Answer:

Depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 is $6,640 for each year

The amount of gain or loss that would be recognized on the asset disposal is -$2,920 (a loss)

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic recognition of the cost of an asset in the p/l overtime as a result of use. When accumulated, it is known as accumulated depreciation which is deducted from the cost of the asset to get the net book value or carrying amount of the asset. The cost of the asset includes all necessary cost incurred to make the asset available for use.

The cost less the salvage value divided by the estimated useful life gives the annual depreciation.

Total cost = $36,000 + $1,200

= $37,200

Annual depreciation

= ($37,200 - $4,000)/5

=$6,640

Net book value on 1 January 2020

= $37,200 - 2($6,640)

= $23,920

Gain/(loss) on disposal

=$21,000 - $23,920

= -$2,920
