Registered Posts: 15 New contributor 🐸
Hi, can anyone help please? I can't get my head around the journal side of aquisition of a new fixed asset & disposal of the part ex. I've looked through my books, notes and passed papers but can't find a solution!
New van cost: £17600
Vat: £3080
RFL: £190
Part ex: £3500
Sundry Creditor: £17370
I'd put in my journal the van cost £17600 but was told this was incorrect because it was £14100. I've been stressing out over it ever since!
Thank you for any help!

DR Van 17,370
DR Vat 3,080
DR Motor vehicle expenses 190
CR Sundry creditors 17,370
CR Disposals 3,5000 -
Whoever told you to put 14100 in you journal was wrong. The cost of the van is 17600 and that's what should go in the accounts. What you get from the part exchange is irrelevant to the valuation of the asset.
I think tallrodney made an error and it should be dr Van 17600 but the rest is right.0 -
Hi, this was on our devolved and was my only error. I did it exactly as you have both said but the £17600 was marked as incorrect and I have to redo another question in the same format to prove that I'm competent!:confused1:0

would you not just owe the sundry creditors 14100 as they have taken a vehicle worth 3500 as part exchange??0 -
No, you wouldn't owe the sundry creditor £14100 as there's vat & road tax on the invoice too, the total due to them is £17370. But thanks anyway!0

Now I'm confused too - I can't see anyway how it's right to enter the new van in the books valued at 14100.Hi, this was on our devolved and was my only error.

if your disposing of a vehicle dont you have to credit the vehicle cost account that amount too?? and all the acc depn??0
-
Yes, but the question doesn't ask you to do that or give you the information needed, all it tells you is the amount you get in part exchange. You would in this case assume that the entries for the disposal have already been done0
-
I would be tempted to make 2 separate entries to the vehicle cost account
DR Vehicle Cost £14100
DR Vehicle Cost (p/x allowance) £3500
I'm doing FRA at the moment and we always make 2 entries if there is a p/x allowance.
But by the looks of this question so far, i'm aware this may not be correct....!!0 -

I think I may have sussed it out! Sorry, but you are given the cost of the disposal and its accumulated depreciation! The cost was £14000 & AD £10976.I think it should be:
DR motor vehicle cost £14100.00
DR Vat £3080.00
DR Selling Expenses £190.00
CR Sundry Creditors (£17370.00)
DR Motor vehicle cost £3500.00
CR Disposal (£3500.00)
DR Accum Depc'n £10976.00
DR Disposals £3024.00
CR Motor Vehicle Cost (£14000.00)
Phew, hope that's now right!0 -
