All working forms part of the answer
The question says that the equipment has been sold at its ‘book value’. Book Value of equipment = Cost – Accumulated Depreciation till the time of sale.

Cost of the equipment is given as $ 159,000. We need to calculate the Accumulated Depreciation on the equipment sold.

Calculation of Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment Sold:

Working	Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment
A	Beginning Balance [Year 1 Balance]	$ 530,000.00
B	Depreciation expense for Year 2	$ 46,000.00
C	Ending Balance [Year 2 balance]	$ 452,000.00
D = A + B - C	Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment Sold	$ 124,000.00

Hence, the accumulated depreciation on the equipment sold = $ 124,000, while it costs was $ 159,000
Calculation of Cash received from the sale of equipment:

---Cash received = Book Value of equipment = Cost – Accumulated Depreciation.

A	Cost of Equipment sold	$ 159,000.00
B	Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment Sold	$ 124,000.00
C = A - B	Book Value	$ 35,000.00

Since the equipment has been sold at ‘book value’, the cash received from sale = $ 35,000.
Correct answer = Option ‘a’ $ 35,000
