1. How much cash did Anders receive from the sale of equipment?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Cash Anders received from the sales of equipment was $37,000

Explanation:

The equipment with a book value of $40,000 and an original cost of $210,000 was sold at a loss of $3,000

In Anders Company

The carrying amount of the equipment = book value of equipment = $40,000

The equipment was sold at a loss of $3,000. Therefore:

The carrying amount of the equipment - Sales price (Cash Anders received from the sales) = $3,000

Cash Anders received from the sales = The carrying amount of the equipment - $3,000 = $40,000 - $3,000 = $37,000
