28 November 2012 It is advisable to account as Fixed asset (office equipment) as the cost of chair is Rs.8000/- which is substantial.
Even the cost is Rs.1800/- you have to consider as fixed asset and inventory to be maintained.

Generally, if each item cost of fixed asset less than Rs. 5000/-, the entire amount should be written off as depreciation.
