Strawberry fields purchased a tractor at a cost of $39,000 and sold it two years later for $25,300. strawberry fields recorded depreciation using the straight-line method, a five-year service life, and an $8,000 residual value.

(1) what was the gain or loss on the sale?
(2) record the sale.

(a) ($1,300)

Explanation:

Accumulated depreciation = (Cost of tractor - residual value) ÷ Service life

                                             = ($39,000 – $8,000) ÷ 5 years

                                             = $6,200 per year

Accumulated depreciation for 2 years = $6,200 per year × 2 years

                                                                = $12,400

Book value of the tractor = cost of tractor - Accumulated depreciation

                                          = $39,000 - $12,400

                                          = $26,600

Sale value of the tractor = $25,300

(a) Loss on sale = Sale value of the tractor - Book value of the tractor

                     = $25,300 - $26,600

                     = ($1,300)

(b) The journal entry is as follows:
