    Entry to record the partial year's depreciation on July 1, 2023:

    Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

    Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

    1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

    Debit Cash $45,500

    Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

    Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

    Credit Machine asset $105,000

    (2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

    Debit Cash $25,000

    Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

    Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

    Credit Machine asset $105,000

    Explanation:

    Rayya Co. uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:

    Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($105,000 - $0) / 7 = $15,000

    In 2023, the machine is used for 6 months (half year)

    Depreciation Expense = $15,000/2 = $7,500

    Entry to record the partial year's depreciation on July 1, 2023:

    Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

    Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

    On July 1, 2023, Accumulated depreciation = $15,000 x 4 + $7,500 = $67,500

    Carrying amount of the machine = $105,000 - $67,500 = $37,500

    (1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

    Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $45,500 - $37,500 = $8,000>0

    => The company recognizes gain on the sales $8,000

    Debit Cash $45,500

    Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

    Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

    Credit Machine asset $105,000

    (2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

    Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $25,000 - $37,500 = - $12,500<0

    => The company recognizes loss on the sales $12,500

    The entry should be made:

    Debit Cash $25,000

    Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

    Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

    Credit Machine asset $105,000
