Accounting Asset Disposals
Bengali Petroleum converted one of its factries from oi refining to ethanol manufacaturing in 2008. This decision, advocated by new management, came exactlyone yea after the purchase of oi-specific machinery for $12,000. These machines, which now have to be removed, were expected to last five years with a salvage value of $2000. Bengail uses the double-declining balance method to depeciate the machines.
Fortunately, Bengail was able to find a buyer willing to pay $7,000 for the oil specific machinery.
