Hi Mei,
The sentence means that when the proceeds of the disposal of the car were received they were initially and incorrectly credited to sales, so the journal would of looked like,
Dr Bank £ 5,000
Cr Sales £ 5,000
As the sale of the car was a disposal of a fixed asset and not a sales item (ie: sales are made up of the normal trading activity of the business) this need to be removed from sales and credited instead to disposals,
Dr Sales £ 5,000
Cr Disposals £ 5,0000 -
thanks for your reply, good luck with exams.0
