Answer : D.

I agree with your answers in question 2, 4, 6

For question 1:
The answer is D

Beginning CA 675
Plus Purchase 120
Less Sale
Ending 610

Therefore, Sale was for 185 at book value, but you know it was sold at 40 above BV, therefore, it was sols at 185+40 = $225,000

For 3 and 5, I don't know.

Thanks fOR THE REPLY... For Question 1 The J/Entry to record the sale of capital asset is

Dr Cash 170000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 55000 340000+138000-423000=55000
Cr Gain On sale of Asset 40000
Cr Capital Asset 185000

My Question is why we don't consider A or C since cash flow statement involves only cash transaction and gain will be less from net income in operating activities.

Acutally my concept to preprae cash flow statement is not clear so that's why I am asking this question again... clarify about cash and gain
