Expert Solution

c) Computation of Gain or Loss from Sale of  Asset under each of the Depreciation Method:

Double Declining Balance Method:

Book Value of Color Printer = Cost of Printer - Accumulated Depreciation

= $38,000-$34,500

= $3,500

 

Gain or Loss from Sale of Asset = Sales Value - Book Value

= $1,650 - $3500

Loss from Sale of Asset = $1,850

 

Units-of-Production Method:

Book Value of Color Printer = Cost of Printer - Accumulated Depreciation

= $38,000-$34,500

= $3,500

 

Gain or Loss from Sale of Asset = Sales Value - Book Value

= $1,650 - $3500

Loss from Sale of Asset = $1,850
