Hi. I am new to accounting. Can anyone help me with this transaction? Do not know how to record it in the general journal, i.e. what gets debited/credited (step-by-step).
------
A company purchased 1) a building for $3,200 and 2) land for $2,700 and paid for all of these 1) by cash in the amount of 4,100 and 2) by taking a 10-year mortgage in the amount of 1,800.
------
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks. BB |

| Have a look at the publications of Bank for Inernational Settlements to see if there is any help, although some of docs are more than 20 years old, which is another uncomfort to me who get used to follow the international docs of within 10 years of age :lol: |

DR Land $2,700 (Property, Land & Equipment)
DR Building $3,200 (Property, Land & Equipment)
CR Bank $4,100 (Current Asset)
CR Mortgage $1,800 (Long Term liability)
At the end of each month make 2 Journal entries for the depreciation of the building
