USA Depreciation of display cases

[bugtussellmom]

I should know the answer to this, but I want a second opinion. My company has ventured into selling plumbing and tile. We purchased display furniture for the consignment inventory (plumbing and tile samples in our showroom and in others). I need to know if I simply add the cost of the display furniture to the consignment inventory. Or, do I need to make those display cases an asset and depreciate them?

I hope my question makes sense. I appreciate your help.

I'm new here by the way. I am well versed in Peachtree Accounting so I will be glad to hang out here in the future to help others. I had no idea such forums existed! Good to know!

The first point simply add the cost of the display furniture to the consignment inventory.That's will be correct in this regard.
I strongly refused that those display cases an asset and depreciate them.
