(b) Prepare all entries that are necessary on December 31, 2004. Show a check of the amount recorded for the new machine.
a)
Cost of Machine = $170,000
Less: accumulated Depreciation ($76,000)
Book Value = $94,000
Less : Fair value of Assets ($108,000 + $10,000) = $118,000
Gain = $ 24,000
Accumulated depreciation =( $170,000 - $10,000 salvage)/ 10 years = $16000 x 4 years 9 months/12 = 16000 x 4.75 years
b.
Depreciation Expense $16,000
Accumulated Depreciation $16,000
Machine (New) $108,000
Cash $10,000
Accumulated Depreciation $76,000
Machine (old) $170,000
