That's kind of a matter of your specific company's policy, but in general, expenses that you incur which are both necessary for and a direct result of the travel are reimbursable, and anything else is not. So your lodging, meals, and transportation expenses are generally reimbursable, while pretty much anything else is not. Also, there is usually a maximum allowable amount of food expense per day or per meal, and a maximum allowable hotel rate depending on your destination city (for example,your company may specify a higher permissible amount for a hotel in a major city like New York or Tokyo than one in, say, Nebraska), and anything you spend over that amount is expected to come out of your own pocket.

Many companies have an in-lieu-of policy, that allows you to spend a certain amount of money on gifts to someone who is providing you with something that would otherwise be a reimbursable expense. For example, if a friend who lives in the city you travel to allows you to stay in their house instead of getting a hotel, your company will probably reimburse you for a gift to your friend (that costs less than a hotel would have).

What do you debit and credit when recording depreciation expense?

There are two ways to record depreciation. With and without using a contra t-account for accumulated depreciation. Example The company buys a machine for 100,000. The residual value is 0 and the expected economic lifetime is 10 years. Using straight line method this results in a yearly depreciation expense of 10,000. Without a contra t-account Depreciation expense machine debit 10,000; machines credit for 10,000. At the end of (say) the third year, machines has a debit value of 70,000. With a contra t-account Depreciation expense machine debit 10,000; accumulated depreciation machines credit for 10,000. At the end of (say) the third year, machines still has a debit value of 100,000. Accumulated depreciation machines has a credit value of 30,000. Jointly they show the net value (or book value) of 70,000, which is the same as when no contra t-account is used.
