Solution:

On January 1,20X6

Company sold a piece of equipment for 1,800

Cost of equipment      3,900

Accumulated depreciation on equipment   2,400

Value of equipment on date of sale

= Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation

= 3,900-2,400

= 1500

Profit on sale of equipment

= Sale price of equipment- Value of equipment on date of sale

= 1,800- 1500

= 300

As the equipment has been sold on January 1, 2016, ideally no depreciation should be charged on equipment afterwards.

Case 1: When the company has not yet closed the 20X7 books.

Wrong transaction recorded in books in 20X6

Cash from sale of equipment that is 1800 included as other revenue in 20X6.

Journal Entry passed would be:

-Cash Account         Debit                         1800

             Revenue Account                            Credit            1800

-Revenue Account   Debit                          1800

              Profit / Loss Account                      Credit              1800

Depreciation recorded= 3900 x 10% = 390

Journal Entry passed would be:

Depreciation Account            390

                Accumulated Depreciation Account                390

Wrong transaction recorded in books in 20X7

Depreciation recorded= 3900 x 10% = 390

Journal Entry passed would be:

Depreciation Account            390

                Accumulated Depreciation Account                390
