Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Depreciation on basis of straight line method

= $473,000 ÷ 10

= $47,300

Depreciation Expense of 2020 = $47,300 × 1

= $473,00

Depreciation Dr,                               $47,300

       To accumulated Depreciation           $47,300

(Being depreciation is recorded)

Accumulated Depreciation Dr         $473,000

                    To Equipment a/c                      $473,000

(Being equipment retired)

( being equipment retired is recorded)

Balance Sheet Partial

Equipment Balance = Equipment - Accumulated Depreciation

= $48,247,000 -  $8,493,000

= $39,754,000

Equipment = Opening Balance + Purchases - Sales - Retired Equipment

= 47,320,000 + 2,480,000 - 1,080,000 - 473,000

= $ 48,247,000

Accumulated Depreciation ( Equipment) = Opening Balance + Depreciation on equipment on 1 May + Depreciation on equipment on 31 Dec + Depreciation on equipment on 31 Dec - Depreciation on equipment on 1 May - Depreciation on retired equipment on 31 Dec

= 4,650,000 + 36,000 + 47,300 + 4,700,700 - 468000 - 473,000

= $ 8,493,000

Total Plants Assets  = Land + (Building - Accumulated Depreciation) + (Equipment - Accumulated Depreciation)

= $5,355,000 + ( $29,120,000 - $13,822,400) + $39,754,000

= $60,406,600
