How do you dispose of fixed assets?

When fixed assets are to be disposed of, the accumulated depreciation upt to that point is looked at to calculate the net book value.

This would then show the company if they made a profit or a loss when they sold the fixed asset with a profit being made when the selling price is higher than the net book value.

Regardless of the price the fixed asset is sold at, the company would record a credit to the fixed asset (machinery) account to show that the fixed asset account is decreasing.

In conclusion, there will be a credit to machinery.
