Question

The property, plant, and equipment section of the Jasper Company’s December 31, 2017, balance sheet contained the following:

Property, plant, and equipment:
Land				$	120,000
Building	$	840,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation		(200,000	)		640,000
Equipment		180,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation		?			?
Total property, plant, and equipment					?

The land and building were purchased at the beginning of 2013. Straight-line depreciation is used and a residual value of $40,000 for the building is anticipated.

The equipment is comprised of the following three machines:

Machine	Cost			Date Acquired		Residual Value				Life in Years
101	$	70,000		1/1/15		$	7,000			10
102		80,000		6/30/16			8,000			8
103		30,000		9/1/17			3,000			9

The straight-line method is used to determine depreciation on the equipment. On March 31, 2018, Machine 102 was sold for $52,500. Early in 2018, the useful life of machine 101 was revised to seven years in total, and the residual value was revised to zero.

Required:

1. Calculate the accumulated depreciation on the equipment at December 31, 2017.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record 2018 depreciation on machine 102 up to the date of sale.
3. Prepare a schedule to calculate the gain or loss on the sale of machine 102.
4. Prepare the journal entry for the sale of machine 102.
5. Prepare the 2018 year-end journal entries to record depreciation on the building and equipment.
