(10 points)

(a)	Record the depreciation for the one-half year prior to the sale, using the straight-line method.
(b)	Record the sale of the equipment.

Expert Solution

Answer to Part a:

Straight Line Depreciation per year = (Cost – Residual value) / Useful Life
Straight Line Depreciation per year = ($250,000 - $10,000) / 8
Straight Line Depreciation per year = $30,000

Depreciation Expense for one-half year = $30,000 * 1 / 2
Depreciation Expense for one-half year = $15,000
