Recording Fixed Asset Disposal

On April 1, 2020, one of the two large production machines used by Evert Company stripped a gear, causing major internal damage. On April 5, 2020, the company decided to purchase a new machine (cost of $547,500) so that production could continue. On January 1, the accounts showed the following for the old machine: original cost, $270,000; accumulated depreciation, $189,000 (20-year life; no residual value). The company did not accept a trade-in offer of $40,500. Instead, the old machine was sold on April 5 to another company for $72,000. Evert spent $9,000 cleaning and $3,000 moving the machine prior to shipping. Insurance premiums (prepaid) on the old machine were $1,350; the unused portion of the premium is applied to the new machine. That insurance was paid on January 1 and covered the period January 1 through December 31.
