Answer 1

• Working

A	Cost	$          394,500.00
B	Residual Value	$            24,500.00
C=A - B	Depreciable base	$          370,000.00
D	Life [in years]	10
E=C/D	Annual SLM depreciation	$            37,000.00

• Requirement 1
  Accumulated Depreciation = 37000 x 3 years = $ 111,000
• Requirement 2

Book Value = $ 394500 – 111000
= $ 283,500

• Requirement 3

>Sold for $ 295900
>Book Value = $ 283500
>Sale price is MORE than Book Value = GAIN
>Gain on sale = 295900 – 283500
= $ 12,400

• Requirement 4
