Sarasota Company purchased machinery for $865000 on January 1,
2017. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a
$54500 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was
sold on May 1, 2021 at a gain of $18500. How much cash did Sarasota
receive from the sale of the machinery?
Straight line depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Years
= ($865000 - $54500) / 5
= $810500 / 5
= $162100
2017 depreciation expense = $162100
2018 depreciation expense = $162100
2019 depreciation expense = $162100
2020 depreciation expense = $162100
2021 depreciation expense = $162100 * (4/12)
= $54033
Book Value on May 1 2021 = $865000 - ($162100 *4) - $54033
= $162567
Cash received from the sale of machinery = Book Value + Gain on sale
= $162567 + $18500
= $181067
