    You must record depreciation for this year.
    Dr. Dep. Expense 900
    Cr. Acc. Dep 900

    Now, you sold it for $1,000, so you need to whipe it off your books
    Dr. Cash 100
    Dr. Acc. Dep 9,600+900=10,500
    Cr. Old Truck 11,000
    Cr. Gain on sale of truck 500 (100+10,500=11,500-11,000)

    You can also combine the 2 journal entries….
    Dr. Dep. Expense 900
    Dr. Cash 100
    Dr. Acc. Dep 9,600
    Cr. Old Truck 11,000
    Cr. Gain on sale of truck 500 (100+10,500=11,500-11,000)


    Remember:
    When you INCREASE as asset, you debit it. When you DECREASE it, you credit it.
