Calculation the amount of gain or loss on sale of the fixed assets.
Merton Company purchased a building at a cost of $364,000 on January 1, 2006. Merton estimated that the building\'s life would be 25 years and the residual value at the end of 25 years would be $14,000.
On January 1, 2007, the company made several expenditures related to the building. The entire building was painted and floors were refinished at a cost of $21,000. A federal agency required Merton to install additional pollution-control devices in the building at a cost of $42,000. With the new devices, Merton believed it was possible to extend the life of the building by an additional six years.
In 2008 Merton altered its corporate strategy dramatically. The company sold the building on April 1, 2008, for $392,000 in cash and relocated all operations in another state.
What amount of gain or loss did Merton record when it sold the building? What amount of gain or loss would have been reported if the pollution-control equipment had been expensed in 2009?
