To determine

Prepare the journal entry if the equipment is sold at $650,000.

Explanation of Solution

(a) To record the sale of equipment.

Date	Accounts title and explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
	Cash	650,000
	Equipment		617,200
	Gain on sale of equipment		32,800
	(To record the sale of equipment and gain on sale of equipment)

Table (1)

• Cash is an asset account and it is increased. Therefore, debit cash with $650,000.
• Equipment is an asset account and it is decreased. Therefore, credit cash with $617,200.
• Gain on sale of equipment is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit gain on sale of equipment with $32,800.
