asset retirement accounting entries
Hi,
We have an asset worth with cost of 13964.29 that is retired, with proceed of 1000. The proceed is VAT applicable at 12%.
We expect that following entries would be created:
DR Accumulated Depr 13964.29
CR Fixed Asset 13964.29
DR Proceeds 1000
CR Gains 892.86
CR VAT 107.14
After running the Create Accounting Entries process, the above entries were created, with additional accounting line of
CR Loss 892.86
Can someone explain this? Is my setup incorrect?
Thank you.
