MoveIt Corporation is the world’s leading express-distribution company. In addition to its 643 aircraft, the company has more than 57,000 ground vehicles that pick up and deliver packages. Assume that MoveIt sold a delivery truck for $8,000. MoveIt had originally purchased the truck for $14,000 and had recorded depreciation for three years.
1. Calculate the amount of gain or loss on disposal, assuming that Accumulated Depreciation was (a) $6,000, (b) $4,000, and (c)$9,000. (Select "None" if there is no Gain or Loss.)

a.
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $14,000 - $6,000
= $8,000
Gain = Sale price - Carrying value
= $8,000 - $8,000
= $0
b.
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $14,000 - $4,000
= $10,000
Gain = Sale price - Carrying value
= $8,000 - $10,000
= ($2,000)
c.
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $14,000 - $9,000
= $5,000
Gain = Sale price - Carrying value
= $8,000 - $5,000
= $3,000
Gain / Loss | Amount | |
a. | No gain / loss | $0 |
b. | Loss | $2,000 |
c. | Gain | $3,000 |
