Document Summary

To illustrate the retirement of plant assets, assume that hobart company retires its computer printers, which cost ,000. The accumulated depreciation on these printers is ,000. The equipment, therefore, is fully depreciated (zero book value). The entry to record this retirement is as follows. In disposing of a plant asset, the company removes all amounts related to the asset. This includes the original cost in the asset account and the total depreciation to date in the accumulated depreciation account. In this case, the asset and its accumulated depreciation continue to be reported on the balance sheet, without further depreciation adjustment, until the company retires the asset. Reporting the asset and related accumulated depreciation on the balance sheet informs the financial statement reader that the asset is still in use. Once fully depreciated, no additional depreciation should be taken, even if an asset is still being used. In no situation can the accumulated depreciation on a plant asset exceed its cost.
