When investing in a joint venture, the value of various assets invested by the enterprise shall be accounted for in the subject of "long-term investment-other investments", with the borrower reflecting the increase of investment and the lender reflecting the decrease or recovery of investment. The assets invested by enterprises can be liquid assets such as cash, deposits and inventories, as well as intangible assets such as fixed assets, advanced technological achievements, patents and trademarks.

1, the price of the invested assets.

When an enterprise contributes capital in cash or deposit, it shall be recorded as "long-term investment" according to the actual amount invested.

Example 1. Company A has invested in Company B, and has a correlation period of 10 years. The invested assets are: a certain equipment, the original book price is 200,000 yuan, which has been depreciated by 20,000 yuan, and the equipment is priced at160,000 yuan; 50,000 yuan of unrecorded land use rights; An unused patent right purchased before has an original book price of 2000 yuan and a selling price of 24000 yuan, and another bank deposit of 100000 yuan.

The accounting treatment of Company A is as follows:

(1) Investment in fixed assets.

Borrow: long-term investment-other investments 160000.

Loan: fixed assets of 200,000 yuan.

(2) Investment in intangible assets.

When an investment enterprise recovers its investment after the dissolution and liquidation of the joint venture, it debits the relevant subjects and credits the subject of "long-term investment-other investments", but the recovered assets may be inconsistent with the assets originally invested; The recovered investment may be different from the amount of funds invested, and the difference shall be debited or credited to the subject of "investment income" as an increase or decrease in investment income.

Example 3: Company A in example 1 received a deposit of 270,000 yuan when it recovered its investment during the joint venture; Another car, the original price is 90,000, and the price is 45,000 when the enterprise is dissolved and liquidated.
