Answer 1

Answer:

Calculation of depreciation expense for 2017:

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Accumulated depreciation 2017 - Accumulated depreciation 2016 + Accumulated depreciation on assets sold

= 117,000 - 86,000 + 12,000 = 43,000

Purchase cost of plot = Land value in 2017 - (Land value in 2016 - Original cost of land sold)= 65,000 - (103,000 - 86,000) = 48,000

Loss on sale of equipment = Original cost - accumulated depreciation -sale value = $40,000 - $12,000 - $21,000 = $7,000

Profit from sale of land = Sale price - Cost price = $95,000 - $86,000 = $9,000
