On July 1, 2016, Farm Fresh Industries purchased a specialized
delivery truck for $158,800. At the time, Farm Fresh estimated the
truck to have a useful life of eight years and a residual value of
$34,000. On March 1, 2021, the truck was sold for $75,000. Farm
Fresh uses the straight-line depreciation method for all of its
plant and equipment. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based
on the number of months the asset is in service.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to update
depreciation in 2021.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of
the truck.
3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for
$97,000, prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
Annual depreciation = (158800-34000)/8 = 15600
