It appears that you are asking for assistance in preparing an account for a machine that was purchased on October 1, with a portion of the machine sold on January 31, and an additional purchase made on the same day. The account should also reflect the depreciation expense for the machine using the declining balance method, with a 10% depreciation rate and a depreciation base of the written down value (WDV).
Here is an example of how the account could be prepared:
October 1: Machine purchased for 40000. Debit machine account for 40000. Credit cash or accounts payable for 40000.
January 31: 1/4 of machine sold for 5600. Debit cash or accounts receivable for 5600. Credit machine account for 5600.
January 31: Additional machine purchased for 15000. Debit machine account for 15000. Credit cash or accounts payable for 15000.
To calculate the depreciation expense for the machine, you will need to determine the WDV of the machine at the beginning of each period. The WDV is calculated by subtracting the accumulated depreciation from the original cost of the machine.
For example, if the machine has a useful life of 4 years and a 10% depreciation rate, the WDV at the end of the first year would be calculated as follows:
WDV at end of year 1 = Original cost - Depreciation expense
= 40000 - (40000 * 10% * 1/4)
= 40000 - 10000
= 30000
The WDV at the end of the second year would be calculated in the same way, using the WDV at the end of the first year as the starting point.
You will need to continue this process for each period until the end of the useful life of the machine, at which point the WDV will be equal to the residual value of the machine.
It is important to note that this is just one possible way to prepare the account, and the specific details and treatment of the transactions may vary depending on the accounting policies and procedures of the company.
