Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) $41,800.

Explanation:

Solution:

Given that:

The first step taken is to calculate for depreciation on sold equipment:

                                                                       Amount($)

Accumulated depreciation in Year -1  (a) = 540000

Depreciation for the year 2 (b) =  48000

Accumulated depreciation to be in year 2 c=(a+b)=588000

Reported accumulated depreciation in year 2(d)=460000

Thus,

Depreciation on sold Equipment e= (c-d) = 128000

Now,

The second step is to calculate sale proceeds:

Cost (a)= 164000  

Depreciation(b) =128000

The written dawn value c=(a-b) = 36000

Gain on sale of equipment (d)=5800  

The Sale Price (c+d)=41800

Therefore, the sale of the equipment is $41,800
