Solve and Journalize.
Cost of store equipment = $625
Salvage value = $75
Useful life = 10 year
Annual depreciation = (Cost price - Salvage value)/Useful life
(675 - 75)/10
= 600/10
$60
Depreciation on equipment from January 1 to April 1 of the current year = 60 x 3/12
= $15
Accumulated depreciation on equipment till the date of sale = 480 + 15
= $495
Book value of equipment = Cost price - accumulated depreciation
= 675 - 495
= $180
Loss on equipment disposed = Book value of equipment
= $180
