On february 14, garcia associates co. paid $2,300 to repair the transmission on one of its delivery vans. in addition, garcia paid $450 to install a gps system in its van.

(a) To record the repair to the transmission on one of its delivery vans, the resulting journal entry is:

(Dr) Repairs and Maintenance Expense, $2,300

(Cr) Cash, $2,300

The repair of the transmission is an expenditure that returns the vehicle to its previous operating condition. The repair results in an increase to Repairs and Maintenance Expense (an increase to an expense is a debit) and a decrease to Cash (a decrease to an asset is a credit).

(b) To record the installation of a GPS system in one of its delivery vans, the resulting journal entry is:

(Dr) Delivery Van, $450
