Hi, We are dealing (Trading) in diagnostic instrument and treat them as our inventory. Now we have transfered some instrument to our employees for testing purpose and they will never be sold. They will either be given back by the employees at the time of resignation or transfered to new employees. Now can we treat these instrument as our fixed assets and chrged depreciation. What is according to AS and what are the necessary entries to be passed.

Many Thanks in advance

As ownership will be in the name of the company it self you can transfer it to your fixed assets and claim depreciation.

if i assume this testing as some kind of research then it will be treated as expenditure. As per AS 26 ( intangible asset) any exp incurred toward research will be treated as expense.
