Dr. Equipment _________ $22,000

Cr.Reserve Account _____$19,800

Cr. Depreciation expenses $2,200

Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000

Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000

2023

Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000

Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000

Step-by-step explanation:

2022

Calculate the net book value

Net book value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciatin = $140,000 - $58,000 = $82,000

Unrealised profit on the sale of the asset = Cash receipt - Nreet book value = $104,000 - $82,000 = $22,000

Annual Depricaiton = Historical cost / remaining life = $140,000 / 10 = $14,000

Excess depreciation charged = Unrealised profit / Remaining life = $22,000 / 10 = $2,200
