Explanation:

Given the following information on Ottawa Corporation's machinery;

Cost = $20,000 (July 1, 2014)

Depreciation per year = $2,400

Accumulated depreciation = $8,400 (at December 31, 2017)

Then, the net book value of the asset at December 31, 2017

= 20000 -  8400

= $11,600

if the machinery is sold on September 1, 2018, for $10,500

Additional Depreciation (between 1 January and 31 August 2018) would have been computed

=8/12 × 2400

= $1,600

Net book value as at September 1, 2018

= 11600  -16000

= $10,000

Income on disposal = $10,500

Gain on disposal = $10,500 - $10,000

                            = $500

(a) Journal entries to update depreciation for 2018

Debit depreciation expense $500

Credit Accumulated depreciation $500

(b) Journal entries to record sales

To derecognize the asset

Debit Disposal account (p/l) $10,000

Credit asset account $10,000

To recognize the money received on  disposal

Debit Cash/ Accounts receivable $10,500

Credit Disposal account (p/l) $10,500

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
