Workings

Equipment cost = $548,400

Proceed from sale = $763,800

Gain/loss on sale of equipment = Equipment cost - Proceed from sale of equipment

= $548,400 - $763,000

= $214,600 Gain

This equipment has remaining useful life of 3 years

Depreciation on cost = $548,400 ÷ 3 years

=$182,800

Depreciation on sale amount = $763,800 ÷ 3 years

= $254,600

Excess depreciation = Difference of cost and sale of depreciation

= $182,800 - $254,600

= $71,800 Excess depreciation
