NO TREATMENT OF PURCHASING CO. IS NOT CORRECT SINCE WAIVER OF RETAINED AMOUNT AMOUNTS TO CAPITAL PROFIT & NOT REVENUE PROFIT . HENCE COST OF CAPITAL ASSETS SHOULD BE ADJUSTED

Rs. 10 is in the nature of discount, the value of fixed asset has to be reduced by this amount. Can not be transferred to P&L Account.

1. When the seller agreed to waive off the amount, you can make an entry to this effect, and take confirmation from the seller in this respect.
2. In my opinion, Depreciation should be reversed proportionately with this amount.
