    Cash Dr $10,900

    Accumulated depreciation $19,800

    Loss on sale of equipment $4,300

    To Equipment $35,000

    (Being the sale is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below:

    Cash Dr $10,900

    Accumulated depreciation $19,800

    Loss on sale of equipment $4,300

    To Equipment $35,000

    (Being the sale is recorded)

    The computation is shown below:

    = ($35,000 - $2,000) : 5 years * 3 years

    = $19,800

    Since the sale is made so we debited the cash for $10,900 and along with it the accumulated depreciation is also debited plus the purchase value of equipment is credited and the balancing figure is transferred to the loss on sale of equipment
