Best Answer

Record the purchase of gold the same as any other investment, stocks, bonds, or inventory (if you are a dealer). When you buy stocks and you record the investment it is recorded at the original cost. When you sell it you have a gain or loss from when you purchased the investment. You can also use the equity method where you recognize your gains or losses at the end of each year. This is not recommended. If you are in the jewelery business this just inventory raw materials purchases.
