Quick Summary
This discussion explains how to record the sale of a school motor car. It details the journal entries required, including accounting for depreciation up to the sale date and booking the sale proceeds. Any difference between the car's net book value and the sale price is recognised as a loss on sale, which is then transferred to the Income & Expenditure account. The depreciation charged is also transferred to the Income & Expenditure account.

Yes, Depreciation will be provide.

After that book the car's sale value Rs.200000/-.

After (Depreciation Value + Sale value) these value balance amount will be book as "LOSS ON SALE OF CAR".

How to pass journal entry for the transaction :

1St provide Depreciation:

The journal entries are made then the car account as ZERO...
Dose not make any difference, if you pass combine entry or single single entries, Motor Car account going to close in both the way .
Yes, You are Correct.

But, I'm not saying any difference in this both way as Single Single entry or Combine entry.

Lower of carrying amount and sale value and CA has depreciation but fair value is usually lower than ca. It could have been higher of ca or sale value
