    First you have to calculate 3 years of depreciation. So take your cost minus your salvage value to get your depreciable base. Then take your depreciable base and divide it by 5 to get your depreciation per year. Now take your depreciation times 3 to get your accumulated depreciation amount.

    Your accounts to journalize the transaction will be cash, equipment, accumulated depreciation, and either a gain on sale or a loss on sale. Just plug-in the amounts for the accounts you know with the appropriate debit or credit, then solve for the missing amount, which will either be a debit to loss on sale or a credit to gain on sale.
