Capital reserve

Now if a company sells Building having a WDV value of RS:5 lakhs for RS:50 lakhs and having an accumulated depreciation of RS:15 lakhs

Then amount transferred to :

profit and loss account would be Rs: 15 lakhs 

Capital reserve wolud be              Rs: 30 lakhs

And  to assets would be                Rs: 5 lakhs

 

I am right in respect of this?

Pls help

45 lakhs will be transfer to profit & loss a/c and 50 lakhs will be credited to building a/c

by doing this dont u think that you will be violating the matching concept priciple as anything in excess of purchase cost should be trated as capital reserve

the journal entry should be--

CASE I

if provision for depr a/c also opened:

 

Bank A/c                     Dr.   50L

Provision for depr     Dr.  15L

                       To  Fixed Asset                20L

                       To Gain on sale               45L

                       

 

CASE II

id shown on net basis directly:

 

Bank A/c Dr.   50L

        To Fixed Asset               5L

        To Gain on sale             45L  

 

plz correct me if m wrng

My question is whether  30 lakhs should be treated as capital reserve
