During the year, plant assets were acquired for $155,000 with cash. There is a Gain on sale of plant asset of $10,000. What are the cash proceeds from the sale of the plant asset

Answer 1

$45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation below,

Total beginning net book value of plant assets + Total plant assets purchased during that period - Total depreciation recorded of plant assets during that period - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = Net closing book value of plant assets

Hence, we have

$190,000 - $20,000 + $155,000 - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = $290,000

Net boom value of plant sold during the period = $35,000

We also have the equation below;

Sales proceed - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = Gain(loss) on disposal of assets

Sales proceed - $35,000 = $10,000

Sales proceed = $10,000 + $35,000

Sales proceed = $45,000
