Book value is the carrying cost of an asset i.e., as at a particular date, it is the value at which the is carried in Balance Sheet.

Book value is written down value i.e. value after Depreciation
therefore its original cost=50000+5000=55000

Dear Vibhor....if u r taking gross values in Fixed Asset Account thn dont dispose off the machinery in the same account.....make a FIXED ASSET DISPOSAL A/C....AND transfer all related entries to that single account and make it correct....coz u have posted single entry to ledger......scanner is correct but the right way is by Machinery disposal account....
