- Cash is an asset, and it increases the value of assets by $18,250. Therefore, debit the cash account with $18,250.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset, and it increases the asset by $24,625. Therefore, debit Accumulated depreciation with $24,625.
- Loss on sale of machinery is loss of the company and it decreases the value of equity by $1,125. Therefore, debit the loss on sale of machinery with $1,125.
- Machinery is an asset, and it decreases the value of assets by $44,000. Therefore, credit machinery account by $44,000.
