Answer:

useful life= 12 years

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $140,000

Salvage value= $20,000

Annual depreciation= $10,000

<u>To calculate the useful life, we need to use the straight-line method formula:</u>

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

10,000= (140,00 - 20,000) / useful life

10,000useful life = 120,000

useful life= 120,000 / 10,000

useful life= 12 years

A. debit Cash for $10, 000, credit Equipment for $6000 and credit Gain on Sale of Equipment for $4000

B. debit Cash for $10, 000, debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000, credit Equipment for $72000 and credit Gain on Sale of Equipment for $4000

C. debit Cash for $10, 000 and credit Gain on Sale of Equipment for $10, 000

D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.

Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Net Book value = 72000 - 66000   = $6000

The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value

The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain

The entry to record this transaction will be,

Cash                                                              $10000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation - Equipment     $66000 Dr

          Equipment                                                   $72000 Cr

          Gain on sale-Equipment                             $4000 Cr
