    Part 1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021.

    Depreciation Expense $ 2,000 (debit)

    Accumulated Depreciation $ 2,000 (credit)

    Part 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck.

    Cash $58,000 (debit)

    Accumulated Depreciation $ 56,000 (debit)

    Loss on Sale of Delivery Truck $12,000 (debit)

    Delivery Truck $ 126,000 (credit)

    Part 3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000

    Cash $80,000 (debit)

    Accumulated Depreciation $ 56,000 (debit)

    Profit on Sale of Delivery Truck $10,000 (credit)

    Delivery Truck $ 126,000 (credit)

    Explanation:

    Part 1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021.

    Depreciation Expense 2021 = (126000-30000) / 8*2/12

    = 2000

    Part 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck.

    Accumulated Depreciation

    2016 = (126000-30000) / 8*1/2 = 6000

    2017 to 2020 = (126000-30000) / 8*4=48000

    2021 = (126000-30000) / 8*2/12 = 2000

    Total Depreciation = 56000

    Loss on Sale = Selling Price less Carrying Amount

    = $58,000 - ($126,000-$56,000)

    = - $12,000

    Part 3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $80,000

    Profit on Sale = Selling Price less Carrying Amount

    = $80,000 - ($126,000-$56,000)

    = $10,000

    Note; Carrying Amount of an Asset = Cost less Accumulated Depreciation
