Equipment Company started business on 1st January 2004. The company immediately acquired production equipment for $9,000,000. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 15 years and a salvage value of $0. On 1st January 2008 Equipment Company decided to re-value this equipment to fair value $8,000,000. On 1st January 2011 20% of the equipment was sold for $1,400,000. On 1 st January 2013 the remaining equipment was re-valued at $5,000,000. Equipment’s year end is 31st December. The estimated total useful life and salvage value made earlier (15 year total useful life and $0 salvage value) remained constant.

“Depreciation on 1 Jan 2011= 8,000,000 / 11 years= annual 727,273
1 Jan 2011
Dr. Accumulated Dep. 1,745,454”Why have you multiplied annual depreciation of $727,274 by 2.4 years?
It should be three years from 1 January 2008 to 31 December, 2010
“Dr.Bank 1,400,000
Cr. Gain on Disposal 1,981,818”When you sell something for $1,400,000, how is it possible to record a gain on disposal of $1,981,818
Otherwise, most of your figures appear to coincide with mine.
However, this is a most unlikely situation … a text bbok that gives you difficult questions and then fails to give you answers
In addition, this example is remarkably similar to one that I have seen before – one set by a lecturer as homework
I do sincerely hope that you’re not asking me to check your homework before you hand it in for assessment!
