howarth manufacturing company purchased equipment on june 30, 2020, at a cost of $115,000. the residual value of the equipment was estimated to be $10,000 at the end of a five-year life. the equipment was sold on march 31, 2024, for $33,000. howarth uses the straight-line depreciation method for all of its plant and equipment. partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service. required: prepare the journal entry to record the sale. assuming that howarth had instead used the double-declining-balance method, prepare the journal entry to record the sale.

Sagot :

(1) The journal entry to record the sale is:

March 31, 2021      Cash                                             $43,000

                              Accumulated depreciation         $112,500

                              Loss on sale                                 $4,500

                              Equipment                                                       $160,000

(2) Howarth had instead used the double-declining-balance method, then the journal entry to record the sale is:

March 31, 2021 Cash                                            $43,000

                               Accumulated depreciation        $135,117

                               Gain on sale                                                    $18,117

                               Equipment                                                       $160,000

In the given question,

Howarth manufacturing company purchased equipment on June 30, 2020, at a cost of $115,000.

The residual value of the equipment was estimated to be $10,000 at the end of a five-year life.

The equipment was sold on march 31, 2024, for $33,000.

(1) We have to prepare the journal entry to record the sale.

Depreciation under Straight line method = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life

Depreciation under Straight line method = ($160,000 - $10,000) / 5

Depreciation under Straight line method = $30,000

               Depreciation expense

2017 $15,000 ($30,000*6/12)

2018 $30,000

2019 $30,000

2020 $30,000

2021 $7,500 ($30,000*3/12) = $112,500

March 31, 2021      Cash                                             $43,000

                              Accumulated depreciation         $112,500

                              Loss on sale                                 $4,500

                              Equipment                                                       $160,000

(2) Assuming that Howarth had instead used the double-declining-balance method, then we have to prepare the journal entry to record the sale.

Depreciation under Double declining balance method = (Cost - Accumulated depreciation) / Useful life * 2

              Depreciation expense

2017       $32,000 [($160,000 - $0)/5*2*6/12]

2018       $51,200 [($160,000-$32,000)/5*2]

2019       $30,720 [($160,000-$32,000-$51,200)/5*2]

2020      $18,432 [($160,000-$32,000-$51,200-$30,720)/5*2]

2021       $2,765[($160,000-$32,000-$51,200-$30,720-$18,432)/5*2*3/12]

               $135,117

March 31, 2021 Cash                                            $43,000

                               Accumulated depreciation        $135,117

                               Gain on sale                                                    $18,117

                               Equipment                                                       $160,000
