3.Purchase of building:

Answer 1

Original cost of $340,000

Book value of bulidings = $78,000

Gain on sale = $68,000

1. Cash received from the sale = Sale price = Book value + Gain = $78,000 + $68,000 = $146,000

2. Depreciation Expense during 2017:

When an asset is sold, asset's cost along with asset's accumulated depreciation will be removed from the balance sheet.

Beginning Accumulated Depreciation of buildings for the year 2017	$309,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation of the building sold ($340,000 - $78,000) [Original Cost - Book Value = Accumulated Depreciation]	($262,000)
	$47,000
Ending Accumulated Depreciation of the buildings for the year 2017	$124,000
Difference ---> Depreciation expenses [$124,000 - $47,000]	$77,000

3. Buildings Purchase during 2017

Beginning Original cost of the buildings for the year 2017	$440,000
Less: Original cost of the building sold	($340,000)
