account; a gain or loss is reported if the decrease and increase are not equal.
C) first record Depreciation Expense for the period up to the date of sale, and then
record the disposal by increasing Cash and decreasing both Equipment and
Accumulated Depreciation; a gain or loss is reported if the proceeds from the sale do
not equal the asset’s book value.
D) record Accumulated Depreciation for the entire current accounting period.
