Entries for Sale of Fixed Asset
Equipment acquired on January 8 at a cost of $136,830, has an estimated useful life of 16 years, has an estimated residual value of $8,350, and is depreciated by the straight-line method.
a. What was the book value of the equipment at
December 31 the end of the fourth year?
$
b. Assuming that the equipment was sold on April 1 of the fifth year for 97,682.
1. Journalize the entry to record depreciation for the three months until the sale date. Round your answers to the nerest whole dollar if required.
2. Journalize the entry to record the sale of the equipment. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. Do not round intermediate calculations.
a)
Cost of equipment = $136,830
Residual value = $8,350
Useful life = 16 Year
Annual depreciation = ( Cost price - Residual value)/Useful life
(136,830 - 8,350)/16
= $8,030
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years = 8,030 x 4
= $32,120
b)
1
Depreciation for 3 months = 8,030 x 3/12
= $2,008

Book value of Equipment on April 1, Fifth year = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation
= 136,830 - (32,120 + 2,008)
= 136,830 - 34,128
