Boook value at Sept- 30-2019 = Purchase price - Accimulated depreciation
Depreciation for each year
2014 =[3408 12] 6*= 1704 *Asset is used only for 6 months [July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec]
2015 = 3408
2016 = 3408
2017 = 3408
2018 = 3408
2019 =[3408 12] 9* = 2556 *Asset is used only for 9 months [Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug, Sept]
Total 17892
Accumulated depreciation = 17892
Book value = 28400 - 17892 = 10508
Loss on sale of machinery = Book value - Sales proceeds- = 10508 - 7384 = 3124
At the date of sale machinery account is credited for 10508 because the remaining book value of the machinery is 10508.
