Debit Sale of Equipment $14,000

Credit Gain from sale of Equipment $14,000

To record the gain from the sale of equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of nine assembly robots = $594,000

Unit cost of a robot = $66,000 ($594,000/9)

Expected useful life = 10 years

Expected residual value = $54,000

Unit residual value = $6,000 ($54,000/9)

Depreciable amount for each robot = $60,000 ($66,000 - $6,000)

Straight-line annual depreciation expense = $6,000 ($60,000/10)

Sale of one robot for $40,000 cash:

Accumulated depreciation for one robot on December 31, 20x3 = $18,000

Net book value = $48,000 ($66,000 - $18,000)

Cash $40,000 Sale of Equipment $40,000

Accumulated Depreciation $18,000 Sale of Equipment $18,000

Sale of Equipment $66,000 Equipment $66,000

Loss from Sale of Equipment $8,000 Sale of Equipment $8,000

Sale of one robot for $62,000

Accumulated depreciation for one robot on December 31, 20x3 = $18,000

Net book value = $48,000 ($66,000 - $18,000)

Cash $62,000 Sale of Equipment $62,000

Accumulated Depreciation $18,000 Sale of Equipment $18,000

Sale of Equipment $66,000 Equipment $66,000

Sale of Equipment $14,000 Gain from sale of Equipment $14,000
