Answer & Explanation:
Depreciation a/c ...dr
Loss a/c .....dr
Charity a/c .. dr
To machine a/c
- Machine amount = Machine cost value (eg, lets suppose = 2,000,000)
- Charity amount = fair value of machine at time of donation = 1,4300,000. It is the amount that could have been otherwise received on machine sale, but is given as charity.
- Accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation on machine upto date (eg, lets suppose = 5,00,000)
- Loss = (Machine cost - accumulated depreciation) - current fair value
Eg: If cost = 2,000,000 & accumulated depreciation = 5,00,000. Machine value should be = 2,000,000 - 5,00,000 = 15,000,000. The fall in value from 15,000,000 to 1,430,000 = 70,000 is loss on machine disposal.
