    Have you read the guidelines?

    The question lacks important information:
    1. Date of purchase of equipment
    2. Accounting year end

    The usual procedure is to transfer the original cost and accumulated depreciation to Disposal account. The sales proceeds are recorded in this account, the resulting balance is profit or loss on disposal.
