    Explanation:

    Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

    It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

    Mathematically,

    Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life

    When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is higher than the carrying value of the asset, the company makes a gain on disposal. The proceed from the disposal of an asset may be recorded in the disposal or other income account.

    On disposal, the carrying amount of the asset is derecognized by

    Debit Other income/disposal account (p/l)

    Credit Asset account

    with the cost of the asset, then,

    Debit Accumulated depreciation account

    Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)

    With the accumulated depreciation of the asset at the date of disposal,

    Furthermore,

    Debit Cash account

    Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)

    with the amount received from the disposal or sale of the asset

    Total cost = $192000 + $10000 + $2000

    = $204,000

    Depreciation

    = ($192000 + $10000 + $2000 - $23040) / 6

    = $30,160

    Accumulated depreciation at the end of its fifth year

    = 5 * $30,160

    = $150,800
