Working note:

1. Calculation of gain on exchange of equipment

$\begin{array}{c}Gainonexchange=FairValueofnewequipment鈭�Bookvalueofoldequipment鈭�Cashpaid\\ =\$116,000鈭�\left(\$129,000鈭�\$74,000\right)鈭�\$55,000\\ =\$6,000\end{array}$

2. Calculation of partial depreciation on equipment sold on 1 April

$\begin{array}{c}Depreciationforcurrentyear=\frac{Cost鈭�ResidualValue}{Usefullife}脳\frac{Monthinuse}{12}\\ =\frac{\$12,000鈭�\$0}{5}脳\frac{3}{12}\\ =\$600\end{array}$

3. Calculation of depreciation expense on office equipment by double declining method

Year	Opening value/ Depreciable base	Depreciation rate	Depreciation expenses	Accumulated depreciation	Ending value
1	$116,000	50%	$58,000	$58,000	$58,000
2	$58,000	50%	$29,000	$87,000	$29,000
3	$29,000	50%	$14,500	$101,500	$14,500
4	$14,500	50%	$7,250	$7,250	$7,250

$\begin{array}{c}Depreciation\text{鈥夆赌�}rate=\frac{100\%}{Useful\text{鈥夆赌�}life}\\ =\frac{100\%}{4}脳2\\ =50\%\end{array}$
