Tools

Are small tools fixed assets or expenses? I purchased a blade that cost $70. These tools I need for machines to run production.

most of the time is a different tool. It could be industrial needles or different parts for machines, and costs vary from $5.00 - $200 

I have an account set up as: 

Expense - Repairs and Maintenance

 

It is different but it might fall under the same account category. If I build an extra room inside my warehouse, I purchased all the materials, and to me sounds like it could be an expense although a fixed asset because in the end it became a small room/building.

  • wall & roof sheathing.
  • Framing materials.
  • Fasteners.
  • Interior and exterior finishing materials.
  • Plumbing materials and fixtures.
  • Materials for the electrical system.
  • Windows and doors.

And if we paid a licensed electrician and plumber to do couple job in the warehouse would the transaction be recorded as 

contract labor - expense

or Expense - Repair and maintenance?. 

 

Thank you in advance.
