How much cash was received from the disposal of machinery?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cash received from the disposal of machinery can be calculated by adding the profit on sale of machinery to the carrying value of the machinery sold. The carrying value of the machinery sold is $90,000, and the profit on sale is $20,000. Therefore, the cash received is $90,000 + $20,000 = $110,000.
