    Questions

    A Fire completely destroys the machine on August 31, 2021. An insurance settlement of $643,280 was received for this casualty. Assume the settlement was received immediately.

    B On April 1, 2021, Tritt sold the machine for $1,555,840 to Dwight Yoakam Company.

    C On July 31, 2021, the company donated this machine to the Mountain King City Council. The fair value of the machine at the time of the donation was estimated to be $1,645,600.

    Explanation:

    In all cases, the company will write-off the equipment and acc depreciation

    A.-

    complete depreciation for 2020: 66,000

    depreciation until August 31th: 66,000 x 8/12 = 44,000

    Total depreciation 104,000

    book value 1,034,000 - 104,000 = 924,000

    loss: 924,000 - 643,280 = 280,72‬0

    b)

    complete depreciation for 2020: 66,000

    depreciation until April 31th: 66,000 x 4/12 = 22,000

    Total depreciation 88,000

    book value 1,034,000 - 88,000 = 946,000

    1,555,480 - 946,000 = 608,480

    c)

    complete depreciation for 2020: 66,000

    depreciation until July 31th: 66,000 x 7/12 = 38,500

    Total depreciation 104,500

    book value 1,034,000 - 104,500 = 929,500

    gain: 1,645,600 - 929,500 = 716.100
