Land $50,000
Bldg $550,000
Accumulated Dep: Building at the date of disposal $250,000

I don't understand how I am suppose to write this out. I need this ASAP homework due tomorrow

You have to calculate the gain on disposal and carry this to a gain on disposal account whilst zeroing the various balances for the assets and the depreciation at the same time you must record the cash received and the new asset in the form of a receivable
