Best Answer

When an asset is damaged beyond repair and you scrap it, you write it off. It may or may not be fully depreciated at that time. If it's not fully depreciated yet, your amt for Fixed assets written off would equal to the net book value. When you write off an asset, you don't get any proceeds for it.

When you dispose of an asset by selling it, you'd get some proceeds from the sale and you use this amt to calculate your gain or loss on sale of fixed asset.
