Jv's needed on sale of fixed assets are

 

Dr. Cash / bank

Dr. Accumulated depreciaton                 ( full amount in the books, assuming that company provided depreciaton till the date of sale or as per depreciation policy)

To check Whether the Depreciation has been provided till date of Sale.

During the Sale of Fixed Assets, both the asset value and accumulated depreciation must be brought to " Disposal A/c". The payment recieved on sale should be brought to the credit of Disposal a/c. the balance in this Disposal A/c will be the "Profit/Loss" on sale of fixed asstes.

The JV's will be:

. Disposal A/c...Dr

      To Fixed Asset a/c

. Accumulated Depreciation a/c..... Dr.

       To Disposal A/c......

. Cash/ Bank A/c.....Dr.

        To Disposal A/c......

The Balance Profit/ Loss in Disposal Ac/c is transferred to P&L A/c
