    Vehicle Purchase w/finance charges
    How book a vehicle w/cash down and finance charges - what is the cost that is entered as the fixed asset and depreciated?

    pready
    Debit Vehicle for the total cost
    Credit Cash for the amount paid
    Credit Notes Payable for the difference.

    For depreciation it depends on what method you are using and the useful life of the asset.

    Vehicle Purchase Booking
    Hi Pready -answered my question partially - the S/L is for 5 years. Also, is the f/chrg included in the total vehicle cost? How is the f/chrg booked?
