Answer 1

Answer:

The cost balance on 31 December 2018 is $518,000 while that of accumulated depreciation is $126,400

Explanation:

The balance of fixed assets is computed as

Opening balance - accumulated depreciation - depreciation + Addition - Disposal

Hence given that on December 31, 2017, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000, Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600 the balance then

= $470,000 + $100,000 - $52,000

= $518,000

The accumulated depreciation

= $94,000 + $40,000 - $7,600

= $126,400
