Prepare journal entries to (a) update depreciation for 2018 and (b) record the sale. (

Answer:

a. Annual depreciation expense = $9,600. Depreciation expense for the year 2018 (6 months) = $9,600*6/12  = $4,800

          Depreciation expense                       $4,800

                  Accumulated depreciation- Equipment   $4,800

          (To record depreciation expense)

b. Accumulated depreciation till December 31, 2017 = $45,600

Accumulated depreciation at July 1, 2018 = Accumulated depreciation till December 31, 2017 + Depreciation expense for the year 2018 = $45,600 + $4,800 = $50,400

Cost of equipment = $57,600

Book value of equipment = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation at July 1, 2018 = $57,600 - $50,400 = $7,200

Sale price of equipment = $11,520

Gain on sale of equipment = Sale price of equipment- Book value of equipment = $11,520 - $7,200 = $4,320
