Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Selling cost of equipment = $520,000

Original cost of the equipment = $200,000

Depreciation of asset = $20,000

The net amount of the Equipment = Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation

The net amount = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000

The Profit on Sale of the Equipment = Selling cost - The net amount

                                                               = $520,000 - $180,000

                                                               = $340,000

The equipment account (gross cost) is reduced by a net amount of $340,000 .
