Equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $587,500. The equipment was depreciated using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 9 years and an estimated residual value of $47,305. a. What was the depreciation for the first year? Round your answer to the nearest cent. b. Using the rounded amount from Part a in your computation, determine the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment, assuming it was sold at the end of year eight for $100,097. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Enter your answer as a positive amount. Feedback c. Journalize the entry to record the sale. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
