/Getty Images An office chair is either an expense or a fixed asset. How you classify the office chair in your journal entry depends on whether the chair cost is over or under your company's capitalization limit. If you record the office chair as a fixed asset, you also must depreciate the chair over its expected useful life. Useful Life The office chair must be useful to your business for more than one year for you to classify it as a fixed asset. Most companies use an office chair for longer than one year, so barring an unforeseen circumstance, your office chair likely meets this standard. Capitalization Limit Whether you will classify your office chair as a fixed asset or expense depends on the second criteria to classify a purchase as an asset: whether the cost of the chair is over or under your company's capitalization limit. Your company's capitalization limit is a bar set by you and your accountant as criteria to determine what constitutes an expense and what constitutes an asset.
If you do not know your company's capitalization limit, speak to your accountant before recording this entry. If the cost of the chair is higher than the capitalization limit, record the chair as a fixed asset. If the cost of the chair is lower than the capitalization limit, record the chair as an expense. Depreciation To depreciate an asset, you expense the reduced value of the item over time. For example, if you determined that your chair lost 25 percent of its value each year, then each year, for four years, when you record depreciation, you would increase the expense account for the office with a debit and decrease the asset account for furniture with a credit. Fixed Asset Record the journal entry for the purchase of the chair as a fixed asset. Increase the asset account you have set up for furniture with a debit for the amount of the purchase. If you paid cash for the chair, decrease the asset account "cash" for the amount of the purchase. If you bought the chair using credit, increase the accounts payable account with a credit to accounts payable for the amount of the purchase.
