Point Company paid $4,000 cash to purchase a new machine. The company also paid $500 cash for an initial training cost that was necessary to teach an employee how to operate the machine. Which of the following represents the journal entry that would be necessary to record all capitalized costs related to the purchase of the machine?debit machine (4500), credit cash (4500)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Dr Machinery $4500

Cr Cash                      $4500

Explanation:

The reason is that the Internation Accounting Standard IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment says that the company must capitalized all those costs that are necessary to make the asset ready to use which means that the cost of training which is $500 and purchasing cost which is $4000 must be capitalized as part of the asset.

So the entry would be:

Dr Machinery $4500

Cr Cash                      $4500
