Answer:

GDP is likely to remain same as a result of this conversion.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services, produced by an economy, during a given year.

It can be calculated by 2 methods

By Expenditure method : GDP = Private Final Capital Expenditure + Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Domestic Capital Formation + Net Exports
By Income method : NDP = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus (Rent + Profit + Income) + Mixed Income

Given case - Converting a rented apartment into a resident owned condominium , with value of housing services = rent formerly paid :

This brings no change in the GDP, as : The apartment 'rent' previously paid was included in 'operating surplus' of national income, by Income method. And, the equal condominium value is now included in investment addition i.e 'Gross domestic capital formation' , by Income method.

Rayya Co. purchases a machine for $105,000 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is taken each year for four years assu

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000

Explanation:

Rayya Co. uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life = ($105,000 - $0)/7 = $15,000

In 2023, the machine is used for 6 months (half year)

Depreciation Expense = $15,000/2 = $7,500

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

On July 1, 2023, Accumulated depreciation = $15,000 x 4 + $7,500 = $67,500

Carrying amount of the machine = $105,000 - $67,500 = $37,500

(1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $45,500 - $37,500 = $8,000>0

=> The company recognizes gain on the sales $8,000

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $25,000 - $37,500 = -$12,500<0

=> The company recognizes loss on the sales $12,500

The entry should be made:

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000
