On October 1, 2013, the building has an estimated selling price of $145,000, and it is estimated that selling costs associated with the disposal of the building will be $9,000. On December 31, 2013, the estimated selling price of the building has increased to $170,000, with estimated selling costs remaining at $9,000. Make the journal entries necessary to record
(1) The initial classification of the building as held for sale on October 1, 2013, and
