Please help me shed some light.
The primary focus of the company is the sales of used medical equipment. Revenue is below 7 million annually (below 25 million thresholds/3 years/ (TCJA) ).
Scenario 1. During most instrument repairs two or more instruments of the same model are utilized to make one complete. Each one of these (multiple) instruments has its own inventory entry prior to being combined. Once combined total original cost of both items becomes inventory costs for that item.
Question 1: If some of the instruments are procured to be used as parts only(eventually), can such instruments be immediately expensed? De Minimis policy is in place with a threshold of $2500.00. Also are they subject to sales tax? *Often such single instrument may supply repair parts used in the repairing of 2-3 other instruments over a period of few years.
Question2: If a used repair part that may eventually assist in the repair of an instrument is procured, can it be expensed right away?
Question3: If an instrument arrives defective to the point where future repair is not possible, can such instruments be written off and kept as spare parts. If not, then what inventory value shall be assigned?
Thank you!
