ans)
A) The book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year:
Depreciation = 165730 - 8650 / 17 = 9240
Depreciation for 4 years = 9240 X 4 = 36960
Book value of equipment at the end of fourth year = 165730 - 36960 = 128770
B) Depreciation for 3 months untill the sale date:
Apr 1 Depreciation - Equipment 2310
Accumulated depreciation - equipment 2310
(9240 X 3/12 = 2310)
Sale of equipment:
Cash 120655
Accumulated depreciation - equipment 39270
( 36960 + 2310)
Loss on sale of equipment 5805
Equipment 165730
