Sale proceeds of the assets is more than the cost then over and above the cost is considered as capital reserve. sales value is Rs. 120. cost of the asset is Rs. 100 book value of the asset is Rs. 75
total profit is Rs.45. out of Rs. 20 is capital reserve. (120-100) balance is credited to profit and loss a/c Rs. 25/- (100-75)
Hi Satish, thank you so much for clearing doubts on the above, however, could you please explain that why we are doing so means some part to C/R & some part to P/L..??
Any amount which is realised from sale of asset over and above the cost of that asset is in capital. not revenue. why because our business is not established for selling of assets so capital nature. Ex:- in auto mobile show room selling of vehicle is sale of product. revenue income. where as selling of a vehicle by common public, here vehicle is the asset in the hands of public. so any profit by selling of asset is capital profit.
going forward to the above query which was about p/l on sale of PPE, if plant is having cost 20,000 Book value 14,000 sale value 18,000
in this case, sale value is less than cost price so my question is this nothing will be transferred to capital reserve as sales price is less than cost.
could you please journalise the same for my reference ..
