equipment with a cost of $20,000 and a book value of $6,000 was sold during the year for cash of $18,000. additional equipment was purchased during the year for cash. what was the amount of cash paid for purchases of equipment during the year

Respuesta :

The amount of cash paid for purchases of equipment during the year is $8,000.

Calculating the problem:

Accumulated depreciation on Equipment sold = Cost of equipment sold - Book Value = $20000 - $6000 = $14,000

Depreciation expense  in operating activities section = Ending Accumulated Depreciation - (Beginning Accumulated Depreciation - Accumulated depreciation on Equipment sold)

= $184000 - ($190000 - $14000)

= $184000 - $176000

    = $8,000

What do you mean by depreciation?

The term depreciation refers to an accounting technique used to spread the cost of a tangible or physical asset over its useful life. Depreciation indicates how much of an asset's value has been used. It allows companies to generate income from the assets they own by making payments over a period of time.

Accumulated depreciation is the total amount an asset is depreciated to one point. Each period, the depreciation expense recognized in that period is added to the first accumulated depreciation
