To account for the disposal of property, plant, and equipment, the company first records the depreciation up to the date of the disposal. It then removes the cost of the asset and the related amount of accumulated depreciation from the respective accounts. A company recognizes a gain or a loss on the disposal for the difference between the book value of the asset (cost minus accumulated depreciation) and the consideration received.

1b. Prepare the necessary journal entries on April 1, 2019 to record:

1.	Depreciation expense of the delivery truck for 2019
2.	The sale of the truck, assuming it sold for $7,525

While both IFRS and U.S. GAAP generally measure the gain or loss on disposal as the difference between the assets book value and the amount received from its sale, this calculation may be slightly different if a company chooses to use the revaluation method and the asset has been written up to fair value, which is only possible under IFRS. Specifically, the revaluation surplus should be transferred out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and to Retained Earnings. Under no circumstances can this revaluation surplus be transferred to income.
