Question - On June 29th, 2020, Elf Gamers Inc. began considering selling one of its office buildings. The building was purchased for $8,000,000 on April 28, 2018. The company's policy is to depreciate noncurrent assets on a straight-line basis for 10 years with zero salvage value. Management of the company has not yet advertised for the sale or received any offers from potential buyers. The expectation is that the asset could still be used for the following 2 years before it is sold. If the asset is sold today, it would be sold for $3,000,000 but would cost $25,000 to sell.
