If a plant asset has a salvage value of zero & its total accumulated depreciation is equal to the original cost value, the plant asset has no book value Some assets are assumed to have no salvage value
When a plant asset with no book value is discarded, a journal entry is recorded that removes the original cost of the plant asset & its related accumulated depreciation If the cost and accumulated depreciation are not removed from the
general ledger then the complany is overstating its aassets and the related depreciation.
