Book value is the asset cost minus accumulated depreciation. In the first year, the balance in the accumulated depreciation account is zero.

Compare the book value to the sale price. If the book value is more than the sale price the equipment was sold for a loss. If the book value is less than the sale price, the equipment was sold for a gain.

C$.$ Journalize the entry on December $31$ to record the sale. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
