and cutlery are generally treated as consumables if short-lived. Soft furnishings such as mattresses, sheets, and curtains are typically capitalized as furniture or furnishings.

2. Kitchen utensils etc. shall be booked as consumables as expected life is less than 1 year.
