Answer 1

Dr cash $26,000

Dr accumulated depreciation $28,000

Cr equipment $52,000

Cr gain on disposal($26,000+$28,000-$52,000) $2,000

b.

Dr cash $15,000

Dr accumulated depreciation $28,000

Dr loss on disposal($15,000+$28,000-$52,000)$9000

Cr equipment $52,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale of the equipment for $26,000 means that cash would be debited with $26,000 with accumulated depreciation being written off by debiting accumulated depreciation with $28,000 while the asset account is credited with $52,000 with a difference of $2000 gain credited to gain on disposal of equipment.

The sale of the equipment for $15,000 means that cash would be debited with $26,000 with accumulated depreciation being written off by debiting accumulated depreciation with $28,000 while the asset account is credited with $52,000 with a difference of $9000 loss debited to loss on disposal of equipment
