Question

I need help on how to do this practice problem and how to start it.

 

On March 1, 2022, Newt’s All Things Weasels purchased an automatic weasel groomer, the Weaselmatic, for $62,000 cash. Newt estimated that the machine would have a useful life of 5 years and a resale or residual value of $2,000. 

 

Instructions: 

  •  Make two T accounts (Machine and Accumulated Depreciation – Machine) at the top.
  • Create the journal entry for the acquisition of the machine. Post to the T accounts
  • Create the journal entry to record depreciation expense on 12/31/22 and 12/31/23. Post both to the T accounts.  NOTE: Show your calculations for depreciation expense.
  • What is the book value of the Weaselmatic at 12/31/23? Show your calculation.
  • If Newt sold the Weaselmatic on January 1, 2024 for $42,500, how much gain or loss would he record?
