1a) Journal Entry
General Journal | Debit | Credit |
Cash | $22000 | |
Accumulated Depreciation | $16000 | |
Loss on Sale of Equipment | $12000 | |
Equipment | $50,000 |
Given that the Balance of Equipment on 12/31/2018 is $50,000 Accumulated Depreciation = $16000
Book Value of Asset = $50,000 - $16,000
Book Value of Equipment = $34,000
Equipment is Sold for $22,000
Loss on Sale of equipment = $34,000 - $22,000 = $12,000
1b) Journal Entry
General Journal | Debit | Credit |
Note Receivable | $48,000 | |
Accumulated Depreciation | $16000 | |
Gain on Sale of Equipment | $14000 | |
Equipment | $50,000 |
Given that the Balance of Equipment on 12/31/2018 is $50,000 Accumulated Depreciation = $16000
Book Value of Asset = $50,000 - $16,000
Book Value of Equipment = $34,000
Equipment is Sold for $48,000
Gain on Sale of Equipment = $48,000 - $34,000 = $14,000
1c) Journal Entry
General Journal | Debit | Credit |
Accumulated Depreciation | $16000 | |
Loss on disposal of Equipment | $34000 | |
