Answer #1

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life

= (870,000-61,000)/5 = 161,800

Book value on May 1,2021 = 870,000 - (161,800*4) - (161,800*4/12)

= 870,000 - 647,200 - 53,933

= 168,867

Gain = Cash received - Book value

18,800 = Cash received - 168,867

Cash received = 18,800 + 168,867

= 187,367
