Sir, the fixed asset is imported in December 2007 and is capitalised at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of bill of entry. The purchase consideration is payable only after 180 days. when the balance sheet is prepared, the current liabilities and the fixed assets have been shown at the rate as on 31.03.08 and the difference is adjusted to Fixed assets and taken to P&L account. Depreciation also adjusted accordingly. Is this entry correct?
