on December 1, Dale decided to sell his old skate-sharpening machine for $8,000 cash. The store purchased this skate sharpening equipment on January 1, 2018, and paid $14,000. The equipment was deemed to have a 4-year useful life and a $2,000 salvage value. Dale chose to depreciate the equipment straight line over 4 years. The depreciation for the 2019 fiscal year has not yet been recorded
Purchase price of machine = $14000
Useful life = 4 years
Salvage value = $2000
Depreciation per year = ($14000 - $2000)/4
= $12000/4 = $3000
Depreciation for 11 months for 2019 = $3000/12 *11 = $2750
Total Depreciation charged on machine =
Depreciation for 2018 + Depreciation for 2019
$3000 + $2750 = $5750
Book value of machine as on December 1, 2019 =
Purchase price - Total Depreciation
= $14000 - $5750 = $8250
Sale value of machine = $8000
Loss on sale of machine = Book value - Sale value
= $8250 - $8000 = $250
