Explanation:
Computation for Depreciation expense for the year
Equipment Jan 01 2020 $ 48,670,000 for 4 months @ 10 %
Sales - May 01 2020 <u>$( 840,000)</u>
Adjusted balance May 01 2020 $ 47,830,000 for 2 months @ 10 %
Purchases July 01 2020 <u>$ 2,480,000</u>
Adjusted balance July 01 2020 $ 50,310,000 for 6 months @ 10 %
Depreciation expense for 4 months = $ 48,670,000*10 % *4/12 = $1,622,333
Depreciation expense for 2 months = $ 47,830,000*10 % *2/12 = $ 797,167
Depreciation expense for 6 months = $ 51,310,000*10 % *6/12 =<u>$ 2,565,500</u>
Total depreciation equipment $ 4,985,000
Depreciation on buildings $ 28,910,000 * 2 % $ 578,200
Depreciation has to be recorded for full year on assets retired on December 31 2020
Computation of gain and loss on sale of equipment
Cost of equipment purchased on January 1 2016 $ 840,000
Depreciation rate 10 %
Equipment sold on May 01 2020
Depreciation charged for 4 years and 3 months @ 10 %
$ 840,000 * 4.33 *10 % <u>$ 363,720</u>
Net book value of equipment disposed on May 01 2020 $ 476,280
Sale value of equipment <u>$ 504,000</u>
Gain on sale of equipment $ (27,720 )
The gain on sale of land is the difference between the cost and sales proceeds since land is not depreciated
Sale proceeds - Cost = $ 1,450,000 - $ 399,000 = $ 1,051,000
