T-accounts: Entry for Complex Capital Investment
by Criz
Q:Owner invested PHp (Philippine Pesos) 500,000 cash along with computer equipment that had a market value of php. 120,000 two years ago but was now worth php. 100,000 only... What do I enter in the T accounts? A: I'm going to show this in journal entry form rather than as a T-account as it is much easier that way. It should not be hard to work out the T-account from the journal entries here: Debit: Bank...............500,000 Credit: Capital.....................500,000 Debit: Computer equipment..................100,000 Credit: Capital.......................................100,000 Or you can do both of these 2 entries in one combined entry: Debit: Bank.....................500,000 Debit: Computer equipment......100,000 Credit: Capital.........................................600,000 The result is the same. By the way, I assumed above that the owner is starting his business right now, not 2 years ago. If he started the business 2 years ago the value of the computer for the journal entry would be the value at that time - i.e. 120,000.
