During the year 2008, May 1st sold equipment that cost $600,000 when purchased on January 1, 2003. The equipment was sold for $350,000.
This is what I had. It stated that I need 2 transactions.
Debit Equipment 600,000
Credit Cash 600,00
Then
Dr - cash $350,000
Dr Accumulated equipm $250,00
Cr - gain on disposal $250,000
Cr - equipment $350,000
Does this make sense?

You need to record the acquisition of the equip on Jan 1st, 2003. Am I understanding it correctly?
Dr Equip
Cr Cash
To record cost basis of new equip as 1/1/03
Disposal of asset w/out gain or loss.
What is your accumulative depreciation? 250K?
If so, this is what you do?
Cost basis for Equip 600K
Less: Accum Depre 250K
Book Value 350K
Proceed from sales 350K
No gain or loss 0
Dr. Cash 350K
Dr. Accum Depre 250K
Cr. Equipment 600k
To record disposal of asset

Yes, the sale of the land JE is correct. You only need remove the asset from your books and recognize and gain/loss for the difference since GAAP does not permit depreciation on land.
