Table (1)

To record the purchase of vehicle and the payment of prepaid insurance:

  • Equipment is an asset account and it increases due to the purchase of new vehicle. Thus, it is debited with $17,000.
  • Prepaid insurance is an asset and it increases by $1,800. Thus, it is debited with $1,800.
  • Cash is an asset account. Purchase of equipment and payment of prepaid insurance decreases the cash by $18,800. Thus, it is credited.

Determine the amount to be recorded for the new vehicle.

Table (4)

Explanation of Solution

Depreciation: Depreciation refers to the reduction in the monetary value of a fixed asset due to its use, wear and tear or obsolescence. In other words, it is a method of distributing the cost of the fixed assets over its estimated useful life.

Straight-line method: Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset.

Depreciation expense=Cost of the assetResidual valueEstimated useful life

Working Note:

Determine the amount of allocation base:

Allocation base =Orginal costResidual value=$17,000$4,500=$12,500

(1)

In the year 1, the period is July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Therefore, depreciation expense in the year 2022 is only six months and similarly, the depreciation for the final year is from January 1, 2027 to June 30, 2027. Hence, the calculation of depreciation for December 31, 2022 and for June 30, 2027 is as follows:

Depreciation expense=Allocation base×Number of monthsMonths in a year=$2,500(1)×612=$1,250

Prepaid insurance900
(To record the expired prepaid insurance)

Table (5)

To record the depreciation expense:

  • Depreciation expense is an expense (decreases the stockholders’ equity) and it increases by $1,250. Therefore, debit depreciation account with $1,250.
  • Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset. Increase in the accumulated depreciation account decreases the related asset account. Therefore, credit accumulated depreciation account with $1,250.

To record the expired prepaid insurance:

  • Insurance expense is an expense is an expense (decreases the stockholders’ equity) and it increases by $900. Therefore, debit insurance expense account with $900.
  • Prepaid insurance is an asset. It decreases the value of asset. Therefore, credit prepaid insurance account with $900.

Working notes:

Determine the prepaid insurance for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Insurance expense=Policy amount×Number of monthsMonths in a year=$1,800×6 months (July to December)12 months=$900

Loss on sale (5)2,000
          Equipment17,000
(To record the sale of equipment for loss.)

Table (6)

To record the sale of equipment for loss:

  • Cash is an asset and it increases the cash balance due to sale of the asset. Therefore debit cash account with $10,000.
  • Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset. Increase in the accumulated depreciation account decreases the related asset account. Therefore, debit accumulated depreciation account with $5,000.
  • Loss on sale of equipment decreases the value of stockholders’ equity. Therefore, Loss on sale is debited with $2,000.
  • Equipment is an asset. Sale of asset decreases the asset account. Therefore, credit equipment account with $17,000

Working notes:

Determine the accumulated depreciation.

Accumulated depreciation =([Depreciation (July 2022  December 2022) ]+[Depreciation (January 2023  December 2023)]+[Depreciation (January 2024  July 2024)])=($2,500×1/2)+$2,500+($2,500×1/2)=$1,250+$2,500+$1,250=$5,000

Determine the gain / loss on sale of equipment.

Loss on sale= Cost of the asset  Cash  Accumulated depreciation=$17,000 (Refer Table (2))$10,000$5,000(4)Loss on sale=($2,000)
