Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether bamboo and plywood used by a construction company should be classified as a fixed asset or a material purchase. The total value is £110,000. While one opinion suggests they are consumables due to reduction with use, others argue that if reusable with a useful life over one year, they should be capitalised as Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) and amortised.

In my opinion, bamboo should be accounted as consumables with stock because with every use the no. of bamboo and plywood will  keep on getting reduced. 

 

 

Not necessarily. If you want to use it as tools then obviously it's a fixed asset.

If it's 11 lakh of bamboo then your auditor will also likely ask you to capitalise it.

If those are reusable and expected useful life is more than one year then you may account it as PPE
Amortization or preliminary expenses.
