2. How much property, plant, and equipment was purchased during the year?

Answer 1

Answer to Part a.
Cost of Property, Plant and Equipment sold = $16,000
Accumulated Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment sold = $4,000

Net Value of Property, Plant and Equipment = Cost – Accumulated Depreciation

Net Value of Property, Plant and Equipment sold = $16,000 - $4,000
Net Value of Property, Plant and Equipment sold = $12,000

Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment = Sale Proceeds – Net Value
$1,600 = Sale Proceeds - $12,000
Sale Proceeds = $13,600

Therefore, the Property, Plant and Equipment was sold for $13,600 during the year.

Answer to Part b.
Gross Property, Plant and Equipment, December 31, 2019 = Gross Property, Plant and Equipment, December 31, 2018 + Cost of Equipment purchased – Cost of Equipment sold
$480,000 = $400,000 + Cost of Equipment purchased - $16,000
Cost of Equipment purchased = $96,000

Therefore, the Property, Plant and Equipment was purchased for $96,000 during the year.
