    Hi,
    Maybe a silly question but what is double entry for a non-current asset disposal when the asset is already fully depreciated and scrapped with no proceeds?

    I recorded:
    Dr Accumulated depreciation a/c
    Cr Fixed Asset a/c

    … and I was told that I missed something. I don’t know what could that be?! No proceeds, fully depreciated… so it’s only 2 entries. No? What is missing?

    Should entries go through disposal a/c even though it would be in and out (Dr and Cr with the same amount) situation?

    Normally we would go through a disposal account because normally there will be scrap proceeds.
    However in this example, your entry is fine 🙂
