Answer 1

Assuming Raven uses straight-line depreciation, the Company would recognize a $2,000 gain.

What is straight-line depreciation?

The simplest way to determine depreciation over time is through straight-line depreciation. According to this strategy, an asset's value is reduced by the same amount for each year that it is in use.

Depreciation formula:

(Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life.

The given data is -

The cost of asses is given as $64,000.

The salvage value is given as $10,000.

The sole price is $30,000.

Calculation for the depreciation-

Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost - $10,000 Salvage) ÷ (6               Year life)

Depreciation expense per year = $9,000

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = ($9,000 per year) × (4 years)

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = $36,000.

Book value = $64,000 Cost - $36,000 Accumulated depreciation

                    = $28,000

Gain on sale = $30,000 Sales price - $28,000 Book value

                     = $2,000)

Therefore, the gain on the scale is  $2,000.
