The equipment sold is used. The selling price is direct from your settlement sheet.The underlying assets sold may have a current value of zero if fully depreciated. When we're talking about the gain or loss of the sale of an asset we need to be looking at net book value at the time of the sale. Journalize entries for sale of assets. I'm stuck on how to record the sale of this asset, showing the closing cost and net gain on this journal entry. Asset accounts are debit-balance, and Revenue accounts are credit-balance.
