Poynton Carpets Ltd sells floor coverings and runs a small fleet of vans for the firm’s carpet fitters. The vans are depreciated on the straight-line basis over 4 years to a standard residual value of £4,000, after which it is a normal company policy to sell the vans and replace them. The company charges a full year’s depreciation in the year of acquisition and of disposal. During the year to 31st December 2019 two vans were disposed of as follows: 1. Van 1 was bought on 21st January 2016 for £20,000 and was sold on 1st December 2019 for £6,500. 2. Van 2 was bought on 9th January 2017 for £22,000 but after an accident, during the year it was decided to dispose of it earlier than normal. It was sold on 15th December 2019 for £7,000. Your task: (a) Record the van disposals using the expanded accounting equation.
