Note 1:
Since there is no salvage value, the book value of the equipment is zero. Thus, for recording the retirement of the equipment, the
Explanation:
Transaction 1: Purchase of land on April 1, 2018.
- Land is an asset and is increased by $2,200,000 due to purchase of land. Therefore, Land account is debited with $2,200,000.
- Cash is an asset and is decreased by $2,200,000 due to the amount paid on purchase of equipment. Therefore, Cash account is credited with $2,200,000.
Transaction 2: Record of depreciation expense on May 1, 2018.
- Depreciation expense is an expense, and it decreases the
stockholder’s equity by $20,000. Therefore, Depreciation expense – Equipment is debited with $20,000. - Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset with a normal credit balance. It is increased by $20,000 that decreases the value of assets by $20,000. Therefore, the Accumulated depreciation-Equipment account is credited with $20,000.
Transaction 3: Sale of equipment on May 1, 2018.
- Accumulated depreciation-Equipment is a contra asset with a normal credit balance. Its decreased value increases the value of the asset by $440,000. Therefore, Accumulated depreciation-Equipment account is debited with $440,000.
- Cash is an asset and increased by $170,000 due to sale of equipment. Therefore, Cash account is debited with $170,000.
- Equipment is an asset and decreased due to sale of equipment by $600,000. Therefore, Equipment account is credited with $600,000.
- Gain on disposal of Plant assets increases the revenue and thus the stockholders’ equity is increased by $10,000. Therefore, the gain on disposal of plant assets account is credited with $10,000.
Transaction 4: Sale of land on June 1, 2018.
- Cash is an asset and increased by $1,600,000 due to sale of equipment. Therefore, Cash account is debited with $1,600,000.
- Land is an asset and decreased due to sale of land by $1,000,000. Therefore, Land account is credited with $1,000,000.
- Gain on disposal of Plant assets increases the revenue and thus the stockholders’ equity is increased by $600,000. Therefore, the gain on disposal of plant assets account is credited with $600,000.
Transaction 4: Purchase of equipment on July 1.
- Equipment is an asset and is increased by $1,100,000 due to purchase of land. Therefore, Land account is debited with $1,100,000.
- Cash is an asset and is decreased by $1,100,000 due to the amount paid on purchase of equipment. Therefore, Cash account is credited with $1,100,000.
Transaction 5: Record of depreciation for the retired equipment on December 31, 2018.
- Depreciation expense is an expense, and it decreases the stockholder’s equity by $70,000. Therefore, Depreciation expense – Equipment is debited with $70,000.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset with a normal credit balance. It is increased by $70,000 that decreases the value of assets by $70,000. Therefore, the Accumulated depreciation-Equipment account is credited with $70,000.
Transaction 6: Retirement of equipment on December 31, 2018.
- Accumulated depreciation-Equipment is a contra asset with a normal credit balance. Its decreased value increases the value of the asset by $700,000. Therefore, Accumulated depreciation-Equipment account is debited with $700,000.
- Equipment is an asset and decreased due to sale of equipment by $700,000. Therefore, Equipment account is credited with $700,000.
