Live stock


This query is : Resolved 

09 April 2012 suppose i purchased a dog worth rs 5000 for security of my business.how should i account for it?

10 April 2012 Dogn is not a fixed assets and you are not sure when it will die. So keep it under current assets under the head Animals as you cannot take depreciation on dog. Now, the next question will come what will happen to the expenditure on the dog? The expenditure on dog can be debited to the head either Watch & Wards or Estate Protection Expense.

10 April 2012 It can be treated as a live stock and can be capitalised as a fixed asset.
However, it cannot be depreciated but at the end of the reporting period, the difference between the cost and FMV shall be written off to P&L (in case of loss).
