    a.

    July 31, 2022

    Depreciation expense $4290 Dr

    Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $4290 Cr

    b.

    July 31. 2022

    Cash $20260 Dr

    Accumulated depreciation-Equipment $39290 Dr

    Loss on disposal $12750 Dr

    Equipment $72300 Cr

    Explanation:

    a.

    The entry would be to charge depreciation expense for the first six months of equipment and to do so, we debit the depreciation expense account and credit the accumulated depreciation account.

    b.

    We first need to determine the net book value of the asset on the day of sale and then calculate the gain or loss on disposal.

    Net Book Value or NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

    Accumulated depreciation = 35000 + 4290 = 39290

    NBV = 72300 - 39290 = $33010

    Loss on disposal = 20260 - 33010 = - $12750 loss
