Answer:

$223,000; $75,000

Explanation:

(a)

Balance:

= Equipment opening balance - Exchange for common stock - Scrapped equipment - Cost of equipment sale

= $575,000 - $25,000 - $5,000 - $39,000

= $506,000

Cash paid for equipment purchases:

= Equipment Ending Balance - Balance

= $729,000 - $506,000

= $223,000

(b)

Depreciation expense:

= Ending Balance - (Accumulated depreciation opening balance - Depreciation for scrap - Depreciation of equipment sale)

= 120,500 - ($165,000 - 52,500 - 67,000)

= 120,500 - 45,500

= $75,000
