When a new machine is purchased, we have to determine the 2 aspects:-

 

1. Whether the life of the machine, if it has long life say more than 1 year.

2. The value of the machine.

 

In the 1st instance only the depreciated value of the machine is taken in P&L A/c.

If the life is less than a year than we have to taken the full value of the machine in P&L A/c.

 

In the 2nd instance if the machine value is less Eg:- Grinders cost is Aed. 500/- though may be valuable for 2 or more years, we can take  it in P&L A/c.

When a machinery is purchased there will be no effect on profit and loss statement. But if it is depreciated an entry will be written on debit side.

The purchase of a new machine that will be used in a business will affect the profit and loss statement, or income statement, when the machine is placed into service. At that point, depreciation expense will begin and there will likely be other expenses such as wages, maintenance, electricity, and so on.
