Is a calculator an equipment or office supply?
Sesanian asked:
My accounting teach expresses that I did an entry wrong on a general ledger because I listed a calculator as an office supply and not an equipment. Is this correct? Please give sources.

A calculator is a piece of small office equipment. Office supplies are items like paper, pens, toner etc that get used and replaced regularly. Designer~Wife

It’s considered more equipment because of what it does. If office supply was wrong, then I would lean more towards equipment.

At one time it was considered Equiptment, mostly because of the high cost and it was not disposable.
It was a substantial item that depreciated in value over a longer term.
I recently bought a calculator for $1.25. I do not consider it Office Equiptment. It is disposable. MAC

I would say it would depend on the calculator. If it one of these calculators that you can get as freebies at tradeshows and cost about 59-cents, it is an office supply. If it costs $99 and can make your coffee than it could be equipment. sbinlb
