Personal Funds Into Account

by Ashley
(Omaha, NE, USA)

We are a small business and every once in awhile we get low in the bank account and the owner will put his own personal funds into the account to build it back up. How do I track that in bookeeping so we can make sure he gets reimbursed and it does not show as an income? Also, when he accidently uses the company credit card for personal use..I would like to use that as "paying back" for when he puts money into the company.

Personal laptop

by Poppy

The owner of a business introduces a laptop computer valued at £1100 into his business (this was his personal property).

The entries would be:-

a) Debit capital account
Credit office equipment

b) Debit office equipment
Credit drawings account

c) Debit office equipment
Credit capital account

d) None of these

I believe the answer is C.

When an owner contributes either property or money into a business, they would debit the asset account (Office Equipment) and credit the owners contribution account (Capital).

Personal Loan Paid by Company

I am paying my personal automobile loan with my company. What account do I put that in? Since the company does not have the loan in it's name, do I only put the loan under Automobile Expense?

Hi Dina,

Thanks for your inquiry. The money paid from your business account on your personal automobile loan should be put to a subdirectory account under Owner's Draw called Automobile Expense.
