Question

Peterson Company purchased machinery for $960,000 on January 1, 2014. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a $60,000 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was sold on May 1, 2018 at a gain of $18,000. How much cash did Peterson receive from the sale of the machinery

Answer 1

Answer:

198,000

Explanation:

(960000 - 60,000) / 5 = 180k

Deprecation expense = 180,000 x 5 = 720,000

Deprecation expense from January to April = 4/12 x 180000

720 + 75h
