COMMENTS

  • Labor and material used in placing used vehicles in saleable condition are considered reconditioning and should be added to the inventory cost of the individual used vehicle.
  • If used vehicle activities are organized into two or more separate departments, charges to this account should be distributed directly to the departments generating the expense. See Departmentalization for further information.
