Equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $280,000. The equipment was depreciated using the double-declining-balance method based on an estimated useful life of 16 years and an estimated residual value of $14,000. Required:   a. What was the depreciation for the first year? Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round the depreciation for the year to the nearest whole dollar.   b. Assuming that the equipment was sold at the end of the second year for $230,400, determine the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment.   c. Journalize the entry on Dec. 31 to record the sale. Refer to the chart of accounts for the exact wording of the account titles. CNOW journals do not use lines for journal explanations. Every line on a journal page is used for debit or credit entries. CNOW journals will automatically indent a credit entry when a credit amount is entered.

Depreciation Methods

The word "depreciation" is defined as an accounting method wherein the cost of tangible assets is spread over its useful life and it usually denotes how much of the assets value has been used up. The depreciation is usually considered as an operating expense. The main reason behind depreciation includes wear and tear of the assets, obsolescence etc.
