Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of equipment = $169,000
Expected production units = 300,000
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Estimated residual value = $49,000
Proceeds from the sale of equipment = $103,000
Depreciable amount = $120,000 ($169,000 - $49,000)
Depreciation expense per unit = $0.40 ($120,000/300,000)
Actual production: Depreciation Expense for the year
2019 = 42,000 units * $0.40 = $16,800
2020 = 67,000 units * $0.40 = $26,800
2021 = 34,000 units * $0.40 = $13,600
Accumulated depreciation = $57,200
Net book value = $111,800 ($169,000 - $57,200)
Loss on sale of equipment = $8,800 ($111,800 - $103,000)
Sale of equipment for $114,800
Gain on sale of equipment = $3,000 ($111,800 - $114,800)
