1. If the machine is sold at profit the entry would be
Debtor A/c Dr.. Total amount receivable
Depreciation A/c Dr...Current year depreciation upto the date of sale

To Profit on sale of asset A/c - Profit.
While filling up the schedule of fixed assets, we will deduct gross cost from gross block, show current year depreciation in depreciation block and then deduct entire depreciation charged (accumulated depreciation at at the beginning of the year plus current year's depreciation) from depreciation block.
2. In case of sale of asset at a loss following entry shall be passed
Debtor A/c Dr.. Total amount receivable
Depreciation A/c Dr...Current year depreciation upto the date of sale
Loss on sale A/c Dr..Loss on sale
To Plant and Machinery A/c - WDV
The treatment that is to be given in fixed asset schedule, however, shall not change.
Such treatment effected in fixed assets schedule takes care of proper recording of profit or loss on sale of asset.
