Explanation / Answer

1-1a.

Book value of Asset X = Sale price of assets - gain on sale = 20000 - 10000 = 10000

Accumulated depreciation on Assets X = Cost price - Book Value = 80000 - 10000 = 70000

Book value of Asset Y = Sale price of assets + Loss on sale = 25000 + 18000 = 43000

Accumulated depreciation on Assets Y = Cost price - Book Value = 150000 - 43000 = 107000

Total accumulated depreciation on assets which were sold during the year = 70000 + 107000 = 177000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = 177000 + 40000 = 217000

1-1b.

Cash flow from operating activities:

Depreciation expense = 217000

Cash flow from investing activities:

Sale of Asset X = 20000

Sale of Asset Y = 25000

Purchase of Fixed assets = (340000)
