Suppose Kansas Corp. purchased this equipment on July 17, 20X6, and sold it on April 19, 20X8, for $95,000. The amount of gain or loss is:

loss on sale: ($10,000)

Explanation:

some information is missing, so I looked it up:

the equipment was purchased at $140,000

estimated useful life: 5 years

residual value: $40,000

using straight line depreciation, the depreciation expense per year = ($140,000 - $40,000) / 5 years = $20,000

total depreciation expense between purchase and sale:

mid-month July 20x6 - mid-month July 20x7 = $20,000

mid-month July 20x7 - mid-month April 20x8 = $20,000 x 9/12 = $15,000

carrying value at the moment of sale = $140,000 - $35,000 = $105,000

loss on sale = $95,000 - $105,000 = ($10,000)
