How much did the company receive in cash from the sale of machinery?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : Gain = Selling Price - Book Value

    Historical cost:
    Beginning value of machinery + machinery bought – machinery sold = Ending value of machinery 80 million + 14 million – 91 million = 3 million
    Machinery sold = 3 million

    Accumulated depreciation:
    Beginning value of depreciation + depreciation expense – machinery depreciation = Ending value of depreciation 25 million + 7 million – 31 million = 1 million
    Machinery depreciation = 1 million

    Book value:
    Book value = Historical cost – accumulated depreciation
    Book value = 3 - 1 = 2 million
    Selling price:
    Selling price = Gain + Book Value
    Selling price = 1.5 million + 2 million = 3.5 million.
