Explanation / Answer
1. Book Value of the asset = $4,187
Calculation:
Original Cost of the asset = $44,060
Accumulated depreciation = $39,243
Book Value (carrying value) of the asset = $440,60 - $39,243 = $4,817
2. Gain on sale (disposal) of the asset = $1,583
Calculation:
Book Value of the asset (Calculated above) = $4,817
Sale value of the asset = $6,400
Gain on sale of the asset = Sale value - Book Value = $6,400 - $4,817 = $1,583
3. Affect on net income
Since the asset is disposed for a gain of $1,583, net income would be increased by the $1,583.
4. Affect of sale on the amount of total assets shown on the balance sheet
5. Affect of sale on the statement of cash flows
