Disposals of Fixed Assets

Think of it as two elements -

1) the disposal; and
2)the profit/loss on sale.

1) To dispose of an asset you need to remove it from fixed assets - therefore cost and accumlated depreciation both need removing - with the net book value going to the "Sale of Fixed Assets" in the P&L a/c. This latter entry will be a debit (or zero if completely written down).

2) Once the asset has been removed you are half way there - all you need to then do is match up the proceeds. These will either come from the bank or cash account or perhaps a sales invoice. Basically, wherever they come from you want to ensure that the credit entry of the transaction goes to the "Sale of Fixed Assets" in the P&L a/c. The resultant debit or credit on this account is then your loss or profit on disposal.
