Hire Purchased Fishballs Accounting

I had a dream of fishballs last night. My friends and I were having a hotpot and we 'Hire-Purchased' a bag of 30 fishballs. Since we did not buy it with cash we thought how to account for it?

I took out a journal pad and accounted the hire-purchased fishballs.

Firstly we need to capitalised the 30 fisballs which cost 20 cents per ball.

Dr. Fishball $6

Cr. Unexpired HP Charges $6

Secondly, account for repayments if any. Assume the repayment is $2 per week.

Dr. Unexpired HP Charges $2

Cr. Bank $2

Continuing the repayments will eventually extinguish the fishballs liability when the HP charges balanced out. Fortunately for us, there weren't any interest rates charged, otherwise we would have need a repayment schedule. And to our relief, GST is absent because the balls are food supplies....phew.

After journalising it, we had a fantastical hot pot.
