Expert Solution

Annual depreciation under striaght-line method = (Cost of machine - Salvage value)/Useful life

Here,

Cost of machine = $108,500

Salvage value = 0

Useful life = 7 years

Therefore,

Annual depreciation = ($108,500 - 0)/7 = $15,500

The machine was disposed of on April 1, 2016. This means the machine was used for only three months in 2016 that is January through March.

Thus, depreciation to be recorded on April 1, 2016 = $15,500 x 3/12 = 3,875

a. Prepare the general journal entry to update depreciation to April 1, 2016.

Date Account Titles Debit Credit
Apr. 1, 2016 Depreciation Expense - Machine 3875
      Accumulated Depreciation - Machine 3875

b.

1.

Accumulated depreciation on April 1, 2016 = ($15,500 x 4) + $3,875 = $65,875

Book value of the machine on April 1, 2016 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $108,500 - $65,875 = $42,625

The machine was sold for $45,000

Therefore,

Gain on sale of machine = $45,000 - $42,625 = $2,375

Prepare the required journal entry as follows:

Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Cash 45000
Accumulated Depreciation - Machine 65875
      Equipment 108500
      Gain on Sale of Machine 2375

2.

Book value of the machine on April 1, 2016 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $108,500 - $65,875 = $42,625

The machine was sold for $36,000

Therefore,

Loss on sale of machine = $42,625 - $36,000 = $6,625

Prepare the required journal entry as follows:

Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Cash 36000
Accumulated Depreciation - Machine 65875
Loss on sale of machine 6625
      Equipment 108500

3.

Book value of the machine on April 1, 2016 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $108,500 - $65,875 = $42,625

Cash received from insurance company = $41,000

Therefore,

Loss from fire = $42,625 - $41,000 = $1,625

Prepare the required journal entry as follows:

Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Cash 41000
Accumulated Depreciation - Machine 65875
Loss from fire 1625
      Equipment 108500
