When you dispose of an asset it's:
CR fixed asset
DR disposals with original cost
DR disposals with accumulated depreciation
DR disposals with sale proceeds
Fill in the blank in the disposal account with the loss or gain.
There is a fantastic e-learning link on the AAT website for Unit 5, it explains disposals along with many many other things.
Good luck! :thumbup1:0 -
Hello,
To show an easy example:
Asset at Cost of £ 10 with Accum. Depreciation of £ 5 is sold for £ 4. Now without even looking at journals it is easy to see a loss on dispoal of £ 1.
The journals would look like:
1st Remove Asset at Cost
Dr Dispoals £ 10
Cr Asset at Cost £ 10
2nd Remove the Accumulated Depreciation
Dr Accum. Depreciation £ 5
Cr Dispoals £ 5
Last - deal with the proceeds
Dr Bank £ 4
Cr Dispoals £ 4
Draw up the T Account and the disposals should have a brought down balance of £ 1 on Debit side (ie: a loss)0 -
Opps don't know what happened to my 's' key - hope you understand anyway:001_smile:0
