| Jmiller74 | The question is written incomplete, it does not mention the change in the book value by 20K. |
| John1965 | Yes it is complete: the 20,000 comes from 300,000 - 280,000. |
| johntan1979 | There is no change in book value whatsoever. Book value of disposed asset = $40,000 $20,000 is Ending building - Beginning building = $300k - $280k |
| farhan92 | took me a minute or so to find the book value -.- |
| ascruggs92 | Start 280,000 Less: Depreciation Exp. (25,000) Less: Disposal of Assets (40,000) Buildings Acct. Balance before purchases 215,000 Purchases 85,000 Ending Balance: 300,000 |
| cfastudypl | using the fixed asset t-account: closing balance 300k + depreciation 25k + disposal value 40k less opening balance 280k = 85k(300+25+40-280) |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
