Answer 1

Answer: $28,300

Explanation:

The gain that Bramble will recognize will goes thus:

First and foremost, we have to calculate the accumulated depreciation on the equipment and this will be:

= (768,000 - 36,000)/10 x 9

= 658,800

After that, we would find the value of the net Bmbook value on Dec 31, 2020 and this will be:

= 768,000 - 658,800

= Sales value - Net book value

= 137,500 - 109,200

= 28,300
