If it's a fixed asset, it's treated as a gain. The amount of gain is booked in the "Gain on Sale of Assets" revenue account (or something similar). The typical entry would be: Debit Cash (or Accounts Receivable) Credit Fixed Assets (or whatever account held the asset you're selling) Debit Accumulated Depreciation (if your asset had any A/D) Credit Gain on Sale If you're talking about selling inventory, that's a different matter.

Is it realized or unrealized gain or loss while revaluation on cash balance in foreign currency according exchange rate?

It is an unrealized gain / loss. It is a restatement of the value of a balance in a certain currency, in relation to the base currency of the balance. Realized gains / losses are for 'finalized' transactions, such as outstanding vendor amounts paid or customer amounts received and there is a loss or gain realized at that point. (this happens when there is a big fluctuation between the date the transaction is executed and the date the money changes hands)
