Shocker associates sold office equipment for cash of $162,000. the accumulated depreciation at date of sale amounted to $123,000, and a gain of $16,000 was recognized on the sale. the original cost of the asset must have been:

Original Cost of asset = $269,000

Explanation:

Provided information,

We have been provided that selling value of equipment = $162,000

Gain recognized on sale = $16,000

Gain = Selling price - Book Value

$16,000 = $162,000 - Book Value

Book Value = $162,000 - $16,000 = $146,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $123,000

Book Value = Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

$146,000 = Original cost - $123,000

$146,000 + $123,000 = Original Cost = $269,000
