05 August 2010 1. Computer software. (This is to be amortised over a period of 1 yr).
2. Computer consumables (you can keep debiting DVD/CD/laptop cleaners/catridges/toners to this acccount).
3.Computer external memory devices. (you can debit HDD/Pendrives to this account). Alternatively, you can keep debiting these expenses also to the computer consumables account.
4. Debit AMC paid to a seperate "AMC - prepaid" account which can be amortised over a period of 1 year.(since the AMC tenure will be valid for 1 yr).
5. Just look at the nature of the expense, purpose and determine.
