Hello everyone. I need help recording the $7,000 down payment made by the company's owner in the form of cash when he purchased the company truck at the dealership.

So far, I have:

Set the fixed asset account as "Work Truck" with an opening balance (which does not include the $7,000 contribution.) And,

I have created a long-term liability account- detail "notes payable"- named "Truck loan" that does not include the $7,000 contribution. 

I appreciate all the help!

We have to either create a liability to be paid to the Partner/Owner/Director or the same can be used to increase the partners/owners capital in the firm/organisation. A lot of others compliances are also needs to be taken care based on the nature of organisation and the local laws for these transactions of the region
