27 March 2010 For the purpose of recording it in the books, the Profit /loss on the sale of the assets is to credited or debited to the books. Depreciation to be provided for the truck sold for the period of using it in business.

Profit/ loss = sale value -( Cost of asset - depreciation charged in the p/l)
