Accumulated depreciation-Equipment   $39290 Dr

Loss on disposal                                       $12750 Dr

           Equipment                                            $72300 Cr

Explanation:

a.

The entry would be to charge depreciation expense for the first six months of equipment and to do so, we debit the depreciation expense account and credit the accumulated depreciation account.

b.

We first need to determine the net book value of the asset on the day of sale and then calculate the gain or loss on disposal.

Net Book Value or NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Accumulated depreciation = 35000 + 4290 = 39290

NBV = 72300 - 39290  = $33010

Loss on disposal = 20260 - 33010 = - $12750 loss
