Thanks for the reply. Let me give a situation: A company enters in to contract with the customer to provide certain services. As a part of service, car need to be provided to customer. The company get a capex loan for purchasing the car. Now the car has to be invoiced to customer. In this scenario, whether company needs to capitalise or charge it off against the revenue received from customer.
Car shall be shown under fixed assets and loan against car shall be shown under Liabilty in B/S. Dep @ 15% shall be written off in P&L p.a
In that situation company has to capitalise it...
Thanks Radhika. But clarify, once the car is invoiced to customer. how to show the same in the B/S. Let me explain the case: As per the service contract with customer, the company is supposed to invoice the car to customer. Purchase of various assets along with car is funded by bank through capex loan. I am invoicing the car to customer as part of the contract. Once it is invoiced, it need not be part of the company asset. In this scenario, can the company show a capex loan without the asset that is invoiced to customer.
clarify whether the car is invoiced to customer just as per service contract?..you are not selling it to customer right.
