1. The depreciation account of the fixed asset being sold or discarded needs to be updated to reflect the months of use in the year it is being discarded or sold. The straight-line method of depreciation calculates the amount of depreciation to be recognized each year.
2. Be sure to record the selling price of the fixed asset. If the company no longer has the fixed asset what account(s) would need to be eliminated? Was there a gain or a loss on the sale?
