    Cash 38000 Dr

    Equipment Account 52000 Cr

    Gain on Disposal 14300 Cr

    b.

    Cash 16500 Dr

    Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment 28300 Dr

    Loss on Disposal 7200 Dr

    Equipment Account 52000 Cr

    Explanation:

    a.

    The carrying value of the equipment is its net value in the books after deducting the accumulated depreciation from the cost.

    The carrying value of the asset before sale is = 52000 - 28300 = $23700

    The gain/loss on disposal = Cash received from sale - carrying value

    Gain/loss on disposal = 38000 - 23700 = $14300 or a gain of $14300

    b.

    The gain/loss on disposal = 16500 - 23700 = - $7200 or a loss of $7200
