Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $30,000

Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment A/c $12,494

        To Equipment A/c $40,606

        To Gain on Disposal of Equipment $1,888

(Being sale of machinery is recorded and the remaining balance is credited to the Gain on Disposal of Machinery A/c)

The computation is shown below:

= $1,888
