    Journal Entry for fixed asset paid via owners capital
    I have a question about how to log a journal entry.
    I have a piece of furniture that I want to enter as a fixed asset. It was paid by owners capital/investment.

    Would this be a double journal entry?

    What are my dr/cr entries?

    Thanks!

    Very useful, mayank.

    If I'm interpreting what happened correctly, you'd debit whatever asset account you want to use (like Furniture & Fixtures is a common name) and credit the owner's capital account. This isn't any different than the owner investing cash. An asset is an asset.

    Entry will be passed by Debiting Furniture A/c [Increase in assets - Dr] and crediting Capital A/c [Increase in Capital - Cr]
    I have followed the Modern Concept of Accounting.
