Sir then what about accumulated depreciation???
=Dr. Depreciation A/c
Cr.Accumulated Depreciation A/c

=Dr.Accumulated dep A/c
Cr Fixed Asset A/c

Is this right sir???

This is okay

=Dr. Depreciation A/c
Cr.Accumulated Depreciation A/c

for example :
If asset cost - 100
depreciation - 10 ( x 3 years) = 30

then accumulated dep value 30.

After that calculate FA value 70...

Both account will be maintain end of the years...
