Question

The entity’s manufacturing division, whose assets constituted 75% of its total assets at September 30, Year 5 (end of year), was sold on November 1, Year 5. The new owner assumed the bonded indebtedness associated with this property. How should this event be presented in the financial statements?

Answer 1

The event should be presented in the financial statements as follows:

1. The assets side of the balance sheet will be reduced by 75%, with its accompanying accumulated depreciation.

2. The bonded liability on the balance sheet is eliminated by the relevant amount.

3. The journal entry should debit the Bonded Liability and accumulated depreciation, while the assets worth 75% are credited.

4. If the bonded indebtedness is more than 75% of the assets, the company records a profit on disposal on the income statement. Otherwise, it records a loss. If they are equal, there is no profit or loss.

Thus, the difference between the debit and credit entries constitutes either profit or loss on disposal.
