    Solution and Explanation:

    Depreciation expense is calculated as follows:

    Depreciation expense = Cost of machine minus residul value divide useful life of asset

    = (159600 - 0) / 8 = 19950

    Thus, annual depreciation expense is $19950

    Partial year depreciation expense = Anuual depreciation multiply period

    = 19950 mulitply 0.5 = $9975

    Thus, partial depreciation expense for the 01st january 2023 to July 1, 2023 is $9975

    the jorunal entry is as follows:

    Depreciation account Dr. 9975 ($)

    Accumulated depreciation Cr. 9975 ($)

    1. if machine is sold for $79800 cash

    Cash 79800

    Accumulated depreciation 89775

    gain on sale of machinery 9975

    Machinery 159600

    2. If machine is sold for $67032

    Cash 67032

    Accumulated depreciation 89775

    loss on sale of machinery 2793

    Machinery 159600
