Credit Accumulated depreciation for $4,920.
b. The entries are:
Debit Cash for $23,730
Debit Accumulated depreciation for $41,100
Debit Loss on disposal of equipment for $14,870
Credit Equipment for $79,700
Explanation:
(a) Prepare the journal entries to update depreciation to July 31, 2022.
Note: the correct date to update to is July 31, 2022 not the wrongly stated July 31, 2014 in the question.
The journal entries will look as as follows:
Date Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
July 31 Depreciation expenses 4,920
Accumulated depreciation 4,920
To record the updating of depreciation to July 31, 2022.
(a) Prepare the journal entries to record the sale of the equipment.
To prepare this, we need to first calculate the gain or loss on disposal as follows:
Accumulated depreciation till date = $36,130 + $4,970 = $41,100
Net book value = Equipment cost - Accumulated depreciation till date = $79,700 - $41,100 = $38,600
Gain or loss on disposal = Sales proceed - Net book value = $23,730 - $38,600 = $14,870 loss
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
July 31 Cash 23,730
Accumulated depreciation 41,100
Loss on disposal of equipment 14,870
Equipment 79,700
(To record disposal of equipment.)
