    Disposal of non current assets refers to the process of removing or selling assets that are no longer needed or useful to a business. This can include such as equipment, vehicles, buildings and etc. When a non-current asset is disposed of, depreciation will be calculated up to this date based on useful life and the depreciation method chosen (straight line, reducing balance, etc.).

    Essentially, the accounting for the disposal of a non-current asset consists of the following steps:

    i. Update accumulated depreciation on the assets
    ii. Calculate gain or loss on the disposal
    iii. Record the disposal
    iv. Presentation on Financial Statement
