Hi the question you posted is incomplete, i have searched the full question online and it reads as follows :
Onslow Co. purchases a used machine for $178,000 cash on January 2 and readies it for use the next day at a $2,840 cost. On January 3, it is installed on a required operating platform costing $1,160, and it is further readied for operations. The company predicts the machine will be used for six years and have a $14,000 salvage value. Depreciation is to be charged on a straight-line basis. On December 31, at the end of its fifth year in operations, it is disposed of.
Required:

Explanation:
Required 1
Cost of Asset = Purchase Cost + Costs directly attributed to place the assets in location and condition intended for operation by management.
Thus, Cost of Asset = $178,000 + $2,840 + $1,160
= $182,000
Required 2
Depreciation Expense(Straight line) = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life
Straight line charges a fixed amount of depreciation.
Thus, depreciation charge each year will be :
Depreciation Expense(Straight line) = ($182,000 - $14,000) ÷ 6
= $28,000
Required 3
On Disposal of Asset, the following must the remembered ;
- Derecognize the Cost of Asset
- Derecognize the Accumulated Depreciation
- Recognize the Proceeds on Disposal (if any)
- Recognize the Profit or Loss on Disposal
