Machinery that was purchased in 2018 for $16,000 is sold for $2,900 cash, f.o.b. purchaser's plant. Freight of $300 is paid on the sale of this machinery. A gear breaks on a machine that cost $9,000 in 2017. The gear is replaced at a cost of $2,000. The replacement does not extend the useful life of the machine but does make the machine more efficient.
