Answer #1

Accumulated depreciation means the depreciation charged till date. We need to find the net book value of the truck for calculating the gain or loss on sale.

Net book value = Cost of the Truck - Accumulated book value

Net book value = $36000 - $30000 = $6000

Now, we will calculate the gain or loss on sale as per below:

Gain or loss on sale = Sale price - Net book value

Gain or loss on sale = $2000 - $6000

Gain or loss on sale = - $4000 (loss)

Required journal entry:

Date Description Debit Credit
Cash 2000
Loss on sale of truck 4000
Accumulated Depreciation 30000
Truck 36000
(for sale of truck and loss recognized)
