First if the equipement will last more than one year, Second, it depends on the company policy, if there is a scale for the aquisition price to record assets.
And20 USD doesn't seem to be a big amount of money, I would expense it , but , again it depends on the size and company policy
As long as that equipment have probable future economic benefits and can be controlled by the entity, it should be recorded as asset. So letter A.
i think its an asset..
you'll debit asset and credit cash
when you see principles of cost accounting you will find:
it depends on time period for the company to benefit from the equipment
if it less than one year>>>you can record it as expenses
if it more than one year>>>you can record it as assets
Do not look at the price but you must to see the equipment benefit
