See below.

Explanation:

For Machinery we make the following entry,

Accumulated depreciation debit by $62,300

                                         Machinery account credit by $62,300

For Computer disposal we make the following record,

Accumulated Depreciation debit by $25,560

Loss on disposal Debit by $3,640

Cash debit by $13,400

                                            Computer credit by $42,600

The total book value of the asset at time of sale was $17,040 so a loss is recorded. Depreciation for 3 years is applicable.

For Delivery truck we make the following records,

Debit the accumulated depreciation for truck account by $26,200

Debit loss on asset disposal of $16,100

                                             Credit Delivery truck by $42,300

We assume that the entire asset was fully depreciated incurring a loss on disposal as no information whether the salvage value was recovered is shown. We record the entire net book value after 4 years as loss.

Hope that helps.
