I ONLY NEED PART A AND B PLEASE. :)

Answer 1

a) Accumulated Depreciation-Machinery = (50,600 - 3,410) x 5/55 = 4,290

Machinery = 50,600 - 14,300 = 36,300

	Debit	Credit
Depreciation Expense	4,290.00
Accumulated Depreciation		4,290.00

Accumulated Depreciation	38,610.00
Machinery		36,300.00
Gain on Disposal		2,310.00

b)

Accumulated Depreciation-Machinery = (56,100 - 3,300) x 2,350/15,000 = 8,272

	Debit	Credit
Depreciation Expense	8,272.00
Accumulated Depreciation		8,272.00
