Equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $79 ,140.
00:07
The equipment was depreciated using the straight line depreciation method based on a useful life of six years and an estimated residual value of $7 ,920.
00:19
What was the depreciation expense for the first year? the formula for straight line depreciation is the cost minus the residual value over, the useful life.
00:34
That will tell us the per year depreciation cost.
00:38
Cost 79 ,140, minus the residual value, divided by a useful life of six years.
00:51
This gets me 11 ,870.
00:55
That is my depreciation expense per year.
01:02
Assuming the equipment was sold at the end of the second year for 59 ,800 determine the gain or the loss on the sale of equipment.
01:12
Well, this amount of depreciation is for every year.
01:16
So at the second year, we would have depreciated this asset twice this amount.
01:23
23 ,740.

Let's talk about the value of the asset...
