Hi
The only way I can hink to explain is with an example, so, for example:
You sell a motor vehicle for £5000 which has a net book value of £4000, original cost £10000 so depreciation to date is £6000.
Cash Receipt for Sale
DR Cash Book £5000
CR Motor Vehicle Disposal Account £5000
Journal in main ledger
CR Motor Vehicles £10000
DR Provision for depreciation £6000
CR P & L £1000
DR Motor Vehicle Disposal Account £5000
Hope this helps

I just rememeber
1. Journal the Asset into the Disposal Account
2. Journal the Accumulated Depreciation into the Disposal Account
3. Enter the cash recieved from the sale
4. Balance off the account
A debit balance indicates an expense(loss) and a credit balance income(profit)0
