    The journal entries for the sales of the patent and equipment are as follows

    Dr Cash $1,225,000

    Dr Accumulated depreciation $200000

    Cr Patent asset account $170000

    Cr Equipment asset account $660000

    Cr Gain on disposal of assets $595000

    Explanation:

    The entries have been passed based on the sales of patent and equipment where the sum of $1225000 was realized in cash ($850000+$375000).

    The gain on the disposal of $595000, is arrived at by deducting book values of the asset from the proceeds on disposal ($1225000-$170000-$460000).

    The entry passed in accumulated depreciation is to write off the accumulated depreciation on the equipment sold.
