COMMENTS

  • Repair of minor transit damage for which a claim is not made against the carrier should be charged to this account.
  • Labor and material used in installation of options and accessories on new vehicles should be charged to the appropriate new vehicle inventory account at the internal rates.
  • If the new car and new truck activities are organized as separate departments, charges to this account should be distributed directly to the departments generating the expense. See Departmentalization for further information.
