17 September 2015 Dear Experts

A company has a canteen in office premises to service employees lunch/dinner etc.

Now employees eat from canteen, dont pay anything and whatever they have eaten gets deducted from their monthly salary as Canteen Deduction.

Now my query is what are the entries the company pass in its books with respect to canteen.

1) when canteen buys food material - Entry?

2) Is this food material current asset?

3) Entry at the time when employee comes, eats and go away?

4) entry at the time of deduction from salary?

regards
