    Provision for Depreciation- Equipment      23400 Dr

Explanation:

1. The depreciation is charged on tractor on a straight line basis for 5 year useful life estimation.

The yearly depreciation expense and transfer to provision for depreciation account is,

Depreciation-yearly =  (42000 - 3000) / 5 = 7800

The equipment is sold after 3 years thus provision of 3 years exists.

Total provision for dep after 3 years = 7800 * 3 = 23400

The NBV after 3 years = 42000 - 23400 = 18600

The gain on disposal = 21600 - 18600 = 3000

2. The selling price now is 13600 but other factors remain constant.

The loss on disposal = 13600 - 18600 = 5000

Tundexi

1. What is the yearly depreciation?

= ($42000 - $3000) / 5

= $7800

Given equipment is sold after 3 years, the total provision for depreciation after 3 years = $7800 * 3 = $23400

Net Book value after 3 years = $42000 - $23400

Net Book value after 3 years = $18600

Gain on disposal = $21600 - $18600

Gain on = 3000
