You are given the following additional information all of which is considered material and (unless stated otherwise) none of which has been taken into consideration in arriving at the figures shown in the unadjusted trial balance above.

(i) On 1 October, Hercules Ho sold a treadmill that costs $5,000, with accumulated depreciation of $2,000 as at 31 Dec 2017 for cash of $3,000. Hercules Ho deposited the cash into his personal bank account. Hercules Ho forgot to inform his accountant of this transaction. According to him, the cash taken by him was to be treated as a loan to him.

Both the cost of the treadmill and the accumulated depreciation were included in the amount shown for training equipment at cost and the accumulated depreciation for training equipment in the unadjusted trial balance above. The residual value of the treadmill was originally estimated to be $500.
