20 August 2011 Depreciated Value Of Assets At Time Of Sale =Rs 725298.00
Depreciation Amount Till Sale =Rs884265.00
Sale Consideration =Rs 200000.00
Loss On Sale =Rs 505298.00
If All The Above Information Is Right Then There is No Need For Any Adjustment As You Just Have To pass A Simple Journal Entry & That is:
Bank A/C Dr-200000.00
P/L A/C Dr-505298.00(Loss On Sale)
Machinery A/C Cr-725298.00
884265.00 Is Nothing But The Depreciation Amount That You Have Deducted From Assets Every Year Here It Looks That You Have Not Transferred The depreciation Amount To Profit & Loss Account.
For Checking Your Account You need To First Check The Ledger Of That machinery & Depreciation
