    USING EXCEL IF POSSIBLE.
    1) POST : Trial balance before adjustments.

    2) CREATE : Three Journal Entries to portray re:
    Disposal of an asset

    3) POST : Number 2. above

    4) SHOW US :- The New Trial Balance.

    You must have a go in creating the Journal Entries.
    Have a go yourself and show us.
    We will help you correct what you do.

    Is the Depreciation for the laptop up-to-date prior to the sale.

    If it is, then the journal entry to record the sale is:
    Debit Cash for 2,000
    Debit Accumulated Depreciation for 226.46
    Debit Loss on sale of asset for 57.54
    Credit PP&E - Laptop for 2284
