[GNC] how-to track refinancing and other cost related to it.

[Adrien Monteleone]

Same way as on paper.

Both of those are expenses. There may be a way to do that with 
sub-accounts though. I think some folks use an 'accumulated 
depreciation' sub-account to not affect the main asset account for that 
item.

The same might be possible with the financing expenses, but are those 
really expenses of that particular asset? It was used as collateral to 
finance something *else* so I would think those financing costs are part 
of acquiring *them* and not the collateral.

Adrien
