(l)         On December 31, 2019, the truck was sold for $14,000 cash. Assuming that the double-declining method is used for truck depreciation, prepare the journal entry for the truck sale.

Answer 1

USING STRAIGHT LINE METHOD OF DEPRECIATION

Formula: depreciation per annum = (cost - salvage value)/useful life

= (20000 - 5000)/5

= $3000

(a) depreciation for Dec 31, 2018 = nine month's depreciation expenses

= (3000x9)/12

= $2250

(b) depreciation for Dec 31, 2019 = 3000

(c) accumulated depreciation on Dec 31, 2018 = $2250

(d) accumulated depreciation on Dec 31, 2018 = $2250 + $3000 = $5250

(e) book value of asset on Dec 31, 2019 = cost - accumulated depreciation

= $20000 - $5250 = $14750
