2.Stock & Debtor Method: Similar to the branch accounts, here also we prepare several accounts under this method. 1. First is Shop Stock Account. All the entries are recorded at cost price and when goods are sold on hire purchase, it is transferred to Goods Sold on HP Account.

2. Next we prepare Goods Sold on HP Account. 3. Next we prepare Hire Purchase Stock Account. It represents the HP price of the goods lying with the customers but installment not yet due. As and when installment falls due, amount is transferred from this account to Hire Purchase Debtors Account. 4. Next we prepare Hire Purchase Debtors Account. When installments fall due, they are debited to this account and it is credited when the amount is received. Hence the balances of this account reflect amount due but not received from the debtors. 5. Lastly we prepare Hire Purchase Adjustment Account, as we know all the entries in HP Stock Account is recorded at HP Price, hence the profit part of it is immediately recorded in this account on the opposite side of the original entry. Any other expenses relating to the HP business is also recorded in it and the balancing figure shows the profit or loss earned from Hire Purchase Business. Format is given below:
