Answer:
Correct option (a)
Explanation:
When a machinery is sold at book value, no gain or loss is recognized in the transaction. The depreciation expense accumulated throughout the period is removed. So, accumulated depreciation is debited. Similarly, cost of machinery is also removed by crediting it.
Cash received is debited as increase in assets are debited. Journal entry to record the same is:
Particulars Debit Credit
Cash XXXX
Accumulated depreciation XXX
Machinery XXXX
(To record disposing off
machinery at book value)
