Question:
On March 31, 2017, Wayside Corporation purchased a new piece of manufacturing equipment for $1,615,000. At that time, the estimated useful life of the equipment was five years, with a residual value of $325,000. On August 1, 2020, due to increased competition causing a decreased selling price for its product, Wayside decided to discontinue the product. By December 31, 2020, there was a formal plan in place to sell the equipment, and the equipment qualified for classification as held for sale. At December 31, 2020, the equipment's fair value less costs to sell was $260,000. Due to matters beyond Wayside's control, a potential sale of the equipment fell through in 2021, although consumer confidence in Wayside's product increased significantly because of reported defects in its competitors' products. The equipment remained classified as held for sale at December 31, 2021, when the equipment's fair value less costs to sell increased to $725,000. Wayside uses the straight-line method to depreciate its equipment.
