sorry I think there will be no effect in hire purchaser books.It will be recorded only in hire vendor books.I think that installment amount will be treated as closing stock in books of hire vendor.

Can you please explain why there will not be any treatment in hire purchaser book?

Because installment is not due,So I think there is No obligation of hire purchaser.(Due means didn't reached date of payment).

So there will be no application of principle of prudence?

I think prudence concept doesn't require in this case because if installment is not paid automatically contract will be cancelled and hire vendor will take over asset and also hire purchaser too don't lose any thing because he too used the asset for some period.
