Dr cash or no trade receivables (proceeds) Dr accumulated deprecation on that asset (all that has accumulated) Dr loss (or cr gain) on sale. Cr non current asset (for original cost) E. g truck cost 84,000, accumulated deprecation at date of sale is 46,000 therefore book values is 38,000, and sells truck for 52,000 there is a gain on sale of 14,000. Accounting standards state that each class of noncurrent assets must be measured using either (a) the cost model or (b) the revaluation model. Class of asset refers to the category of assets. The asset is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. This carrying amount cannot exceed the recoverable amount. The asset whose fair value can be measured reliably is carried at a revalued amount.
