Working Notes -
Equipment Cost - $600,000
Proceed from sale - $780,000
(Gain) /Loss on sale of equipment = Equipment cost - Proceed from sale =$600,000 - $780,000
Gain on sale of Equipment = 180,000
This equipment has a remaining useful life of three years
Depreciation on Cost =$600,000/3 Years = $200,000
Depreciation on sale amount = $780,000/ 3 = $260,000
Excess Depreciation =Difference of cost and sale amount of Depreciation
Excess Depreciation =$ 200,000 - $260,000
Excess Depreciation = $60,000
