Not sure, but just remember, depreciation is an expense so it always goes on the debit side, and accumulated dep'n is recorded on the credit side.
-Debit depreciation with the amount of depreciation charge for the year
-Credit accumulated depreciation with the same amount
for disposals i usually do as follows
1)Credit asset account with the cost of the asset,
Debit disposal with the same amount
2) Debit accumulated depreciation with the accumulated depreciation for the asset in question
Credit disposals with the same amount
If the old asset has been traded in, do this:
3) Debit the asset account with the amount trade in
Credit disposals with the same amount
Hope this helps.0 -
you just have to remember that you have to put 3 things in disposal:
Original cost of asset DEBIT
Accumulated Depreciation CREDIT
NET SALES proceeds CREDIT
if you remember this you can work out everything else by reversing0 -
