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 of machinery is WDV in this case.

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....
