The "retirement" or "disposal" (as it's usually listed as) is recorded in a couple of different ways depending on how the asset is disposed of. One entry that will not change regardless of how the company disposes of the asset is the account related to said asset. For example, if the company is disposing of a truck, the one account entry that will not change will be Equipment-truck, this account will be credited for the balance. The fact that the fixed asset account has a debit balance, we now credit the account to bring it to a zero balance and remove the truck from our records. Company's may choose to dispose of, sale, or trade the fixed asset. Disposing of the fixed asset does not involve the exchange of money or another asset. Selling of the asset involves receiving cash for the asset. Trading involves receiving another asset in exchange for the asset the company is disposing of. This transaction will affect the balance sheet as it affects the assets of a company.
closing entry of an asset means the adjustment entry we do on the last day of accounting year.
