Answer & Explanation:

Depreciation a/c ... dr

Loss a/c ... dr

Charity a/c ... dr

To machine a/c

Machine amount = Machine cost value (eg, lets suppose = 2,000,000) Charity amount = fair value of machine at time of donation = 1,4300,000. It is the amount that could have been otherwise received on machine sale, but is given as charity. Accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation on machine upto date (eg, lets suppose = 5,00,000) Loss = (Machine cost - accumulated depreciation) - current fair value

Eg: If cost = 2,000,000 & accumulated depreciation = 5,00,000. Machine value should be = 2,000,000 - 5,00,000 = 15,000,000. The fall in value from 15,000,000 to 1,430,000 = 70,000 is loss on machine disposal.
