Answer 1

Note: As per HOMEWORKLIB POLICY, only one question is allowed to answer at a time, so here first question is being answered :

(a)

Under straight line method of depreciation,

Depreciation per annum = (initial cost - residual value)/useful life

= ($78660 - $7920)/6

= $11790

Therefore,

For first year:

Depreciation expenses = $11790

(b)

As annual depreciation expense is uniform each year

depreciation for second year = $11790

therefore,

book value at the end of second year = initial cost - accumulated depreciation

= $78660 - ($11790 + $11790) = $55080

therefore,

gain on sale of equipment = sales value - book value

= $59486 - $55080

= $4406

(c)

journal entry:

Account title	debit	credit
Cash accumulated depreciation gain on sale of equipment Equipment	$59486 $23580 . .	. . $4406 $78660
