Solution

A gain on the sale of a plant asset is recognized when the selling price of the asset is higher than its book value (cost of the asset minus accumulated depreciation).

  1. An asset that cost 5,000withaccumulateddepreciationof5,000 with accumulated depreciation of 3,000 is sold for 1,500.Thebookvalueoftheassetis1,500. The book value of the asset is 5,000 - 3,000=3,000 = 2,000. Since the selling price ($1,500) is less than the book value, there is no gain.

  2. A fully depreciated asset is sold for 1,000.Afullydepreciatedassethasabookvalueof1,000. A fully depreciated asset has a book value of 0. Since the selling price ($1,000) is more than the book value, there is a gain.

  3. An asset with book value of 2,000issoldfor2,000 is sold for 2,000. Since the selling price is equal to the book value, there is no gain.

  4. An asset with a book value of 2,000issoldfor2,000 is sold for 1,500. Since the selling price is less than the book value, there is no gain.

  5. A fully depreciated asset is discarded. Since there is no selling price, there is no gain.

So, the situation that will result in recognizing a gain on sale of a plant asset is when "A fully depreciated asset is sold for $1,000."
