Capital budgeting is driven by cash flow of a firm and not accounting P&L. Hence loss of asssest will not be part of cash flows but the tax shield on that loss will be. However, if the asset is being replaced by a new one then, cash flow for new assest will show as outflow in your capital budgeting.
