Respuesta :

Answer:

C. Equipment Cr. $310,000

Explanation:

Whenever there is sale of asset, then the entire asset is removed from balance sheet as it is no longer part of company's assets, thus the carrying balances related to such asset are then reversed.

For this in the given instance the carrying cost of $310,000 will be reversed from and equipment will be credited by $310,000

Also accumulated depreciation having credit balance will now be reversed and entry will include

Debit of accumulated depreciation = $260,000

Therefore, correct option is

C. Equipment Cr. $310,000
