    July 1, 2021 Depreciation expense $8925

    Accumulated Depreciation Expense $8925

    (Depreciation recorded by Rayya Co.)

    July 1, 2021 Cash $71400

    Accumulated Depreciation - Machine $62475

    Machine $142800

    (Machinery Sold for Cash)

    Case (2)

    July 1, 2021 Depreciation expense $8925

    Accumulated Depreciation Expense $8925

    (Depreciation recorded by Rayya Co.)

    July 1, 2021 Cash $59976

    Accumulated Depreciation - Machine $62475

    Loss on by fire $20349

    Explanation:

    The Case 1 requires to sale the machinery for $71400 while actual value of machinery was at the level $62475 which result in the loss of $8925 to Rayya Co. In order to sale machinery we need to get book value of machine that is calculated using half year depreciation and adding the value start of year accumulated depreciation. The case 2 required to settle sale of machinery with the insurance claim. Similarly we get loss on settlement with insurance company on event of insurance settlement.
