The amount you are billed is the amount you pay and it is reported as just that. You report the dollar amount you pay out and report the same. There is no "value" factor involved in that process. If what you are purchasing is going to increase in value, such as a piece of equipment, it does not belong under accounts payable, rather under capital expense.
