This discussion explains how to account for a refundable deposit when purchasing a POS swipe machine. It provides a specific journal entry to record the purchase, correctly classifying the swipe machine as a non-current asset and the security deposit as a current asset on the balance sheet.

Pass following entry .

Note -
