Ford Company reports depreciation expense of $40,000 for Year 2.
Also, equipment costing $150,000 was sold for its book value in
Year 2. There were no other equipment purchases or sales during the
year. The following selected information is available for Ford
Company from its comparative balance sheet. Compute the cash
received from the sale of the equipment.
At December 31 | Year 2 | Year 1 | ||||
Equipment | $ | 600,000 | $ | 750,000 | ||
Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment | 428,000 | 500,000 | ||||
Accumulated depreciation beginning = $500,000
Accumulated depreciation ending = $428,000
Depreciation expense = $40,000
Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold = Accumulated depreciation beginning + Depreciation expense - Accumulated depreciation ending
= 500,000+40000-428,000
= $112,000
Cost of equipment sold = $150,000
Book value of equipment = Cost of equipment sold - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold
= 150,000-112,000
= $38,000
Since the equipment was sold at its book value, hence cash received from sale of equipment is $38,000
