how do you find the gain of disposal?
Gain on disposal of asset:
Fixed Asset:
Cash Dr (Amt Received)
Accumulated Depreciation Dr. (Book Value)
Fixed Asset Cr (Book Value)
Gain on Sale of Asset Cr (Balancing Figure)
In other words, Cash Received - (Fixed assets book value - Accumulated Depreciation Book value) = Gain on sale, if it's a positive value.
In case Accumulated Depreciation is not there and Fixed assets are at net value adjusted of depreciation then, Cash Received - Fixed Assets (net)= Gain, if it's a positive value.
cash received should be greater than (Assets - Accumulated Depreciation) or Net Value of Asset.
