Answer:

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

Straight line depreciation

  • Straight line depreciation charges the same amount of depreciation for the period the asset is in use in the business.
  • The attached image illustrates how this charge is applied consistanly over the period the asset is in use in the business.
  • Deprecition charge is calculated as :

Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Useful Life

Calculations of depreciation

Cost = $105,000

Salvage Value = $0

Useful life = 7

thus,

Depreciation charges for the years the asset is in use are :

2019 = $15,000

2020 = $15,000

2021 = $15,000

2022= $15,000

2023 = $7,500 (half year in use means half year depreciation)

Accumulated Depreciation

Accumulated Depreciation = Total of all depreciation charges on asset to date of sale

                                             = $15,000 x 4 + $7,500

                                             = $67,500

In conclusion, straight line depreciation method charges the same amount of depreciation for each year the asset is in use in the business. A partial depreciation has to be provided for in the year asset is sold.
