Answer 1

Answer to Question 1:

Purchase of Land = $47,120

Land, Dec. 31, 2017 = Land, Dec. 31, 2016 + Land purchased - Land Sold
$170,810 = $153,140 + $47,120 - Land Sold
Land Sold = $29,450

Loss on Sale of Equipment = Book Value - Proceed from Sale
Loss on Sale of Equipment = $11,780 - $9,424
Loss on Sale of Equipment = $2,356
