    Disposal of asset journals
    I need to record journals for gain/loss of vehicle sold 1 March 2009.

    Net proceeds $7500
    WDV 30/6/08 = $10500
    Depreciation 15% reducing balance

    I have calculated this way

    10,500/6.67 X 200% X 0.67 (8months depreciation) = 2109
    Value of car at sale $8,391

    How do I record this balancing journal? Is it a loss on sale of $891?

    Thanks

    If you would do 10,500 x .15 x 200% x 8/12 you would avoid all those rounding issues and end up with a nice neat 2100.

    But... otherwise yes you've got the idea.
