Explanation:

July 1, Year 1 (Yellow Rose Corp. purchased a machine)

                                            DEBIT      CREDIT

Machine                            $28,000  

Cash                                                     $28,000

Working

Cost of machine = Purchase price + Sales tax + Installation

Cost of machine =  $25,000 + $2,000 + $1,000

Cost of machine =   $28,000

Depreciation for year 1 (October to December)

                                                       DEBIT      CREDIT

Depreciation Expenses                $1,300  

Accumulated Depreciation                             $1,300

Working

Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - salvage value) / useful life

Annual Depreciation expense = (28000 - 2000) / 5 = $5,200

Depreciation for 3 months

Depreciation = $5,200 x 3/12

Depreciation = $1300

Sale of the machine

                                                       DEBIT      CREDIT

Cash                                        $14,000  

Loss on Sale                                 $7,500  

Accumulated Depreciation         $6,500  

Machinery                                                       $28,000

Workng

Gain/Loss on sale = Sale proceed - carrying value

Gain/Loss on sale = 14,000 - 21,500

Loss on sale = $7,500

Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Carrying value = 28,000 - 6500 = 21500

Accumulated depreciation = $1,300 + $5,200 = $6,500

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.

hope this

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.
