Hello can someone just remind me, if a company is purchasing an asset with a 20,000 loan is it just the depreciation cost that goes through the P&L or does the loan payment of say 1000 a month get written off to the P&L aswell? Can't remember if it does or if if just reduces the amount of debt on the balance sheet?

good question.
id guess at just reducing the liability on on the BS. so your credit entry would be the bank when the money goes out and your debit entry would be the BS to reduce the liability
id be intrigued to see what others think..we havnt got this far in class yet. or if we have i missed it0 -
When you pay off a loan, the payment is split between the interest and the capital. The capital part reduces the liability and the interest is written off in the profit and loss account.0
