Quick Summary
The discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for profits made on the sale of fixed assets. It's generally agreed that such profits should be credited to the Profit & Loss account, often disclosed as an extraordinary item. While it contributes to the net profit, a separate Capital Reserve account exists for other purposes.

It should be transferred to p/l a/c automatically it will be added to capital reserve by transferring the profit to reserve
Means it is included in calculating net profit.
There is a seperate account called capital reserve.
Yes it can be included
It is credited to profit & loss account only.
it is an extraordinary item, so it is be disclosed in profit & loss account separately.
