How is gain/loss on asset retirement calculated?
How is gain or loss on an asset retirement calculated?
I have a scenario where we have an asset with more than one cost, and it seems like the gain loss calculation does not work properly for it.
Original Value of Asset = 1194.29
Partially impaired for -738.28
Asset is fully depreciated over time.
After asset is fully depreciated, it is retired with no proceeds.
The dist_ln rows created are like:
Distribution Type | Cost Type | Amount |
---|---|---|
FA | -1194.29 | |
AD | 1194.29 | |
NV | 738.28 | |
FA | I | 738.28 |
AD | I | -738.28 |
NV | I | -1194.29 |
This results in a gain/loss when there should not be one.
I would like to understand the calculation so that I know whether this is a bug.
