To record the sale of a subsidiary, you would typically make the following journal entries:

  1. Debit Cash (or Accounts Receivable) for the amount received from the sale.
  2. Debit Accumulated Loss on Sale of Subsidiary (if applicable) to reflect any loss incurred.
  3. Credit Investment in Subsidiary for the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets.
  4. Credit Gain on Sale of Subsidiary (if applicable) for any gain realized from the sale.

These entries ensure that the financial statements accurately reflect the transaction's impact on the company’s financial position.

To record the sale of an old typewriter at its book value of $1,250, you would make a journal entry that debits cash or accounts receivable for $1,250 and credits the typewriter asset account for $1,250. This reflects the removal of the asset from the books at its recorded value. If there were any accumulated depreciation, that would also need to be considered in the journal entries.

Journal entry to record sale of inventory?

Many variables are involved when determining the proper journal entries to record a sale. For example, consignment sales are recorded uniquely based on the terms of the consignment agreement between parties. Whether or not the sale is for a service or a good also presents differences in the way journal entries are recorded for a sale. If the sale is for a good, whether the company uses a perpetual or periodic system to account for inventory must also be taken into consideration when recording journal entries for a sale. Another variable that must be taken into consideration when recording a sale is whether or not the sale is on credit with terms that allow the purchaser the opportunity to purchase the good or service at discount if paid in timely fashion (trade receivable), and in addition, whether the company uses the net method or gross method when recording journal entries. Assuming the sales transaction is not made on consignment, is not a trade receivable, and no inventory is involved, the following are the journal entries to record the sale. If the sale was a cash transaction: DR cash CR a revenue account If the sale was a credit transaction: DR an accounts receivable CR a revenue account
