Original cost of the machine on January 1, 2008 = $750,000
Depreciable Life of the furniture = 10 years
Salvage value = $75,000
Now,
Annual depreciation =
or
Annual depreciation =
or
Annual depreciation = $67,500 per year
The total duration from the date of purchase to date of selling
= 7 years 4 months
or

= 88 months
= years
therefore,
The total accumulated depreciation till the date of sale
= Annual depreciation × Duration
= $67,500 ×
= $495,000
Thus,
The book value on May 1, 2015
= Purchasing cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $750,000 - $495,000
= $255,000
Hence,
The gain recognized = Selling cost - Book value
