Explanation:

a. Depreciation of the machinery has been recorded at a rate of $2,976 per year.

Depreciation per month = $2,976/12 = $248. In 2021, the machinery is used from Jan 1 to August 31 (8 months).

Depreciation expense for 2021 = $248 x 8 = $1,984

Journal entries to update depreciation for 2021:

Debit Depreciation expense $1,984

Credit Accumulated depreciation account $1,984

b.

Accumulated depreciation account at December 31, 2020 has credit balance of $12,400 ($10,416 + $1,984 = $12,400)

The carrying amount of the machinery = Cost of the machinery -  Accumulated depreciation = $24,800 - $12,400 = $12,400

Sales price - Carrying amount of the machinery = $13,020 - $12,400 = $620>0

The company recognizes gain on the sale. Journal entries to record the sale:

Debit Cash $13,020

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $12,400

Credit Machinery asset $24,800

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
