Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Depreciation in 2017:
[tex]=\frac{Original\ cost-Salvage\ value}{Useful\ life}\times time\ period[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{50,000-8,000}{6}\times\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
= $1,750
Accumulated Depreciation = $29,400 + Depreciation in 2017
= $29,400 + $1,750
= $31,150
Book value on date of sale = Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= 50,000 - 31,150
= 18,850
Loss on sale = Book value on date of sale - Sales price
= 18,850 - 18,000
= $850 (Loss)
Answer:The answer is $2,600 loss
Explanation:
Cost - Salvage value /useful life
Cost = $50,000
Salvage value =$8,000
Useful life = 6years
50,000- 8,000/6
=42,000/6
= 7,000
Yearly depreciation will be $7,000
Since the accumulated depreciation had a balance of $29,400 on December 31,2016
Net Book value = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation
= 50,000 - 29,400
= 20,600
The disposal of equipment Account will be in T account as follows
Disposal of Equipment Account
Dr: Equipment cost $50,000
Cr: Provision for depreciation $29,400
Cr: Sale Proceed $18,000
Cr: profit & loss $2,600
Balance Dr: $50,000 Balance Cr: $50,000
Since the debit side of the equipment account is greater than credit side of the equipment account The company made a loss on the sale of the equipment of $2,600
