Q8. smith auto dealership had beginning net fixed assets of $216,525 and ending
net fixed assets of $208,650. during the year, assets with a combined book
value of $7,844 were sold. depreciation for the year was $41,320.
what is the net cash flow from the purchase or sale of assets?

The net cash flow is $7,844 from the sale of the assets.

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the average fixed assets

The average net fixed assets can be determined using the expression;

Av=(Fb+Fe)/2

where;

Av=average net fixed assets

Fb=net fixed assets at the beginning of the year

Fe=net fixed assets at the end of the year

In our case;

Av=unknown

Fb=$216,525

Fe=$208,650

replacing;

Av=(216,525+208,650)/2=$212,587.50

The average net fixed assets=$212,587.50

Step 2: Determine the net fixed assets after accounting for depreciation

This can be expressed as;

Net fixed assets=average net fixed assets-depreciation

where;

average net fixed assets=$212,587.50

depreciation=$41,320

replacing;

Net fixed assets=(212,587.50-41,320)=$171,267.50

Step 3: Debit the fixed asset account and credit the cash account

Account                                Debit                    Credit

Fixed assets                        7,844                   163,423.50

Cash flow                        163,423.50                  7,844

The net cash flow is $7,844 from the sale of the assets.
