Answer:

Credit gain on disposal of equipment $1400 will not be a part of the journal entry

Explanation:

The carrying value is the value of an asset in books which is net of accumulated depreciation. The equipment of Gaston has a carrying value of = 17000 - 3400 = 13600 on the day of sale.

The gain or loss on disposal is calculated by deducting the carrying value from the sales proceeds of the asset. Thus, the gain/loss on sale of the asset is,

12200 - 13600 = - $1400 or a loss on disposal of $1400

Thus, the entry to record the disposal is,

Cash                                          $12200 Dr

Accumulated depreciation      $3400 Dr

Loss on disposal                       $1400 Dr

             Equipment                               $17000 Cr
