This transaction will affect the balancesheet in the below mentioned ways -
A company sold it's old equipment recorded as book value of $ 100000
And, the company recieived cash of $ 250000
Balance sheet has two sides one is Assets side and second is Liability side.
This transaction does not affect the liability side because there is no such obligation to pay for the amount in the question mentioned above.
This transaction will affect two major subheads of the Assets side.
One is Current Assets and second is Fixed assets
Current assets increased by $ 250000
Fixed assets decreased by $ 100000
It is easy to calculate profit but the profit of $ 150000 cannot be shown in the balancesheet because it's a part of income statement and already adjusted in the net income which is further shown in the balancesheet as net income on the liability side of the balancesheet and hence the balancesheet will be equal.
