Equipment in general governmental service that had been acquired several years ago by a special revenue fund at a cost of $40,000 was sold for $15,000 cash. Accumulated depreciation of $30,000 existed at the time of the sale. The journal entry to be made in the special revenue fund will include all of the following except:
A. A debit to Cash for $15,000.B. A debit to Accumulated Depreciation for $30,000.C. A credit to Equipment for $40,000.D. A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000.

D. A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000.

Explanation:

As the equipment is used for governmental service and sold, the journal entry to record the disposal is as follows:

Debit    Cash                                                 $15,000

Debit    Accumulated Depreciation             $30,000

Credit                 Equipment                                      $40,000

Credit                 Gain on sale of equipment            $5,000

Calculation: Book value of equipment = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation = $40,000 - $30,000 = $10,000

Therefore, Gain on sale of equipment = Disposal value - Book value = $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000.

Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is also correct. Option C is also correct. Therefore, option D is not correct and it is the answer as it will not include in the journal.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
