LOS h: Discuss the impact of sales or exchanges of long-lived assets on financial statements.

Spenser Inc. owns a piece of specialized machinery with a current fair value of $400,000.

A)
Loss of $360,000.
B)
Gain of $40,000.
C)
Loss of $100,000.



With an abandonment of an asset, the carrying value of the machinery is removed from the balance sheet and a loss of that amount is recognized in the income statement. The carrying value is $360,000, which equals the original cost ($500,000) less the accumulated depreciation ($140,000).

 

Felker Inc. owns a piece of specialized machinery. The original cost of the machinery was $500,000 and to date there is an accumulated depreciation balance of $140,000. Which of the following will Felker recognize on its income statement if it sells the machinery for $400,000?

A)
Loss of $100,000.
B)
Loss of $360,000.
C)
Gain of $40,000.



With a sale of an asset to a third party, the difference between the proceeds and carrying value is reported as a gain or loss on the income statement. The carrying value is $360,000, which equals the original cost ($500,000) less the accumulated depreciation ($140,000). Therefore, the gain is equal to $40,000 ($400,000 proceeds less $360,000 carrying value).
