1) loss at disposal                   68,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

2) loss at disposal                   33,000 debit

   cash                                     35,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

3)

   cash                                     68,000 debit

  accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

4) cash                                     80,000 debit

   accumulated depreciation 182,000 debit

   gain  at disposal                          12,000 credit

                 milling machine          250,000 credit

Explanation:

the book value is the same for all alternatives:

cost - accumualted depreciation

250,000 - 182,000 = 68,000 net book value

1) as there is no salvage value all the book alue is considered loss at disposal

from #2 to #4 we recieve cash for the milling machine to determinate the loss/gain we need to do as follows:

proceeds less book value = result (gain if positive loss if negative)

2)       35,000 - 68,000 = -33,000

3)         68,000 - 68,000 = 0

4)          80,000 - 68,000 = 12,000

i know right it’s not fair some people are just so rude unlike you your actually trying to get to know people and i think that is very kind

the correct answer is d. wealthy colonists to take care of the less fortunate. hope this
