a) What entry would Bylie make to record the sale of the machine for $25,000 cash?

b) What entry would Bylie make to record the sale of the machine for $15,000 cash?

A)

Cash                                                        $25000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation-Machine  $28000 Dr

               Machine                                       $50000 Cr

               Gain on disposal                          $3000 Cr

B)

Cash                                                        $15000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation-Machine  $28000 Dr

Loss on disposal                                    $7000 Dr

               Machine                                             $50000 Cr

Explanation:

The net book value of the machine is cost - accumulated depreciation.

Thus, the NBV = 50000 - 28000 = $22000

a. The gain on disposal = Cash received - NBV

Gain on disposal = 25000 - 22000 = $3000 gain

b. The gain on disposal = 15000 - 22000 = -$7000 (loss on disposal)

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.

i think it is sales-oriented, but i am not sure
