17 May 2008 You have no option, if the asset is impaired, but to write it off.

19 May 2008 i could not understand this ans plz give me proper ans thanks a lot for prevoius ans

19 May 2008 better if u could sold the asset even at scrap value. by doing this u can book short term loss and avail tax benefit.

as far accounting is concerned, gain/loss on sale of asset is considered exceptional gain/loss and shown after net profit in p&l.
