Prepare the journal entries to record the disposal of machinery on January 2 under each separate situation.
Explanation of Solution
Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Prepare the journal entries to record the disposal of the machine on January 3 under each of the given situations as follows:
- 1. Company B sold the machine for $18,250 cash.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Post Ref |
Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
January 2 | Cash | 18,250 | ||
24,625 | ||||
Loss on disposal of Machinery (1) | 1,125 | |||
Machinery | 44,000 | |||
(To record the loss on disposal of machinery) |
Table (1)
- Cash is an asset, and it increases the value of assets by $18,250. Therefore, debit the cash account with $18,250.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset, and it increases the asset by $24,625. Therefore, debit Accumulated depreciation with $24,625.
- Loss on sale of machinery is loss of the company and it decreases the value of equity by $1,125. Therefore, debit the loss on sale of machinery with $1,125.
- Machinery is an asset, and it decreases the value of assets by $44,000. Therefore, credit machinery account by $44,000.

Calculate the loss on disposal of machinery:
- 2. The machine is traded in for a newer machine having a $60,200 cash price. A $25,000 trade-in allowance is received and the balance is paid in cash.

Table (2)
- Machinery is an asset, and it increases the value of assets by $60,200. Therefore, debit the machinery account with $60,200.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset, and it increases the asset by $24,625. Therefore, debit Accumulated depreciation with $24,625.
- Machinery (old) is an asset, and it decreases the value of assets by $44,000. Therefore, credit machinery account by $44,000.
- Cash is an asset, and it decreases the value of assets by $35,200. Therefore, credit the cash account with $35,200.
- Gain from sale of machinery is revenue of the company and it increases the value of equity by $5,625. Therefore, debit the loss on sale of machinery with $5,625.
