How do you record sold of an old typewriter at book value 1250?

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.
