Answer 1

Answer with its Explanation:

On February 14, the repairment of transmission is the repair and maintenance cost and hence it must be accounted for as an expense.

The Double entry would be:

Dr Repairs and Maintenance Expense       $2,300

Cr                                           Cash                       $2,300

On the same date, the installation of GPS system is an addition of an asset in the delivery truck hence it must be capitalized.

The Double entry would be:

Dr Delivery Van  $450

Cr                    Cash       $450
