Answer #1

Cost of Equipment Sold = Equipment, 2017 + Equipment purchased - Equipment, 2018
Cost of Equipment Sold = $813,000 + $150,000 - $733,000
Cost of Equipment Sold = $230,000

Book Value of Equipment sold = Proceed from Sale - Gain on sale
Book Value of Equipment sold = $52,000 - $7,000
Book Value of Equipment sold = $45,000

Depreciation on Equipment Sold = Cost of Equipment Sold - Book Value of Equipment sold
Depreciation on Equipment Sold = $230,000 - $45,000
Depreciation on Equipment Sold = $185,000

Depreciation Expense = Accumulated Depreciation, 2018 + Depreciation on Equipment Sold - Accumulated Depreciation, 2017
Depreciation Expense = $476,000 + $185,000 - $491,000
Depreciation Expense = $170,000
