this is the only information provided
Solution 1:
Cost of equipment = $26,000
Estimated salvage value = $1,000
Depreciable cost = Cost - Salvage value = $26,000 - $1,000 = $25,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual depreciation = $25,000 / 5 = $5,000
Depreciation to be recorded for 2016 = $5,000*9/12 = $3,750
Solution 2:
Depreciation to be recorded for 2017 = $5,000
Solution 3:
Accumulated depreciation at 31.12.2017 = $3,750 + $5,000 = $8,750
Solution 4:
Book value at 31.12.2017 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $26,000 - $8,750 = $17,250
Solution 5:
If sold on 01.01.2018 for $17,000 cash, amount of gain or (loss) = Sale value - Book value = $17,000 - $17,250 = ($250)
